马英 程先好
人们常说的雪乡,指的是位于黑龙江省牡丹江市海林市大海林林业局施业区内的雪乡国家森林公园。这里雪量大、雪质好、雪期长,积雪期从每年10月至次年5月,年均积雪厚度达2米,“中国雪乡”由此得名。如此壮观的雪景在中国其他地方难得一见,这是因为日本海的暖气流与俄罗斯贝加尔湖的冷气流在此频繁交汇,造就了这里“夏无三日晴,冬雪漫林间”的奇特小气候。纵使太阳高照,气温也不高,哪怕白天融掉一部分雪,到了夜晚,气温又降到零下20多摄氏度,新雪便飘飘然飞落而下。
雪乡成名已久,但其真正声名鹊起,离不开影视剧的助力。这里十几年间先后接待了10余个影视剧摄制组,《闯关东》《智取威虎山》《北风那个吹》等影视剧以及亲子秀节目《爸爸去哪儿》等都曾在此取景。热播的综艺节目和影视剧更加激发了人们对“林海雪原”的向往。
从清晨到日暮,雪乡在光阴流转中散发着无边的魅力。
如果你不畏零下30摄氏度的严寒,装备又齐全的话,可以在清晨四五点钟起床,去羊草山上赏日出。推门而出,鞋子踩在雪地上发出“吱呀呀”的声音,邻近的房屋、树木在白雪的反射下清晰可见,依稀看到袅袅炊烟从不远处的木屋中升起,为这白雪皑皑的世界增添了一分人间烟火的气息。
羊草山以山顶树少草多而得名,这里视野开阔,是雪乡观看日出的绝佳地点。抵至山顶,东方已呈姹紫嫣红和鱼肚白。放眼远眺,远处的山脊将天际线分割得分外明朗。片刻后,东方紫气升腾,退却几分烟雾,山峦倏然披上紫色宝衣。等回过神来,太阳已像个金色的火球腾空而起,让人猝不及防,目及之处的白雪也被晨光染上金色,如梦如幻,妙不可言。
吃过早饭,稍作休整后,可以去棒槌山观光栈道。栈道全长3200米,木质结构,依山而建,在这里既可远眺群山银装素裹的壮观景致,也可俯瞰被厚厚白雪包裹着的农家院。一排排木屋错落有致,屋顶、檐角压着厚厚的雪,再加上一个个形态各异、憨状可掬的“雪蘑菇”冒出头来,让人不禁莞尔。
雪韵大街是雪乡的主干道,道路两旁商铺林立,邮局、银行、剧院、小卖部,应有尽有。旅游旺季时,路上满是熙熙攘攘的行人,热闹非凡。热腾腾的烤地瓜、甜滋滋的冰糖葫芦和东北“冻三样”(冻梨、冻柿子、冻红果)、马迭尔冰棍随处可见,沿街商贩的叫卖声不绝于耳,接地气的东北话让人倍感亲切。
在雪白的世界中,不妨和雪乡的雪来一次亲密接触。滑雪、堆雪人、打雪仗、狗拉爬犁、马拉爬犁、雪地摩托,人们可以尽情在冰雪中嬉戏玩耍。“泼水成冰”是热门的打卡玩法,在雪乡,不用担心温度不够低,只要接一杯开水尽情挥洒,再穿件亮色的衣服,配上腾空跃起的动作,就能体验无穷的樂趣。当然,你也可以只是在村落里随便逛逛,赏赏雪景,看看雾凇,随手拿起相机或手机拍风景,白雪映衬下的种种风物绝不会辜负你的闲情逸致。
雪乡天黑比较早,一般下午4点就日落了。身居与雪韵大街数街之隔的农家小院,可尽情感受日落后的宁静与祥和。夜晚,坐在屋内热乎乎的炕头上,盖着红绿相间的棉被,看着家家户户门口高挂着的大红灯笼依次亮起,映照着簌簌的雪,雪花随物具形,千姿百态,犹如身处“冰雪奇缘”的童话世界,顿感温暖和煦、岁月静好。
小贴士
【交通】
1.从哈尔滨出发:黑龙江省会哈尔滨到雪乡的直达大巴几乎每小时一班,单程约6小时,旅游网站可直接预定。
2.从牡丹江出发:牡丹江客运站每天14:00有发往雪乡的专线车,约19:10到达。
3.从长汀镇出发: 长汀林业客运站到雪乡的车每天6:30、13:30发车,约3个小时到达。
【服装】
1.加厚羽绒服和羽绒裤是必备的,不穿羽绒套装的话可以穿加绒的冲锋衣套装。
2.手套要准备超厚的,最好能防水,这样就可以随意堆雪人了。防滑雪地靴也是必备的,在雪地里行走会方便很多。
Fairy Tale World in Chinas Snow Town
The well-known Snow Town (Xuexiang) refers to the Xuexiang National Forest Park under the administration of the Dahailin Forestry Bureau, Hailin City, Mudanjiang, Helongjiang. With a large amount of snowfall, fine snow and a long snowfall period, the town has a snow season from October to May. Moreover, its annual average snow depth is up to 2 meters. Thus, it got the name “China Snow Town”.
Over the past dozen years, the town has welcomed more than 10 film and TV crews, including Brave the Journey to Northeast, The Taking of Tiger Mountain, The North Wind Blows and other TV plays, as well as the parent-child reality show Where Are We Going, Dad.
The Yangcaoshan Mountain got its name because of sparse trees and lush grass on the mountaintop. Enjoying an open view, it is a perfect place to watch the sunrise in the town. Xueyun Street, as the main road of the town, is lined with shops, including post offices, banks, theaters and food-stores, complete with everything.
At night, you can sit on a heated brick bed, covered with a red and green quilt, and see the hanging red lanterns of every household being lit up in turn, reflecting the rustling snow and wispy smoke; under the action of the wind, snowflakes appear in different shapes. Like entering a fairy tale world in the film Frozen, you may feel warm and peaceful.
