Longyun Express (shuttle bus) from Xuexiang Snow Town <-> Yabulixi timetable

I'm planning on a day tour to the Xuexiang Snow Town from Harbin.

Via the official homepage (http://www.zhongguoxuexiang.com/guanyuwomen/jiaotongxianlu/), they say "Harbin → Yabuli → Xuexiang (after taking the high-speed train to Yabuli, take the Longyun Express to Xuexiang)".

Via Trip, I can access the timetable of the high-speed train from Harin <-> Yabulixi. However, I still can't find the exact timetable for the Longyun Express (shuttle bus?) from Yabuli to Xuexiang and vice versa. This is pretty important because we are only planning on a day trip. We wouldn't want to miss the last bus to Yabuli or the last train to Harbin.

Do flight routes from Harbin to USA get canceled or disappear?

My mom and I want to visit family in Harbin and flying from Seattle in Beijing and then taking the train to Harbin. I found a flight back from Harbin to Seattle on Asiana a few days ago but now it’s just showing me no options for that route and I checked dates within two months. Does anyone know if this route got canceled?

My owner had enter in my rent apartment without my permission

We are a couple from Spain.

The owner wants to show the apartment while we have rented it. We never reached that agreement, but we didn't think it was all bad as long as he tells us when he is going to come and it suits us.

We have been in the flat for two weeks and we still have three more to go.

Today he wanted to show the apartment at 11, and we told him that it was impossible because we were not in the apartment. The guy who found the apartment for us asked if the owner could enter even if we were not there. We said NO. Then we told him that he could come in the afternoon(15:00) since we would be here.

We arrived at the apartment around 11:30 am, and we were showering. When we were about to have lunch, suddenly we heard many voices, and the door opened and people entered. Minutes before, we were naked, going to the room to pick up clothes to get dressed after showering. So if they had arrived minutes earlier, they would have found us in that situation.

We no longer trust the owner to come in whenever they want. A week ago, we were away for several days, and they wanted to show the flat, and we told them no. Now, how do we know that they have not entered?

Is this normal? Could we tell him to return the money that remains from the rent to look for another place? We live in Harbin and we are foreigners. This is the first time it has happened to us, and we have already been to China four times. I'm still angry

Will there be snow mid November?

Hu. We're planning to visit Harbin from 16-18 November this year. We're wondering if there will be snow? I know the Ice Festival won't be available at that time but it's also one of the reasons we choose that date, to avoid the crowds and to enjoy the chilly colds of Harbin to ourselves.

Thanks alot.

Bars and clubs

Hey everyone - I’m in harbin right now and loving it, however I decided to have a night out and many of the club and bars recommended online didn’t exist! Blues and box town were all over the internet, but they’re both closed down. The Russian disco bar is still open and was good, but I was wondering what other bars there are? Want to save myself the trouble of catching a taxi for nothing.

Visit in January

Hello I’m thinking of visiting harbin in January for the ice festival. Most likely be on my own and stay in a hostel. Is a week a good amount of time to visit? Is there much else to do as a tourist or should I look at going somewhere else in the area? Anything I should know beforehand? (Other than it’s very cold) Thanks

Missing Connections

Hey, my name is Brian I use to teach and live in Harbin back in 2014 - 2015. While I was there I dated a woman named Diane from Scotland who was also teaching there. Over the years I lost my wechat account and lost contact with most of the people I knew over there. But I would really like to reconnect with this person. I know this is a total shot in the dark but if anyone could help me out, let me know.... Also If you remember me drop me a message, and let's reconnect.
