In Harbin in winter, you can eat popsicles and wear short-sleeves.

These can only be experienced in Harbin in winter, which only shows that Harbin’s thermal insulation facilities are so good.

Apart from these few winters, the scenery in Harbin is also very good.

Let's take a look.

1. Central Street If you haven’t been to Central Street, it means you haven’t been to Harbin.

Walking on the street paved with bricks, accompanied by music, is full of Russian style. From time to time, blond foreigners pass by on the street, as if you are in a European town.

In the winter here, you must buy a Tracy McGrady popsicle. The popsicle is inside, and you can walk on the street at minus 20 degrees Celsius.

The colder it is, the tastier it is.

PS: It is recommended to start playing in the afternoon.

The shops on Central Street close early in winter, most of them close around 9 o'clock.

From afternoon to evening, you can take pictures of the different European styles of Central Street during the day and night.

2. Hagia Sophia starts from Central Street, two blocks from Sophia Square.

I don’t know how many people’s first impression of the Ice City started with a postcard of Sophia Cathedral, which has become the symbol of the Ice City.

The church bells rang, and the whole old church trembled and the sound echoed. It was the sweetest sound in the entire city.

Flocks of pigeons were flying around the church.

Tired from the flight, they landed in the square in front of the church and ate the crumbs fed by tourists.

PS: The interior of Sophia Church has been converted into a small art gallery.

You need to buy a ticket at the door to enter.

Friends who are not interested in history can choose to take pictures outside.

The font tower is located at the end of Central Avenue.

This is a memorial tower built to commemorate the deeds of fighting floods many years ago.

Now it has become a must-pass for tourists visiting the Songhua River and a place to take photos and check in.

Behind the tower is the Songhua River.

After the river freezes in winter, various ice entertainment projects appear one after another, such as skating, snowball fights, ice sculpture slides, sledding, ice pumping, snow pulling, snow carriages, etc. Get ready to enjoy it.

PS: Be sure to read the announcement before going to Songhua River.

If the ice isn't frozen, don't go on the ice.

Safety first.

3. The Flood Control Memorial Tower Railway Bridge, also known as the First Songhua River Bridge on the Eastern Railway, was built in the 26th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu on the east side of Stalin Park not far from the Flood Control Memorial Tower.

Take a photo with the old railway bridge over the snow-covered river.

Away from tourists and with a clean background.

You are the absolute protagonist.

At sunset, the bridges and ancient railway bridges on both sides of the Yangtze River are dyed into warm yellow snow by the setting sun, giving people the illusion of being on the set of a TV series shot in the Republic of China.

PS: There is a glass plank road in the middle of the bridge. It is interesting to see the scenery under the bridge through the glass.

The narrow sidewalks on both sides are particularly suitable for taking retro photos.

4. The Railway Bridge Sun Island is on the other side of the Flood Control Memorial Tower.

You can take the ropeway to overlook the beautiful scenery of Central Street and the Songhua River, or you can ride a carriage across the river and cross the snow-covered road like the protagonist in the fairy tale.

In winter, Sun Island is the best place to have snowball fights and see snow sculptures.

This is probably what many southerners want to do when they get stuck in the deep snow and leave their own unique "marks".

Sun Island holds a snow expo every winter, and the white snow sculptures are no less than the ice sculptures in the ice and snow world.

PS: Sun Island is so big that it takes a day to circle around the island.

It’s enough to see the snow sculptures and the main attractions.

Minus 20 degrees outside the Ice City is no joke.

It's windy by the river, so don't stay outside for too long.

5. If you come to Harbin from Sun Island, you can’t miss the Ice and Snow World.

Every year, ice sculpture artists from all over the world display their talents and carve works with different themes, which are basically different.

During the day, the ice and snow world is relatively "cold", with pure white and light blue ice sculptures everywhere.

It's like walking into Elsa's castle in Frozen.

So beautiful.

As night falls, colorful lights light up, and the "cold" ice sculptures are given individual colors, each with its own unique temperament.

They are more lively and full of pyrotechnics at lower temperatures than during the day.

PS: Many popular projects in Ice and Snow World require queuing.

It is recommended to find a few friends to play with.

Different projects can take turns to line up. Go to the cabin to avoid the cold. Be sure to wear thick clothes.

6. Ice and Snow World is a paradise for foreigners. The oldest and most authentic taste of Ice City is in this ancient street.

For foodies, how can you be a tourist if you haven’t tasted the most authentic local flavor?

In addition to delicious food, this is also a favorite place for photographers.

Walking on some dilapidated and narrow streets, you will see European classical buildings everywhere, with a unique charm of historical accumulation.

PS: In the north, the dishes are abundant and the prices are affordable.

One dish is more than enough for two people.

Friends who go to the south can divide the southern dishes into two or three to avoid waste.

Travel tip: Harbin’s cold winter is no joke. It’s basically minus ten or twenty degrees, so be sure to bring all the cold-proof equipment before departure.

Recommended equipment It is recommended to wear a bright coat, red is the first choice, blue, yellow, gray, light colors are also good.
