What makes Central Avenue so amazing to the world is its pavement. Pavement with the square stone for granite, shaped like a Russian bun, after a hundred years of baptism, they are still so dense and delicate, step on the undulating, smooth and delicate rhythmic texture, let a person comfortable body, step, the road paved with such an art, in the history of Chinese and foreign architecture are rare. It is said that in the old days, the price of a square stone is worth a silver dollar, it can be said that the road paved with gold.

Central Avenue pavement

Central Avenue, there are a lot of Russian malls, Northeast specialty stores, Harbin red sausage store, you can buy some special products in the wandering, go back as a gift to send friends is quite good.

Central Street has a lot of food, to slowly taste

Lunch on Central Street to solve, it is recommended not to eat a store on the full, so that a lot of good food you can not taste. You can start by going to Mao Mao Bacon at 56 Da An Street to try their bacon burrito. The bacon is tender and made with absolute authenticity, served with a big crispy pancake. There are also northeastern dishes, the pot roast is crunchy, and the complimentary jujube water is quite thirst-quenching.

Remember, don't order more than one, just taste it, one cake per person is enough, and then go to the next stop. Considering that you've already had your pie, you might consider taking a seat at Huamei West Restaurant next. However, for this restaurant, it is recommended not to go there at meal time, or you will have to wait in line for a long time for a table.

After checking the information on the Internet beforehand, the following dishes are considered to be their signature dishes: toasted bread ($12/serving), canned smothered lamb ($32/serving), canned shrimp ($32/serving), soft fried mahi-mahi ($30/serving), deep fried onion rings ($20/serving), deep fried plate shrimp ($36/pc), beetroot soup ($10/serving), and Harbor Beer Pure Life ($12/bottle). As for how much and what to order, it depends on your meal size and taste. The legendary beet soup is actually tomato sauce soup with a little dashi, or cabbage, in it. I joked to myself that I would make this soup for my family when I got home. If you're not full from Huamei, you can try the local dumplings at Oriental Dumpling King. The dumplings are freshly made, and you can see how they're made in the "transparent studio". The cucumber and shrimp dumplings are light and flavorful, with the aroma of cucumber accentuating the sweetness of the shrimp; the triple-fresh dumplings are a must, with a delicious filling and a superb taste of soup when you bite into them. Also do northeastern dishes, gold medal roast goose skin is quite crispy, soy sauce skeleton portion is very sufficient. After this journey, it's hard not to be full. If you have a really big stomach, you can also go to Lao Chang Spring Cake, Lucia West Restaurant to pick some specialties to taste. But whether you're full or not, there's one more thing you have to savor on Central Avenue, and that's the Mardi Gras Popsicle.

A hundred years old - Mardiell Popsicle

Mardiell is the Central Avenue is absolutely old. Mardiell Hotel, Mardiell Music Bar, Mardiell Western Restaurant, Mardiell Cold Drink Shop. Just from these stores, it is enough to prove that Mardiell has a place in Central Avenue. Of course, the most famous of all is the Mardiell Popsicle. It is said that the daily sales of Mardiell Popsicle in Central Avenue alone reaches more than 10,000 sticks. In the past, I read on the internet that Mardiell popsicles only cost two dollars a piece. But when I got to Central Avenue, I realized that a genuine Mardi Gras ice cream costs five dollars a piece. Have you had enough? Then I recommend the last kind of food, can help you digest digestion, that is ice candy gourd. Harbin's ice candy gourd is unique, special to you must have the courage to eat. Because after more than 10 degrees below zero temperature "refined" ice candy gourd, on the one hand, eat up more hard, on the other hand, also can make your whole mouth are "ice" in the end, the feeling is unable to use words to describe.

Tips: Preparation before departure

1, warm equipment

Harbin's winter is relatively cold compared to the south, in February in Harbin, the temperature is about -25 ℃ to -10 ℃ between, so before going to do a good preparation for the cold is quite necessary. Therefore, fleece pants, scarves, gloves, ear muffs, hats, masks, cotton socks and other warm equipment is essential, and if there is a ski suit or a punching bag, it is undoubtedly equipment with a high degree of defense.

(1) Shoes: "Cold starts from the feet". From the perspective of warmth, shoes are the most important. A pair of lightweight and warm shoes can make you feel warm all over. From the economic point of view, a pair of cotton shoes within 20 yuan will be enough, conditions allow, you can buy a good warmth and higher price.

(2) Clothes: also to lightweight, ski clothing is the best choice, wind blocking also cold, rushing clothes, down jacket next.

(3) fleece pants: if there are southerners feel that they are more resistant to freezing and can not wear fleece pants, then you are wrong. Harbin's cold is a bit cold to the bone feeling, leg warmth is quite important.

(4) Hat: very necessary. Although Harbin is not very cold during the day, sometimes it is still windy and the temperature is low. Remember, hats are not only the right of women, but also necessary for men, after all, the body is their own.

(5) gloves: go out to play, the hand can not always be installed in the pocket. Take pictures, press the shutter, POSE, or carry a bag, eat, hand will be with the cold air in Harbin zero distance contact, therefore, the gloves are essential items, and must be a good point of warmth of the gloves, to the night you will know!

(6) Mask: If you're not afraid of your face being hurt by the wind, maybe a mask might not be so necessary for you. But it's absolutely necessary for those XDJMs who love beauty and tender flesh.

(7) Warm baby: Prepare a few pieces of warm baby, after arriving in Harbin, you can paste the warm baby on the back, stomach, knees, soles of the feet, according to the individual degree of coldness and warmth to choose the number of positions to paste. It is worth noting that the warm baby do not directly contact with the skin, be sure to isolate the layer of clothing directly affixed to the clothing, heating and warming effect is still quite good.

(8) moisturizing: Harbin's air is very dry, humidity is generally about 20%. So, moisturizing is very important. Some southern friends, after arriving in Harbin will nosebleed, this is because there is no drinking water caused by capillary rupture caused. In fact, it is very simple, drink more water every day will be no problem. Ladies bring a lip balm would be better.

(9) Preventing colds and flu: Since there is a relatively large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, never go outdoors when you are sweating or have very little clothing, or you will easily catch a cold.

(10) Preventing frostbite: If you are outdoors for a long time and have the feeling of freezing your hands and feet, you should move around immediately to speed up blood circulation and prevent frostbite. Found hands and feet or ears, nose frostbite, not immediately with fire or hot water, should be slowly rubbed, when rubbed from white to red, that is, to restore normal blood circulation, and then use medication.

2, round-trip tickets

Given that there are only two days of vacation weekend, the best time to leave the natural Friday night departure, Sunday night return, only need to stay one night in Harbin. Train one night directly to Harbin, but also save accommodation costs. You can buy a hard sleeper, soft seat or soft sleeper, depending on individual economic conditions. Of course, it is best to buy a sleeper, a sleep over, not only to avoid the long-distance ride tired, but also for the next day's tour to save energy. The specific train number has Z1, Z15, T17 to choose from, when buying tickets can be bought together with the return ticket.

3. Camera and batteries

Condensation can be a problem when you come back inside from the cold. Just as a beer bottle from the fridge gets a layer of water on it on a very hot summer day, your camera will have the same problem, with moisture in the warm air condensing on the surface of the lens and components, causing serious damage. So, to let your camera warm up slowly, put it back in its bag before going back indoors, and before going inside, put the buckled bag on a cool windowsill or unheated balcony for a couple of hours to allow it to slowly return to indoor temperature. Another method that is also practical is to wrap the cold camera in a plastic bag; the moisture will condense on the outside of the bag rather than on the surface of the camera body or components. Note that you'll want to cover the camera with the bag right outside the house, not after you bring it inside.

Digital Camera Battery PowerLoss of power occurs in severe cold conditions, and you'll find that your batteries go dead quickly; bring a spare battery, and keep your batteries close at hand. No electricity battery feel your body temperature, warm for a while, you will find that the battery is full again. In addition to tell you a little secret, you can buy a kind of heat paste in the drugstore or supermarket, like a band-aid on the battery part of the camera, you can enjoy the fun of photography without worrying about the battery is dead.

4, hotel accommodation

Generally, you can go on the group-buying navigation site, the target city will be defined as Harbin, and then search for hotels, you can find a lot of Harbin is participating in the group-buying of hotels, and find a suitable price in the Daoli district of the hotel group purchase 1 night can be. Remember to call the hotel 3 days in advance to reserve a room.

5, attractions tickets

Harbin's famous attractions, such as Ice World, Sun Island Snow Fair tickets are still a little expensive. The adult ticket for the Ice World is 330 yuan per person, and the student ticket is 160 yuan per person.

I hope the answer is helpful to you!!!!
