Matters needing attention in Harbin tourism
Compared with the south, the winter in Harbin is relatively cold, but it is not as cold as expected. The reason is that winter in Harbin is dry, so it doesn't feel as cold as the weather forecast says. Indoor heating, the general temperature is above 18 degrees.
However, due to the climate characteristics of Harbin, there are still some precautions:
1, shoes.
"Cold starts from the feet". From the point of view of keeping warm, shoes are the most important. A pair of light and warm shoes will make you feel warm all over. Economically, a pair of cotton shoes within 20 yuan is enough:)
2. clothes
Be light, too. Down jacket is the best choice.
3. hat
It is not necessary. There is no wind at night in Harbin, but the temperature is slightly lower. A scarf is enough for women, but not enough for men.
Step 4 increase moisture
The air in Harbin is very dry, and the humidity is generally around 20%. Therefore, moisturizing is very important. Some friends from the south will have nosebleeds when they arrive in Harbin, which is caused by the rupture of capillaries due to lack of drinking water. It's actually quite simple. Drink more water every day. Ladies had better bring a lip balm:)
Step 5 prevent colds
Because of the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, don't go outdoors when sweating or wearing less clothes, otherwise it will easily cause a cold.
Other matters:
1. Visitors can buy down clothes and wool clothes locally, which are cheap, thick and cold-resistant. Besides, take a set of hats, scarves and gloves, just in case.
2. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor in Northeast China is very large, so it is very easy to catch a cold. It is best to bring cold medicine and other medicines.
In the cold and dry climate, your hands are easy to sting and your lips are easy to dry. Lip balm or moisturizer can't go wrong.
In Harbin, where the temperature is tens of degrees below zero, the shutters of professional cameras can't freeze. Therefore, if you bring a professional camera, you must pay attention to the warm performance of the machine. In addition, the film is brittle after freezing, so don't use too much force when pulling the film outdoors, otherwise, the film will easily break.
If you are lucky enough to be a guest in a local family, you can try to eat on the kang, which is very interesting. If you sleep on the kang, you get angry easily. You should drink more boiled water and eat more fruits after getting up.
6. When walking in the snow and ice, your knees should bend slightly and your body center of gravity should lean forward, so it is not easy to fall.
The first is Harbin cuisine.
1. Harbin Sausage: Lin Qiu Sausage, Li Daosi Sausage and Roulian Sausage are the most famous, which can be bought in Lin Qiu Shopping Center and Nangang Fendou Road grocery store.

5. Authentic pot-stewed live fish: The address is on Hongqi Street. The facade is small and inconspicuous, but there are one floor and one floor underground, and the area is still not small. As soon as you enter the door, there is a fish pond with many big live fish, all of which are picked and slaughtered by the guests to ensure freshness.
6. Barbecue: It's all over the street, and everything is delicious!
7. Beer: If you eat barbecue, you must drink beer with Harbin! Hehe, I especially recommend a small bottle of beer, which is delicious!
8. Kill pork dishes, stew pork vermicelli, stew chicken mushrooms: If you want to eat, go to a small restaurant on the roadside. If you want to eat, go to a restaurant with strong northeast characteristics, such as the "bumper harvest" opposite Harbin No.3 Middle School. As soon as you enter the door, shout "Come again" (and, in Northeast dialect, guests are also invited), and many people will say "Yes". What a good mood!
9. Popsicle: Popsicle at Madill Hotel on Central Street.
10. porridge, at the end of central street, there is a two-story porridge shop at youyi road bus terminal. I forgot the name, but the porridge there is very good and has many styles.

The villagers opened a snack bar on the roadside to entertain passers-by who stopped to eat. Stewed tofu, vermicelli and carp in Wusuli River is a warm old practice of fellow villagers. Later, the practice of cooking spread like wildfire and spread all over the streets of the city. Harbin people say: If foreign friends don't like western food and northeast food, let's eat Molly stewed live fish.

The following is a guide for a Guangzhou girl to travel to Harbin during the Spring Festival. Please refer to.
Equipment: a jacket, a fleece sweater+a fleece sweater with double thermal function, two sets of thermal underwear, a fleece trousers, a pair of trousers, two pairs of polyester socks (although this material is not as warm as cotton, it is recommended not to use the latter, because wet socks are not easy to dry and airtight when snow gas permeates, and it is easy to get athlete's foot)+a pair of AmazTEK DuPont socks, professional hiking shoes (the most important thing is otherwise) It is easy to fall when walking on ice), scarf, rabbit fur gloves (inside) +Thinsulate waterproof thick velvet gloves (outside), and an open-top knitted hat that can be used as a scarf (when it is used as a scarf, it can cover your mouth, and when it is used as a mask, it is very windproof and snow-proof. Very practical)+a velvet hat (big enough to cover your ears-this is very important), a pair of snow covers, a pair of black super, necessary medicines to take out, plug-ins, headlights (in case you want to break into the outdoor bathroom at night in snowy areas), 50+ 18 liter backpack (its side pocket can be removed as an emergency bag, Cool), rain gear, energy supplement (vitamin C effervescent tablets, chocolate, beef jerky, vitamin C and vitamin B tablets can be added if possible), oral cleaning and refreshing products (both chewing gum and mints can be used), skin care products (water-locking oily cream-special moisturizing emulsion for promoting vaseline), which has helped me through the whole process. Sunscreen SPF25 is above 25, and lip care products-men are indispensable.
According to normal, it should be the plane of 16: 10 in the afternoon of the second day of junior high school. Because the plane took off from Guangzhou at 18: 00, we arrived at Harbin Taiping airport at about 10: 30 in the evening. We left through a travel agency (it is very convenient to buy a package ticket from a travel agency, but red-eye flights are inevitable). If you drive by car all the way, you can take the airport bus to the city center: location-the first floor of the airport terminal, and the downtown terminal is in front of the Civil Aviation Building (Bus Swan Hotel Station) at 99 Zhongshan Road, with an interval of 1 hour, which takes about 45 minutes and costs RMB 20 per way. Tel: 045 1-82896432, 828962. Because I didn't make preparations before, and it was too late, most hotels were full, so I decided to stay at the Jinlong Hotel (located in Stone Street, nangang district-if I remember correctly) chosen by the travel agency. The traffic is very convenient. There is a bus stop across the road, which can go directly to the central street and other scenic spots, pass by Harbin Institute of Technology, and there is Harbin Station in the distance. The room price is similar to other ordinary hotels in Harbin: the standard room is a little more than 200, which was full at that time. The five rooms we chose are Room 708 in 400 yuan, which is a big room with one hall and one room. The four beds in the hall have a TV, a sparrow table, four stools and two tables. One bed in the room is close to the bathroom ... There are still many empty seats, which is really frustrating enough to accommodate more than a dozen people (the beds are merged, the floor is paved ... there are many open spaces). The life of local people in Harbin is quite leisurely. From around 4: 00 pm, shops are closed (in winter, people may prefer to stay at home and sigh for warmth, not to mention holidays), and by 9: 00 pm, the streets are very deserted. Warehouse buying (local name for small shops), jiaozi shops, barbecue shops, bathhouses and guest houses can be seen everywhere (repeated almost every few meters). The local entertainment places in Karaoke are called KTV karaoke bars, but there are not many, not to mention bars and discos. Every store has heating, the door is closed, and the heavy plastic curtains are hung outside the door (this is my first feeling when I walked into the pork processing plant), which can keep out the wind and snow and keep the indoor temperature. If it snows heavily in winter in Harbin, the street will be a snowy romantic world. However, if it snows lightly, it is difficult to tell whether it is ice or snow on the street one week after snow, and the paint is dirty, so it is easy to PK if you walk carelessly.
It is best to get up before 7: 30 in the morning for breakfast. I wonder if it's because of the Spring Festival. The front desk of the hotel told us that almost all the snack bars on the main street outside closed after 7: 30, but we didn't open until 8: 30, only the porridge shop opposite was still open. We left the big luggage at the front desk of the hotel with a grain of salt, and then searched the street. If the door is closed, there is no way out, because time is running out (it's almost 9: 30, and most of the day will pass soon). Hungry, we finally stopped at that porridge shop at the suggestion of enthusiastic passers-by. The name of the shop has been forgotten. I only remember eating 10 yuan's breakfast: bread, noodles, millet porridge and black rice porridge. I think the taste is ok, but it's really too weak. I suspect that the store leaked salt. It is also said that Harbin is characterized by its massiness.
After filling my stomach, I immediately set off for Harbin Station to buy a train ticket to Mudanjiang at night. The bus lines that can reach Harbin Station are 1 1, 6, 343, 338, 8 1, 109, 89 ... We take the bus 1 1 from 2 Qian Yuan (bus We arrived at the terminal in less than half an hour and passed a long underground tunnel (many shops, the most impressive of which is Harbin sausage, abound, but they are all closed and only one row can be seen). Mudanjiang's is on the second floor, not many people. Tickets from the same province are also easy to buy. Hard seat tickets for 45 yuan/person (tickets will be purchased around 22: 45pm-just enough to see the world of ice and snow-ending at 22: 00pm).
