Normally, people like to visit during November - March because during this time, Harbin will be covered in white snow all over the city. There is also a snow and ice festival to enjoy along with various activities to have fun throughout the winter. The architecture of the buildings in the city is similar to that of Moscow or Paris. It is also known as the 'City of Ice' because it has a long and very cold winter. The lowest temperature is -40 °C. It can be said that it is so cold that it can reach the heart. We have been there and it was very cold, but it was so cold that we want to recommend it to our friends to travel together. 📌Harbin travel plan Day1 -Volga Manor -Harbin Ice and Snow World Day2-Day3 (Travel time from Harbin to the village is about 5-6 hours) -China Snow town Day4 -Harbin music park -Sophia Cathedral -Zaolin Park -Zhongyang Street Details of expenses for the entire trip per person -Round-trip airfare Bangkok-Harbin 9,915 baht -Accommodation on Zhongyang Road for 4 nights 3,000 baht (Super8 Hotel) -Accommodation in Snow Village 2,200 baht -Round-trip transportation to Snow Village approximately 980 baht -Entrance fee to Snow Village with bus 588 baht -Entrance fee to Ice and Snow World 1,608 baht -Entrance fee to Volga Manor 824 baht -Taxi fare for the entire trip 1,600 baht.

Harbin/2011.3 In March that year, Harbin wasn't that bustling We walked from Central Street all the way to the Songhua River Crossing the railway bridge That's Sun Island The memory of Harbin at that time Seems to be the season when green and yellow do not connect, the Zhaolin Park where the ice lanterns are falling The always bustling Central Street at night And the railway bridge that I regret not stepping out Of course, there is also the bowl of scallion oil noodles from Heilongjiang University...

This year's 50th Ice Lantern Art Festival, themed 'Colorful Ice Lanterns, Pursuing the Asian Winter Dream', adheres to the principles of 'inheritance, quality, and public welfare'. It has constructed large-scale ice and snow landscapes, ice and snow activity facilities, and 280 ice sculpture artworks within a planned area of 8 hectares, creating a public ice and snow amusement park with unique ice and snow art characteristics and widespread public participation. Ice sculpture artists from all over the world gather here. Not only are there beautiful ice sculptures of various shapes and colors, but also novel and interesting DIY ice sculpture experiences, as well as the stunning International Ice Sculpture Competition. It allows tourists to appreciate the beauty of ice lanterns, taste the charm of ice sculptures, and experience the fun of ice and snow while having fun, touring, and playing. Different from the romance and shock of the Ice and Snow World, the ice sculptures in Zhaolin Park bring the beauty of finely crafted individual ice sculptures. You must check in the national ice sculpture professional competition works in the middle of the park. Ordinary ice blocks are polished by each ice sculptor to bloom the unique style of the ice city. The park is very lively, with several small slides and small ice rinks, and there are not a few people in line, giving a feeling of returning to childhood. 🌟Tickets: Free admission 🌟Opening hours: Daily 10: 30-20: 30 🌟Address: 41 Forest Street, Daoli District, Harbin 🌟Transportation: Bus 118, 101, 103, 16 🌟Photo Tips It is recommended to enter the park half an hour before sunset, not only can you take pictures of crystal clear ice, but also colorful ice after sunset. ⭐Dressing suggestions Wear more, hat + gloves + scarf, all put on. You can take it off when taking pictures, but not when you are walking around. When the temperature is below -15 degrees Celsius, wrap it up tightly, especially protect your fingers, it is easy to freeze. This year's ice lanterns in Zhaolin Park are more and more exquisite than in previous years. When I came to see them in previous years, there were only a few sparse ones. Therefore, friends who come to Harbin must not miss it. These are all award-winning exquisite ice sculptures, worth a personal check-in!

#harbintrip Lovely gardens and park land set in the middle of Harbin. The gardens are free to enter and you can spend anywhere between 10 minutes and half the day in there. It is a good place to sit and enjoy yourself. There are also boats that can be rented and a children's amusement park- both of which require money. The park also contains some small animals in cages for children to feed.

①Sophia Church is very worth visiting. I went to see it in the afternoon and then went to the Dali market across the street. When I came out, it was dark and the lights were on. The church is extremely beautiful after lighting up. The photos are all taken directly with the original camera and they all look good. ②Central Street. There are many snow sculptures, ice sculptures and various colored lights on the street. The fridge magnets in the Central Bookstore are 20 yuan each, no need to queue. There are plenty of food and shopping options. ③Zhaolin Park🏮. You must go. The ice sculptures inside are like works of art, extremely beautiful. I was lucky to go on New Year's Eve when it was open and free. ④731 Troop Crime Evidence Exhibition Hall. As a Chinese, you must go. When I went there, I happened to encounter a research explanation, which made me even more angry. The simulated wax figures inside can resonate more. ⑤Songhua River Cableway. The cableway is beautiful, but be careful about the queue. We queued for four hours. You need to queue on the first, second and third floors. If your plan is tight afterwards, you need to consider it.❗❗🚨Facing the direction of Sun Island, the sunset atmosphere is stronger. Facing the Swan Castle, the light is brighter.🚨❗❗ We bought a one-way ticket. After getting off at Sun Island, we went directly to the subway station and arrived at the Ice and Snow World in one stop. On the way to the subway station, you will pass a big bridge with a beautiful sunset (you can't take a taxi, you can only walk to the subway station because cars are not allowed to enter the scenic area) (If you want to buy a round-trip ticket, you also need to consider it, because if you get off at Sun Island and want to come back, you need to queue again. ⑥Ice and Snow World. The iconic buildings are recommended to be photographed during the day, and the rest are queued for shooting at night. ㈠Ferris wheel. When we were in line, there were more than two thousand people in front of us. It takes about an hour to get to the front. ❗❗🚨Highlight, you must sit on the right side of the door. You can't see anything on the left, so the scenery is all on the right.🚨❗ ㈡Ice Ha Show. When we went at five o'clock, the eight o'clock show was full. If you want to watch it, you must go early. There is also a car show next to it, which is also very good. ㈢Food court and warm drink house. There are a lot of people, but the variety is okay. You can queue up and find a seat. 🚨Here comes the key point again🚨 Girls must go to the toilet in advance. It is possible to queue for more than an hour. Boys don't need to queue. ⑦Music Corridor (Big Snowman). If the distance is not particularly far, it is recommended to take a taxi because it is not close to the subway station (there is also a free big snowman across the street, where you can also slide snow rings). ⑧Harbin Pharmaceutical Factory No.6 🚨The shooting location is under the bridge opposite Harbin Pharmaceutical Factory No.6. Pay attention to the traffic flow. There are many cars, please pay attention to safety. ⑨Baroque Style Street. Most of it is under renovation, but the main street is still very beautiful. The main feature is catering, most of which are local specialties (we ate the pot-stewed meat recommended by the taxi driver at Zhang Bao Shop, which was delicious).

Harbin is too hot this year, friends who don't want to go to the crowded Ice and Snow World can choose to see the ice lanterns in Zhao Lin Park not far from Central Street. The park is not big, there are many ice sculptures, ice lanterns, snow sculptures, ice slides, disease mazes... Adults and children can have a lot of fun. When I went, the lights were on at 4:30 in the afternoon, it is recommended to enter the park at 3:30-4:00, play amusement projects during the day to see the details of the ice lanterns, and see the dreamy ice lanterns at night.

#harbintrip #vianasjourney #awesomepic Zhaolin Park is located in Central of Harbin, about 10 minutes walk from Sophia Church, it’s also nearby the Songhua River. During winter, plenty of sculptures are made for decorations. The pond around the park is frozen and children can play on it. The snow slide is one of the most played activity by the kids. For those who are on budget, this is definitely a place for you to consider, it’s gives the vibes of ice and snow world but you don’t even have to pay for entrance fee. Toilet are available in the Park, makes it more convenient for visitors.
