Just got back from Harbin! If you want to travel with ease, you must read this
I've been longing for Harbin for a whole year, and finally, I'm here! I played for 4 days and went to all the basic places. I found that there aren't many places to play, 3 days are enough. So today I'm going to share a guide for easy travel and photography

🟢Travel Tips
1️⃣Any morning market is similar, no need to squeeze into Red Brick Street, ask the B&B owner or the taxi driver where there is
2️⃣Beach Tribe, sunrise and sunset are the most beautiful, sunset people are not allowed to shoot, sunrise is the most suitable
3️⃣Warm equipment must be put on the feet, the most important (snow boots, heating insoles, plus velvet socks). Thick autumn pants and down jackets on the body are almost the same
4️⃣Ice and Snow World line up before 9:30, enter the park at 10:00, rush to the big slide and then rush to the Ferris wheel, it's not worth it if you go late and have to line up for 3 hours
5️⃣Songhua River Railway Bridge ice project is the most cost-effective, 10 yuan once, play more happily, it is recommended to come before sunset
6️⃣Sophia Cathedral, there are only a few people before 9:00, the photo is the most out of the picture, but the lights are more beautiful at night, there are more people, recommend the morning, we waited for no one for one or two hours in the evening, freezing to death

✅About accommodation
❶The first choice is near Central Street, if it's too expensive, you can put the location near Harbin Station, Bund Wharf. The city is not big, it won't be too far wherever you live
❷I always like to stay at Atour Hotel when I travel, the service and quality are well guaranteed
🔸Compared with many other hotels, I still live in the Museum Railway Station Atour Hotel, which is near Harbin Station and more than 300 meters away from the subway entrance. It's only two or three stops to Central Street. In a place where the temperature is below zero, the heating in the hotel is very sufficient, even the mineral water sent by the front desk lady is warm, it's hard not to love
🔸Especially in Harbin, it gets dark at 4 o'clock, and the night is quite long. The rest space on the first floor of the hotel is full of books, it feels like a library, every book can be borrowed, I borrowed one before I left, and read it on the plane back to Guangzhou!! Prepare to go to other cities Atour next stop haha

There are many benches in front of the McDonald's facing the Sophia Cathedral, which can be moved. You can sit on the chair and take pictures, and there are similar corridor windows on the left that are very photogenic

After arriving at the Bund Wharf, walk to the main road, where you see the chair is where this photo was taken

There is a stone on the road opposite the Music Corridor, you can avoid the crowd and take a photo with the snowman

Harbin Songhua River Railway Bridge｜The romance of Harbin, half occupied by ice, half by sunset
🌟Highlights:
The Songhua River Railway Bridge🌉 was started in May 1900 and put into use in October 1901. The bridge was supervised by Russian bridge expert and chief engineer of the Middle East Railway Bureau, Lian Duo Fuski, and the construction was carried out by engineer Alekseyev.
The Songhua River Railway Bridge🌉, also known as the Binzhou Railway Harbin Songhua River Bridge, is decorated anew🌹 on major holidays.
📝Note tips:
1、Time
Summer time 9:00-19:00
Winter time 10:00-15:30
The best time in winter is 12:00-15:30, when the daylight is most abundant. Be sure to bring a telephoto lens for shooting on the bridge.
2、Camera position
After getting on the bridge, don't stay at the bridgehead, it's very crowded, you can continue to go to about the middle of the bridge, there are fewer tourists and you can shoot with confidence.
3、Warm tips
The location of the public toilet is right across from the bridge entrance, very easy to find.
Southern friends coming in winter, be sure to wear more clothes, bring gloves, the wind on the bridge is really big.
📍Detailed address:
East side of Stalin Park on the Songhua River, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province.
🚉Traffic strategy:
Take bus lines 26, 52, 83, etc. to Youth Palace Station and walk to the railway bridge.
🕙Business hours:
Open all year round, all day.

The little potato from the south, bravely exploring Harbin
Recently, Harbin has become popular. It's hard not to be. Because Harbin is too beautiful!
Everyone can rush in with confidence!
If you haven't had enough fun, come again next time!
We landed at dawn, and it was two o'clock in the morning when we arrived at Central Street, but the night in Harbin is super beautiful, walking on the street as if in a Russian street.
We chose to stay at the Home Inn near Central Street, where it is very convenient to walk anywhere, 10 minutes away from Central Street, and the Sofia Church is just outside the hotel, not far from the famous attractions, super convenient.
Cotton pants + warm + plus velvet sweater + plus velvet pants + plus velvet thick socks + long down jacket + snow boots, be sure to prepare hats and gloves, otherwise it will be very cold, scarves also need to be prepared, sisters who want to create a style can prepare a pair of sunglasses, it will look good when taking pictures in the snow!
You must go to Central Street, it's beautiful, and it has different beauty during the day and night.
Songhua River Bridge is super photogenic, it's best to go at night.
There are many people who check in at the Sofia Cathedral, and a casual shot is a big picture. There are also photo shoots. Sisters who are not afraid of the cold can consider it, and sisters who are afraid of the cold are not recommended.
Sofia Church → Daoli Market → Central Street → People's Flood Control Victory Monument → Stalin Park → Baroque Style Street → Old Daowai these can be played in one route.
We also went to many churches with different architectural styles, and you can walk around in a line, and a casual shot is a big picture.
The enthusiasm of Harbin, the unique spectacle of the Ice and Snow World, and the exotic Russian-style buildings on the street are definitely worth a visit, and a second visit! Harbin·Heilongjiang
