St. Sophia Church is located at No.95, Toulong Street, Daoli District, Harbin, and is a landmark building in Harbin. The church was built in March, 197, in the thirty-third year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty. It was originally built as an embedded church for the construction of the Middle East Railway for the Fourth Infantry Division in Eastern Siberia, Russia. In the same year, a Russian tea merchant, I Fei Chisjiakov, funded the reconstruction of an all-wood structure church based on the embedded church. In 1911, a brick wall was built outside the wooden wall, forming a brick-wood structure church. The architectural plane of the church is arranged in the form of Greek cross, which is influenced by Byzantine architectural style. The main dome and bell tower have the traditional Russian "tent top" and "onion head" shapes.
The towering and magnificent Hagia Sophia church constitutes Harbin's unique exotic cultural landscape and urban customs. At the same time, it is an important historical witness of Russia's invasion of Northeast China and an important treasure for studying Harbin's modern history.
Central Street
Second stop: Central Street
Walk directly from Sophia Cathedral to Central Street, and you can reach the southernmost end of Central Street in about 1 minutes.
playing time: about 3 hours.
Central Street is one of the most famous streets in China. It was founded in 1898 and was originally called "China Street". It was renamed as "Central Street" in 1925. It starts from Songhua River Flood Control Memorial Tower in the north and ends at Jingwei Street in the south, with a total length of 1,45 meters and a width of 21.34 meters. Among them, Fangshi Road is 1.8 meters wide. The architectural style of the whole street is 71 European-style and imitation European-style buildings, and 13 renaissance, baroque, eclectic and modern multi-style protected buildings are gathered. A small street contains the four most influential architectural schools in the history of western architecture, including the most attractive cultural development history in Europe for nearly 3 years, which is rare in the world, including the profound history and the extensive exhibition of architectural art.
What is amazing about Central Street is its pavement. The square stones used for paving are made of granite, which are shaped like Russian buns. After a hundred years of baptism, they are still so dense and exquisite. The undulating, smooth and delicate rhythmic texture on them makes people feel comfortable and comfortable, and the art of paving roads is rare in the history of Chinese and foreign architecture. It is said that in the old days, the price of a square stone was worth a silver dollar, which is really a road paved with gold.
Pavement of Central Street
There are many Russian shopping malls, specialty shops in Northeast China and sausage shops in Harbin on Central Street. It is quite good to buy some special products while visiting and give them back as gifts to friends.
There are many delicious foods in Central Street. Take your time.
Lunch is settled in Central Street. It is recommended that you eat your fill without one store, so you won't be able to taste many delicious foods. You can try their bacon burritos at Mao Mao Bacon at No.56 Da 'an Street first. The bacon is tender, absolutely authentic, and it tastes delicious with crisp cakes. There are also northeast dishes, the pot meat is crispy, and the jujube water given is also quite thirst-quenching.
remember, don't order more, just taste it, one cake is enough for each person, and then go to the next stop. Considering that we have already eaten the cake, we can consider going to sit at the Hua Messi restaurant next. However, for this restaurant, it is recommended not to go at the meal, or you will have to wait in line for a long time.
I checked the information on the Internet in advance and found that the following dishes are their specialties: toast (12 yuan/serving), canned mutton (32 yuan/serving), canned shrimp (32 yuan/serving), soft-fried salmon (3 yuan/serving), fried onion rings (2 yuan/serving), fried plate shrimp (36 yuan/serving). As for how much and what to order, it depends on your appetite and taste. The legendary red cabbage soup is actually ketchup soup with some kohlrabi, that is, cabbage. I joked that I would make this soup for my family when I got home. If you haven't had enough after coming out of Huamei's Restaurant, you can also try the local jiaozi in the Oriental King of jiaozi. Dumplings are all made fresh, and you can see the operation process of the clerk through the "transparent studio". The dumplings with cucumber and shrimp are light and delicious, and the aroma of cucumber sets off the sweetness of shrimp to the fullest. Three fresh dumplings must be ordered, the stuffing is delicious, there is soup after biting, and the taste is super good. I also cook northeast dishes. The golden roast goose skin is quite crisp and the sauce skeleton is very heavy. After this journey, it's hard to be full. If your stomach is really big, you can also go to Laochang Spring Cake and Lucia Western Restaurant to taste some specialties. However, whether you are full or not, there is one thing you have to taste on Central Street, and that is the Madiel Popsicle.
a century-old brand-Mattel Popsicle
Mattel is an absolute time-honored brand in Central Street. Maddie Hotel, Maddie Music Bar, Maddie Western Restaurant, Maddie Cold Drink Shop. Just from these stores, it is enough to prove that Mattel has a place in Central Street. Of course, the most famous one is the Mattel Popsicle. It is said that in the Central Street alone, the Mattel Popsicle sells more than 1, popsicles every day. I saw it on the internet before, saying that the Madiel popsicle only costs two yuan each. I didn't know that the authentic Madiel ice cream cost five yuan until I got to the Central Street. Have you had enough? Then I recommend the last food that can help you digest, and that's Sugar-Coated Berry. Sugar-Coated Berry in Harbin is unique, so you must have the courage to eat it. Because Sugar-Coated Berry "tempered" by the temperature of more than 1 degrees below zero, on the one hand, tastes hard, on the other hand, it can make your whole mouth "ice" to the end, and that feeling can't be described in words.
Flood Control Memorial Tower
Third stop: Flood Control Memorial Tower
Play time: about 3 minutes
Central Street goes straight north, and the end point is a square where the Flood Control Memorial Tower is located. It was built in 1958 to commemorate the Harbin people's victory over the devastating flood in 1957. In 1957, Harbin was threatened by a severe flood, and the water level exceeded the flood peak of 1932 by .58 meters. The flood control memorial tower consists of a cylindrical tower body and a semi-circular corridor attached to it. The tower is 13 meters high and the Roman cloister is 7 meters high, which is spectacular. There are 11 semi-circular pools at the bottom of the tower, whose water level is the highest water level sign in 1957. The relief of the tower depicts a vivid plot to overcome the flood. At the top of the tower is a round sculpture composed of workers, peasants, soldiers and intellectuals, which shows the heroic image of overcoming the flood.
Next to the Flood Control Memorial Tower is the famous Songhua River, which basically freezes very thick in winter. Locals will go to the thick ice of Songhua River to play, and the entertainment items are also quite rich.
Stalin Park
Fourth stop: Stalin Park
Play time: about 3 minutes
Stalin Park is one of the summer resorts along the Songhua River, facing Sun Island across the river. Built in 1953, it was originally named "Riverside Park". With a total length of 1,75 meters, it is a strip-shaped open park built along the embankment and beside the water, covering an area of 15, square meters. Centered on the Flood Control Memorial Tower, the park is famous at home and abroad for imitating the Russian classical architectural style, the "five-colored grass flower beds" all over the park, and sixteen groups of artistic sculptures such as "Swan Spreading its Wings", "Three Teenagers", "Starting", "Diving" and "Sword Dancing" distributed among green spaces.
World of Ice and Snow
Fifth stop: World of Ice and Snow
Play time: about 3 hours
From the Flood Control Memorial Tower to the World of Ice and Snow, bus No.29 can go directly, the fare is 2 yuan, or you can take a taxi, about 29 yuan.
The World of Ice and Snow was born on the beautiful Songhua River at the end of 1999, and it is held on January 5th every year. It combines the essence of the world's ice and snow art, integrates the world's ice and snow amusement in one park, and integrates ideological, artistic, ornamental, participatory and entertaining aspects. It is known as a magnificent "ice and snow epic picture scroll" with magnificent scenes, magnificent shapes and beautiful scenery.
It's nice to go to Harbin Ice and Snow World in the evening, and the lights are all on, but it's better to arrive before sunset. You can see the ice lights when they are not on, and you can take pictures of the sunset and the ice lights. I saw the sun setting in a taxi, a huge, fiery sun, which is completely invisible to the south, and I was only anxious. In a short time after sunset, you can take pictures of the dark blue night sky and ice lamps, which have a different flavor than the later dark night sky.
The longest ice slide in the world of ice and snow is about 3 meters. You must sit down. Don't think you are an adult, and experience the feeling that your mind is blank at high speed.
unforgettable Harbin cuisine
sixth stop: midnight snack
location: it depends on one's taste. You can continue to look for food on Central Street. I recommend the Shixiang skewer workshop at No.147 Anguo Street (next to Xinyang Road) in Daoli District.
This is a barbecue shop for some years, with affordable prices, about 35 yuan per capita, and a complete variety. The sweet and sour spareribs are delicious and memorable. The hanging furnace chicken neck tastes good, so try it. Doudou soup is made of tomato sauce, sour and appetizing; Roasted mushrooms taste great.
a few people together, bring a bottle of local Harbin beer in each category, including five kinds of beer, such as special ultra-dry (12 yuan/bottle), 19 Zhen Cang (12 yuan/bottle), pure raw (1 yuan/bottle), wheat king (6 yuan/bottle) and special (4 yuan/bottle). It is definitely a very good way to walk.
Maoershan Ski Resort
D2: Maoershan Skiing-Long Ta-Sun Island Snow Expo
First stop: Maoershan Skiing
Some people may ask, why not Yabuli Skiing?
I took a photo of Yabuli skiing on Taobao before, and I was only in 6 yuan/person, including round-trip transfer+tickets+lunch+ski gear. Later, I heard from a local friend in Harbin that Yabuli's hidden consumption is high. In addition, Yabuli takes 3 hours by car and only 2 hours for skiing. Friends recommended us to go to Maoershan, saying that they are all places where Harbin locals go skiing. 18 yuan includes transportation and snow gear, and there is no other hidden consumption. It takes more than an hour by car, and the skiing time is 9:-15:, unlimited.
Actually, as a friend said, there is no hidden consumption in Maoershan, and skiing time is very long. Most people get weak after two hours of skiing. To be on the safe side, please hire a coach, 18 yuan/hour. In addition, you need to bring your own instant noodles for lunch, which is economical and affordable.

Tips: Preparation before departure
1. Warm equipment
Winter in Harbin is relatively cold compared with the south. In February, the temperature in Harbin is about -25℃ to -1℃, so it is quite necessary to prepare for the cold before going. Therefore, warm-keeping equipment such as cashmere trousers, scarves, gloves, earmuffs, hats, masks and cotton socks is essential. If there is a ski suit or a jacket, it is undoubtedly equipment with high defense.
(1) Shoes: "Cold starts from the foot". From the point of view of keeping warm, shoes are the most important. A pair of light and warm shoes can make you feel warm all over. Economically, a pair of cotton shoes within 2 yuan is enough. If conditions permit, you can buy one with good warmth and high price.
(2) clothes: they should also be light. Ski clothes are the best choice, and they are cold-resistant against wind, followed by jackets and down jackets.
(3) Cashmere pants: If some southerners think that they are more frost-resistant and can not wear cashmere pants, then you are wrong. The cold in Harbin is a bit cold to the bone, and the warmth of the legs is very important.
(4) hat: very necessary. Although Harbin is not very cold during the day, it is still windy and the temperature is low sometimes. 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 with your hands.
