Yabuli Ski Resort
As the earliest and most famous ski resort in China, Yabuli's hardware facilities are world-class. The mountain where the ski resort is located is the branch of Xiaoxing 'anling Mountain. Yabuli Windmill Villa Ski Resort, which was founded in 198s, was originally used only for the training of China ski team athletes, and was widely known for hosting the 1996 Asian Winter Games.
At present, there are many ski resorts in Yabuli Ski Resort.

The price includes ski gear and ropeway, but such as ski suit, helmet and snow goggles need to be rented separately. The charging standard can be found on official website. 2. Recommended punch-in attractions
Central Street
At first glance, there is no difference between this street and the pedestrian streets all over China, but it is the key to distinguish this street from any pedestrian street by exploring the historical buildings along the street.
The old name of Central Street is China Street, which is named after the China laborers who built the Middle East Railway lived here. In 197, when Harbin was opened for trade, Russian Jewish businessmen first smelled business opportunities and opened the first batch of firms such as Lin Qiu and Madiel here. Subsequently, expatriates from various countries also settled in this commercial street with their own foreign goods.
Today, the prosperity here is still the same, and the stores have been changed several times, leaving more than 7 old foreign buildings with different styles. Architecture lovers can explore one by one according to the protection cards, and photography lovers can take a travel photo of "pretending to be in Europe" in front of various exotic buildings.
Sunny days after snow or the first lights on the Central Street are the most wonderful time. There are often street music performances in summer. The enthusiastic Flamenco or cheerful accordion reminds people of Harbin's glorious past as a famous symphony city in the Far East. Several of the most popular old Russian restaurants also gather here to lead your taste buds to Russia.
The central street of the people of the world
At the end of 19th century and the beginning of 2th century, Harbin was not simply summarized by "Russian amorous feelings".
On the east and west streets with the central street as the central axis, there used to be multinational and multi-ethnic residents in Northeast Asia and Central Asia. On the west side of Central Street, Tongjiang Street, which is parallel to it, was formerly known as Paodui Street, which is also a Jewish settlement with Central Street. This street was once a concentration of Jewish community institutions, and the former sites of the new Jewish synagogue, the old Jewish synagogue and the hospital were all along this street. Gaoyi Street, on the west side of Tongjiang Street, was formerly known as Cossack Street because Cossack cavalry had been stationed there. At its intersection with Hongxia Street, there is a Tatar Mosque, which used to be the community center of the Tatar people.
On the east side of Central Street, all the streets start with the word "West" (west of Shangzhi Street), from Xitoudao Street to Xishiliudao Street, among which Xiliudao Street was once inhabited by Japanese, and was formerly known as Japan Street; Xiqidao Street has its old name Mongolia Street because Zhashaktu Banner of East Mongolia Zhelimu League once set up an office here. West eight Dao Street, formerly known as Koryo Street, was once a gathering place for Koreans.
Hagia Sophia
Hagia Sophia is one of the symbols of Harbin and the most exquisite historical building in Harbin at present. The church was built in 1932 and was once the largest Orthodox church in the Far East. I used to be a warehouse after stopping using it, and it was not until 1997 that it was restored to its current appearance.
However, due to historical reasons, the whole church has been demolished, and the original appearance of any church can't be found except mottled wall paintings and restored chandeliers. Now it is filled with Harbin Architectural Art Museum, and the exhibits are mostly graphic materials. If you are interested in architecture, you can use this information to find those old houses.
There are often various performances in the square of the church, including outdoor orchestra performances, especially when the lights are on at night. It's a 5-minute walk east from Central Street along West 12th Street.
The church was renovated on November 27 and reopened to the public. Visitors or citizens can enter for free after scanning the code in front of the Architectural Art Museum to make an appointment.
Stalin Park
The park is located at the end of the central street, next to the Songhua River, and is directly called "riverside" by the citizens. In the early days of Harbin's port opening, this is where the railway station along the Yangtze River is located, next to the Songhua River Pier. In 1957, Harbin suffered a catastrophic flood, and the flood prevention memorial tower in the center of the park was built for this flood prevention operation.
Jiangshang Club and Riverside Restaurant, which were built in 1927 and 193 respectively, are really old Russian-style buildings. They have been abroad for many times in Harbin-related movies and TV plays. After the river is frozen in winter, some ice and snow themed activities will be held in the park, and a "Happy Valley of Ice and Snow" where you can play ice games will be built on the river opposite the park.
Chinese Baroque Block
Now, surrounded by Nanxun Street and Jingyu Street, four streets from Chunhua Street in the west and Nansidao Street in the east have been transformed into Chinese Baroque Block. Nanerdao Street has been turned into a "gourmet street" with many century-old shops. Nansandao Street has become a "folk customs pedestrian street" and has become quite scenic.
There are many historic buildings in the whole area that are worth exploring. You might as well go to Laodaowai Tourist Center to get a map and visit them one by one. In addition, there are many beautiful historical buildings scattered from Toudao Street to Jiudao Street, such as Purified Hospital, Laodingfeng and Hendry Watch and Glasses Shop, which are all beautiful marks of the history outside the old road. 3, winter food recommendation
In addition to sausage and popsicles, bread is also worth mentioning in Harbin's special cuisine. Bread, a foreign object, was brought into Harbin by Russians and has become one of the favorite foods of local people. But the variety of bread types here and their foreign names always make people confused.
Leba: It's huge, solid in texture, rich in fermented sour taste and long in shelf life. Usually, a large Leba can feed a family for several meals. Leba of Lin Qiu Company has the longest history, and authentic Russian Leba can be bought in Katyusha. But it is not eaten directly. The authentic way to eat it is to slice it and steam it, and then spread it with jam or butter. If you just want to taste it, any Russian western restaurant can order one, and dipping it in red soup is also an authentic way to eat.
Leba Circle: Like a huge bagel. Using semi-fermentation method, it is smooth, shiny, hard, crisp and chewy. Leba circles used to be strung together for sale, but now they can be bought in Laodingfeng and Lin Qiu.
Shayike: A stout version of the baguette, with a moderate size, is usually the earliest variety sold out in the bakery. Authentic Shayike will be fermented with hops, which has a unique fragrance. There is always a long queue for it at the bread sales window next to Huamei's restaurant.
Trough bread: It is probably the most acceptable one. It is soft in texture, small in size and square, just like the bread stones on the central street.
