When it snows, the world turns into a fairy tale

With heavy snow❄️, pet owners can't wait to take their dogs out to chase the first snow of 2025~ Running freely🐕, having snowball fights, diving headfirst into the snow and crawling forward... The joy of being with a dog adds another sparkling page✨ to the end of 2025. As the snow season arrives, let's check out some great snowy places to visit☃️! 📍Chongli · Huapiling Who would have thought that just a 3-hour drive from Beijing🚗, there is a place that feels just like Hokkaido🏔️. Snow-covered birch forests, glistening rime frost❄️, colorful houses—every snapshot is a stunning masterpiece📸. Dogs can freely explore and run around🐾, and both people and dogs can choose to hike a small loop trail. Temperatures here range from about -10°C to -20°C, so both people and pets must take proper warming measures and plan accordingly🧣. 📍Weihai (Rongcheng) Recommended spots: Putao Beach Bathing Area🏖️, Naxianghai coastline, Blue Weiss Shipwreck, Yandunjiao Swan Lake, and more. In recent years, Weihai has become a popular travel city, beautiful all year round, and the snow season is especially dreamy, truly a romantic highlight💖. Snow falls on the beach, sea mist drifts, shipwrecks lie quietly, swans dance gracefully, and running happily with your dog in the snow🐕 makes every photo look like a movie scene🎬. It’s best to visit from December to January when the chance of snow is higher☃️. Check the weather before traveling. Holidays are crowded, so off-peak travel is recommended🚗. 📍Harbin · Wuchang City, Shahezi Town, Snow Valley How can you miss the Northeast for snow fun? It’s about a 6-hour drive from Harbin to Snow Valley🚙. This place is dreamlike, with few people, thick and very clean snow❄️, making it a cost-effective snow destination. Both people and dogs can fully relax here🐶. Nearby Rime Ridge and Snow Town are also worth visiting. Be sure to check your dog’s cold tolerance in advance and prepare enough warm clothes and shoes for it🥶. 📍Ulan Butong Ulan Butong is said to be an underrated snowy secret land, with endless snowfields🏔️ and white birch forests covered in rime frost. Even the wind carries a quiet romance💞. Dogs can run freely in this vast snowy land🐕, and the unspoken joy between people and dogs can only be understood by those who have been here🤗. Don’t miss sights like Warm Water River sunrise, Xiaohotou rime frost, and Nanjing grazing✨~ There are few tourists here, it’s cost-effective, about 400 kilometers from Beijing, and most nearby shops are pet-friendly🛍️. The snow season usually lasts from December to March☃️. Traveling in the snow season means low temperatures and slippery roads⚠️. Be sure to prepare your destination plan and take full precautions to better enjoy your trip! Do you have any secret snowy spots? Come share them in the comments💬! Photos:
