According to another data, Harbin topped the list of the most popular B&B destinations in China for the first time, and the number of B&B bookings in Harbin on New Year's Day in 2024 increased by 27 times compared with that in 2023. According to statistics, on New Year's Day holiday, the number of tourists received by Harbin Central Street reached 6.5438+0.98 million.

There is snow and ice every year. Why is Harbin particularly round in the winter of 2023? From the many videos and messages of "Little Potato", the enthusiasm, sincerity and even spoil of Harbin people may explain a thing or two. Some people describe Harbin as a grandfather at home. He is usually calm and taciturn, but when the children come home, they will offer delicious, delicious and fun entertainment for fear that the children will not like the trip. Focus on a "small potato" that is rare in our hometown in Northeast China, no matter where you come from.
