Siberia Tiger Park

Due to the deteriorating habitat of wild Siberian tigers, in 1986 the Chinese government established the China Hengdaohezi Feline Breeding Center (hereinafter referred to as the "Center") in Hengdaohezi Town, Hailin City, Heilongjiang Province, to protect the endangered Siberian tiger. This is China's first captive breeding base primarily focused on the off-site protection of Siberian tigers, marking the beginning of nearly four decades of captive breeding and scientific research on tiger protection. In 1996, to better protect these tigers, the Center established the Heilongjiang Siberia Tiger Park in Harbin. By developing the tourism and viewing value of Siberian tigers, it supports the protection, scientific research, and rewilding training of Siberian tigers through a "tigers support tigers" approach. Heilongjiang Siberia Tiger Park is located on the north bank of the Songhua River, covering an area of approximately 1.44 million square meters. It is a national 4A-level tourist attraction. Currently, the park is the largest captive breeding base for Siberian tigers in the country, with about 700 purebred Siberian tigers. It is a comprehensive enterprise integrating Siberian tiger breeding, scientific research and protection, science education, and tourism. The Siberian tiger, also known as the Amur tiger, is the largest living feline. Adult Siberian tigers are 1.2-2 meters long, with a tail about 1 meter long, and weigh 100-200 kilograms, sometimes reaching around 320 kilograms. They are mainly distributed in Northeast China and Siberia, Russia. The Siberian tiger has a large, round head with several black horizontal stripes on its forehead, often connected in the middle, resembling the Chinese character "王" (wang, meaning king). Its summer fur is short and dark, brownish-yellow, while its winter fur is long and light, yellow or pale yellow. Its back and sides have many horizontal black stripes, often two close together in a willow-leaf shape. Its ears are short and round, black on the back with a white patch in the center. The chin, abdomen, and inner sides of the limbs are nearly white, and the tail has black rings with a black tip. Its thick fur can withstand temperatures as low as -45°C. Siberian tigers inhabit forests, shrublands, and areas overgrown with wild grasses. They are solitary, have no fixed dens, exhibit territorial behavior, and are mostly active in the evening or at dusk. They have keen senses, are fierce by nature, move swiftly, and are good swimmers. They prey on medium and large mammals, and occasionally eat small mammals and birds. The Siberian tiger is a flagship species in the ecosystem and a nationally protected animal. With its unique majestic posture and presence, it brings people joy and the enjoyment of returning to nature. Protecting the Siberian tiger is a need for the harmonious coexistence and sustainable development of humanity and nature, and it is also a concrete manifestation of practicing the concept of ecological civilization construction.Harbin · 7.4 km from downtown

Harbin Sightseeing Cableway starts from Tongjiang Square in the south and reaches Sun Island Scenic Area in the north. It spans the Songhua River and is a well-known sightseeing means of transportation. The total length of the cableway is 1,156 meters, and the cableway bracket in the middle of the river is more than 70 meters away from the river. Riding in the car can overlook the panoramic view of both sides of the Songhua River, and the scenery is endless. Harbin Sightseeing Cableway is one of Harbin's key projects that was built and constructed with a huge investment in 1997. It introduced equipment from the world's senior ropeway equipment company, Austrian Doppelmayr Company, and ranks among the high-end international ropeways today. The cableway is adjacent to Stalin Park, the Flood Control Memorial Tower, and Central Street. It is like a jade belt that closely connects the two sides of the Songhua River. The ropeway is equipped with 19 fully automatic and fully enclosed 8-person high-end gondolas and 6 luxury gondolas. The gondolas have built-in sofas, bar counters and speakers, which are comfortable, elegant, warm and romantic. The ropeway runs at a speed of 1-5 meters per second, and it is fast and slow. You can enjoy the northern scenery and urban customs while strolling around, and the scenery "everywhere you go" is endless. So far, the ropeway has been in operation for more than 20 years, and its safety factor has reached 100%.Harbin · 3.3 km from downtown

A beautiful place filled with stunning ice sculptures illuminated by colourful lights. I had such a wonderful time exploring the place, although the temperature was extremely cold. However, getting a Didi ride back at night was very difficult, so I had no choice but to take the bus instead.

A great place for visitors of all ages, from babies to the elderly! The park is very family-friendly and offers a unique experience for everyone.The bus driver who took us into the tiger park was very professional and knowledgeable. You can even buy meat directly from the driver on the bus to feed the tigers, which makes the experience even more exciting!There are so many tigers in the park that it is truly impressive and almost unbelievable to see them up close. It’s a fascinating experience to observe these magnificent animals in their natural-like environment.Overall, it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Harbin. Highly recommended for families, animal lovers, and anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience!

After visiting the Tiger Park, we took a taxi to Sun Island and then prepared to take the cable car back to our hotel across the river. Since it was a weekday, there weren't many tourists, and we got on without queuing. When the cable car reached its highest point, the panoramic view of Sun Island, the Songhua River, and the city was breathtaking. We even saw a flock of seagulls! A trip to Harbin definitely includes taking the cross-river cable car at least once.

Wow! Be mindful of the season when visiting the island. This park isn't primarily for tourists; it's more popular with locals and residents. The weather is very important when you go, so make sure to check the weather forecast carefully, as it can get a little chilly. The park itself is quite large and has a Russian theme. The town also has a panda enclosure, which costs extra. The pandas are very cooperative; there are two in total, and they're incredibly cute. If it's not too crowded, the experience is fantastic.

Definitely worth a visit! Highly recommend the Polar Pavilion (six main pavilions, showcasing a wide variety of polar animals, including polar bears, Arctic wolves, Antarctic penguins, sea lions, meerkats, capybaras, flamingos, raccoons, etc.). Impression: Feminine friendly (specifically, there's an emergency phone number in the women's restroom). My unexpected period caused weakness, but thankfully, staff provided free sanitary napkins – a lifesaver! Thank goodness! Suggested improvement: Replace scented sanitary napkins with unscented ones. Many people experience allergic reactions to these, making the discomfort worse.

It's worth visiting both day and night, but the best time to go inside is during the day when there are musical performances. At night, enjoy the exterior lights. The entire square is quite beautiful, but at night, the lights of the surrounding buildings seem too bright, overshadowing the church and creating a sense of intrusion.
