Snow Country Train Ticket Tips | Harbin-Mohe

Experience the coldest weather in the coldest season. If you don't go to the beach in winter, go to Mohe, the northernmost part of China. You can fly from Harbin to Mohe, but the best way to experience the journey is to take the Snow Country Train. 🚉 Snow Country Train: K7039 Harbin-Mohe. Time: 17:18-10:05 (T+1), 16 hours and 47 minutes in total. Winter in the northeast has short days and long nights, and this train is perfect for having dinner and sleeping on the train, and arriving in Mohe the next morning to start your day. So, after the tickets are released 15 days in advance on 12306, the soft sleeper tickets are almost sold out immediately. 📝 Ticket tips: 1. Be sure to get a soft sleeper. Soft sleeper is CNY 398.5, hard sleeper is CNY 254.5. In the winter, trust me, choose a soft sleeper for a more comfortable night's sleep and you'll be refreshed the next day. 2. Prioritize Harbin-Mohe. If you can't get a ticket, don't worry, there's a second option. 3. You can buy tickets in segments. For example, Harbin-Jiagedaqi, then Jiagedaqi-Mohe. We were traveling as a group of four, and at first we were worried that if we bought tickets this way, we would be separated, so we were prepared to ask someone to switch tickets with us. But the system should be able to recognize this, and there should be extra tickets for segments. The four of us bought tickets separately, and our seats were perfectly together. 🧳 Preparation: What to wear? Harbin and Mohe are both below -20°C, and Mohe feels colder, but the train is not cold, especially inside the carriage. Wear a short sleeve or thin base layer inside, suitable for sleeping in the closed carriage at night. When you go out, you must wear down pants and a down jacket, and be sure to bring a hat, gloves, and a mask! The wind is bone-chilling!
