Given its location in the cold mountains, it is hard for resources to get there thus things are more expensive compared to other areas in Harbin. I recommend you must try their BBQ MILK, which is milk boiled with red dates and goji berries and flower petals of choice. Inn rooms are small but clean and functional. No 5 stars hotel here. Food is great for me. It is only...
