Going to Harbin on December 8th and 9th, please give me some tips

My family is from Jilin, and I have stayed in Harbin for six years. After deducting the time you spent on the round trip, I will give you a two-day tour plan in Harbin.

Detailed itinerary

First stop: Sofia Cathedral

Tickets: 20 yuan/person

Transportation: Tourists can take buses 1, 2, 13, 15, 64, 66, 113 and other buses from Harbin to Harbin. Get off at 100 or Fashion Building.

Play time: about 1 hour

St. Sophia Church is located at No. 95 Toulong Street, Daoli District, Harbin. It is a landmark building in Harbin. The church was built in March of the 33rd year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1907). It was originally a church built with the Russian army when the Fourth Infantry Division of Eastern Siberia was building the Middle East Railway. In the same year, the Russian tea merchant I. Fei Chisyakov funded the reconstruction of an all-timber church based on the military chapel. In 1911, a brick wall was built outside the wooden wall, forming a brick-timber church. The plan of the church building is arranged in a Greek cross pattern, which is influenced by the Byzantine architectural style. The main dome and bell tower also have the traditional Russian "tent roof" and "onion top" shapes.

The majestic Saint Sophia Church constitutes Harbin’s unique and exotic cultural landscape and urban customs. At the same time, it is a historical witness of Tsarist Russia’s invasion of Northeast China and an important relic for studying the modern history of Harbin.

Central Street

Second stop: Central Street

Walking directly from Sophia Cathedral to Central Street, it takes about 10 minutes to reach the southernmost part of Central Street head.

Play time: about 3 hours.

Central Street is one of the most prestigious Chinese streets. It was first built in 1898 and was originally called "China Street". It was renamed "Central Street" in 1925. It starts from the Songhua River Flood Control Memorial Tower in the north and ends at Jingwei Street in the south, with a total length of 1,450 meters and a width of 21.34 meters. Among them, the square stone road for vehicles is 10.8 meters wide. The architectural style of the entire street includes 71 European and imitation European buildings, and 13 protected buildings of Renaissance, Baroque, eclectic and modern styles. A small street contains the four most influential architectural schools in the history of Western architecture, and the most charming cultural development history of Europe for nearly 300 years. It contains the profound and long history and the broad scope of architectural art. His posture is rare in the world.

What’s amazing about Central Street is its pavement. The square stones used for paving the road are made of granite and are shaped like Russian buns. After hundreds of years of baptism, they are still so dense and delicate. The undulating, smooth and delicate rhythmic texture when you step on them is amazing. It feels comfortable, walks gracefully, and the road is paved with such art, which is rare in the history of Chinese and foreign architecture. It is said that in the old days, the price of a square stone was one silver dollar. It was truly a road paved with gold.

Central Street Pavement

On Central Street, there are many Russian shopping malls, Northeastern specialty shops, and Harbin red sausage shops. You can buy some special products while shopping and give them as gifts to your friends. It's pretty good.

There are many delicacies on Central Street, so take your time to taste them

Lunch will be done on Central Street. It is recommended not to eat at just one restaurant, otherwise you will not be able to taste many delicious foods. You can first go to Maomao Bacon at No. 56 Da'an Street to try their bacon burritos. The bacon is tender and cooked absolutely authentically. It tastes delicious when paired with the crispy flatbread. There are also Northeastern dishes, the pot bun meat is crispy, and the complimentary jujube water is also very thirst-quenching.

Remember, don’t order more, just taste it. One cake per person is enough, and then go to the next stop. Considering that you have already eaten pancakes, you can consider going to Huamei Restaurant to have a seat. However, for this restaurant, it is recommended not to go during meal time, otherwise you will have to wait in line for a long time.

After checking the information online in advance, the following dishes are considered their signature dishes: toasted bread (12 yuan/portion), canned stuffed mutton (32 yuan/portion), canned braised shrimps (32 yuan/portion) /portion), soft-fried salmon (30 yuan/portion), fried onion rings (20 yuan/portion), fried shrimp (36 yuan/portion), beetroot soup (10 yuan/portion), Harbin Beer Pure Raw (12 yuan/bottle). As for how much and what to order, it all depends on your appetite and taste. The legendary red cabbage soup is actually tomato sauce soup with some kohlrabi, which is cabbage, in it. I joked that I would make this soup for my family when I get home. If you are not full after coming out of Huamei Restaurant, you can also try the local dumplings at Oriental Dumpling King. The dumplings are all freshly made, and you can see the clerk's operation through the "transparent studio." The cucumber and shrimp dumplings are light and delicious. The aroma of cucumber brings out the freshness and sweetness of the shrimps. The three fresh dumplings are a must-try. The fillings are delicious and there is soup when you bite them. It tastes great. We also make Northeastern dishes. The golden roast goose skin is very crispy and the sauce skeleton is very generous. After going through this journey, it is difficult not to be full. If you have a really big stomach, you can also go to Laochang Spring Bake and Lucia Western Restaurant to pick out some specialties to try. However, whether you are full or not, there is one thing you have to try on Central Street, and that is Madier popsicles.

Century-old brand - Madier Popsicle

Madiel is an absolute time-honored brand on Central Street.

Madier Hotel, Madier Music Bar, Madier Western Restaurant, Madier Cold Drink Shop. These stores alone are enough to prove Madiel’s place on Central Street. Of course, the most famous one is Madier popsicles. It is said that more than 10,000 Madiel popsicles are sold every day on Central Street alone. I saw on the Internet that Madiel popsicles only cost two yuan each. Only when I got to Central Street did I realize that authentic Madier ice cream costs five yuan a pop. Have you eaten enough? Then I recommend the last thing to eat, which can help you with digestion, and that is candied haws. Harbin's candied haws on ice is so unique that you must have the courage to eat it. Because the candied haws on a stick that has been "tempered" by temperatures of more than 10 degrees below zero, on the one hand, it tastes harder, and on the other hand, it can make your whole mouth "ice" to the end. The feeling cannot be described in words.

Flood Control Memorial Tower

The third stop: Flood Control Memorial Tower

Play time: about 30 minutes

Go straight north on Central Street , the end point is a square, where the Flood Control Memorial Tower is located. It was built in 1958 to commemorate the people of Harbin who overcame the devastating flood in 1957. In 1957, Harbin City was threatened by a severe flood, with the water level exceeding the 1932 flood peak by 0.58 meters. The Flood Control Memorial Tower consists of a cylindrical tower body and an attached semicircular corridor. The tower is 13 meters high and the ancient Roman-style cloister is 7 meters high. It is harmonious and spectacular. There are 11 semicircular pools at the bottom of the tower, and their water levels are the highest water level mark in 1957. The reliefs on the tower depict vivid scenes of victory over floods. The top of the tower is a round sculpture composed of images of workers, peasants, soldiers and intellectuals, showing the heroic image of overcoming the flood.

Next to the Flood Control Memorial Tower is the famous Songhua River. The Songhua River is basically covered with thick ice in winter. Local people go to the Songhua River to play on the thick ice, and there are plenty of entertainment options.

Stalin Park

Fourth stop: Stalin Park

Play time: about 30 minutes

Stalin Park is a summer vacation on the Songhua River One of the places, facing Sun Island across the river. Built in 1953, it was originally named "Jiangpan Park". With a total length of 1,750 meters, it is a linear open park built along the embankment and water, covering an area of ??105,000 square meters. The park is centered on the Flood Control Memorial Tower, which imitates the Russian classical architectural style and the "five-color grass flower beds" spread throughout the park, as well as the "Swan Spreading Wings", "Three Young People", "Starting" and "Diving" distributed among the green spaces. Sixteen groups of art sculptures including "Dancing Sword" and "Dancing Sword" are famous at home and abroad.

Ice and Snow World

The fifth stop: Ice and Snow World

Play time: about 3 hours

From the Flood Control Memorial Tower to the Ice and Snow Dajijie can be reached directly by bus No. 29, the fare is 2 yuan, or you can take a taxi, which is about 29 yuan.

The Ice and Snow World was born on the banks of the beautiful Songhua River at the end of 1999. It is opened on January 5th every year. It brings together the essence of ice and snow art from all over the world and integrates the world's ice and snow entertainment into one park, integrating ideological, artistic, and appreciation. It combines sex, participation and entertainment, with magnificent scenes, majestic shapes and beautiful scenery. It is known as the magnificent "ice and snow epic picture".

Go to Harbin Ice and Snow World at night. The lanterns are all lit up, which is more beautiful. However, it is best to arrive before sunset. You can see the ice lanterns when there are no lights on display, and you can take pictures of the sunset and The scenery of ice and lanterns coexisted. I saw the sun setting in the taxi. The huge, fiery red sun was so majestic that you couldn't see it from the south. I could only jump in fear. In the short time after sunset, you can take photos of the deep blue night sky and ice lanterns, which is different from the inky black night sky later.

The longest ice slide in the Ice and Snow World is about 300 meters. Be sure to sit down and don’t think you are an adult. Experience the feeling of your mind going blank at high speeds.

Unforgettable Harbin food

Sixth stop: Late night snack

Location: This depends on your personal preference. You can continue to go to Central Street to find food. , I recommend Shixiang Skewers Workshop at No. 147 Anguo Street, Daoli District (next to Xinyang Road).

This is an old barbecue restaurant with affordable prices, about 35 yuan per person, and a full range of varieties. The sweet and sour pork ribs skewers are delicious and have endless aftertaste; the chicken necks in the hanging stove are also delicious, so you might as well try them Taste; the pimple soup is made of tomato sauce, sour and quite appetizing; the grilled mushrooms taste great.

A few people worked together to buy a bottle of each type of local Harbin beer, including special ultra-dry (12 yuan/bottle), 1900 Zhenzang (12 yuan/bottle), pure beer (10 yuan/bottle) Bottle), Wheat King (6 yuan/bottle), Special (4 yuan/bottle) and other 5 kinds of beer, slowly taste it, it is definitely a very pleasant feeling when you walk!

Maoershan Ski Resort

D2: Maoershan Skiing-Longta-Sun Island Snow Expo

First stop: Maoershan Skiing< /p>

Some people may ask, why not Yabuli Skiing?

I previously took a photo of Yabuli Skiing on Taobao, and it was only 60 yuan per person, including round-trip transportation + tickets + lunch + ski equipment. Later, I heard from a local friend in Harbin that the hidden consumption in Yabuli is relatively high. In addition, Yabuli is a 3-hour drive and only 2 hours of skiing time. A friend recommended us to go to Mao'er Mountain, saying that it is a place where Harbin locals go to ski. The 180 yuan includes transportation and ski equipment, and there are no other hidden costs.

The drive takes more than an hour, and the skiing time is 9:00-15:00, no time limit.

The actual situation is, as my friend said, there are no hidden costs in Maoer Mountain, and the skiing time is also very long. Most people’s legs will become weak after skiing for 2 hours. For safety reasons, it is recommended to hire a coach, which costs 180 yuan/hour. In addition, you need to bring your own instant noodles for lunch, which is economical and affordable.

Tips: Preparations before departure

1. Warm equipment

The winter in Harbin is relatively cold compared to the south. Harbin in February , the temperature is about -25℃ to -10℃, so it is quite necessary to be prepared for the cold before going. Therefore, warm equipment such as fleece pants, scarves, gloves, earmuffs, hats, masks, cotton socks, etc. are essential. If you have a ski suit or a jacket, it is undoubtedly a piece of equipment with high defensive power.

(1) Shoes: "The cold starts from the feet." From a warmth perspective, shoes are the most important. A pair of lightweight and warm shoes can make you feel warm all over. From an economic point of view, a pair of cotton shoes worth less than 20 yuan is enough. If conditions permit, you can buy ones with good warmth retention and a higher price.

(2) Clothes: They should also be lightweight. Ski suits are the best choice, as they are windproof and cold-resistant, followed by jackets and down jackets.

(3) Velvet trousers: If there are southerners who think they are more resistant to freezing and can avoid wearing velvet trousers, you are wrong. The cold in Harbin is a bit cold to the bone, so keeping your legs warm is very important.

(4) Hat: Very necessary. Although Harbin is not very cold during the day, it can still be windy and the temperature is low sometimes. Remember, hats are not only a woman’s right, but also a necessity for men. After all, the body is their own.

(5) Gloves: When going out to play, it is impossible to keep your hands in your pockets all the time.

When taking pictures and pressing the shutter button, posing, or carrying bags or eating, your hands will be in close contact with the cold air of Harbin. Therefore, gloves are a must-have item, and they must be gloves with good warmth. You will know it at night!

(6) Mask: If you are not afraid of your face being hurt by the wind, maybe a mask may not be so necessary for you. But for those XDJM who love beauty and tender meat, it is absolutely necessary.

(7) Warm baby: Prepare a few pieces of warm baby. After arriving in Harbin, you can stick the warm baby on the back, stomach, knees, and soles of the feet. Choose the number of places to stick based on the individual's degree of coldness and warmth. It is worth noting that the baby warmer should not be in direct contact with the skin. It must be directly attached to the clothes with separate layers of clothing. The heating and warmth effect is quite good.

(8) Moisturizing: The air in Harbin is very dry, and the humidity is generally around 20%. Therefore, moisturizing is very important. Some friends from the south will have nosebleeds after arriving in Harbin. This is caused by ruptured capillaries due to lack of drinking water. It's actually very simple, just drink more water every day and you'll be fine. It would be better for ladies to bring a lip balm.

(9) Prevent colds: Since there is a relatively large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, do not go outdoors when sweating or wearing few clothes, otherwise it is easy to cause a cold.

(10) Prevent frostbite: If you feel your hands and feet are frozen after being active outdoors for too long, you should move around immediately to speed up blood circulation and prevent frostbite on your hands and feet. If you find frostbite on your hands and feet, ears, or nose, do not roast it or wash it with hot water immediately. You should rub it slowly until it turns from white to red, that is, normal blood circulation is restored, and then use medication.

2. Round trip ticket

Since there are only two weekend holidays, the best departure time is naturally Friday night and return on Sunday night. You only need to stay in Harbin for one night. You can take the train directly to Harbin in one night and save on accommodation fees. You can buy a hard sleeper, soft seat or soft sleeper, depending on your personal financial conditions. Of course, it is best to buy a sleeper berth. Sleeping in it will not only save you the fatigue of long-distance driving, but also recharge your energy for the next day's travels. Specific trains include Z1, Z15, and T17 to choose from, and you can buy the return ticket together when buying a ticket.

3. Camera and battery

When returning indoors from cold outdoors, "condensation" will become a problem. Just like a beer bottle taken out of the refrigerator will have a layer of water droplets on it on a very hot summer day, the same problem will occur with your camera. The moisture in the warm air will condense on the lens and component surfaces, causing serious damage. So, to allow your camera to warm slowly, put the camera back into the bag before going back indoors. Before entering the house, place the buckled bag on a cool windowsill or unheated balcony for a few hours. , allowing its temperature to slowly return to the indoor temperature. Another method that is also very practical is to wrap the cold camera in a plastic bag. Moisture will condense on the outside of the plastic bag rather than on the surface of the camera body or components. Note that you need to use the bag to put the camera on outside the house, not after taking the camera indoors.

Digital camera batteries will lose power in severe cold conditions. You will find that your battery will soon run out of power. Bring a spare battery and carry the battery with you. Feel your body temperature with the dead battery. After a while, you will find that the battery is full again. Let me tell you a little secret. You can buy a thermal patch in a drugstore or supermarket and stick it on the battery area of ??your camera like a band-aid. Then you can enjoy photography without having to worry about the battery running out.

4. Hotel accommodation

Generally, you can go to the group buying navigation website, define the target city as Harbin, and then search for hotels, you can find many hotels in Harbin that are participating in group buying. , just find a hotel in Daoli District with a reasonable price and buy it as a group for 1 night. Remember to call the hotel 3 days in advance to reserve a room.

5. Tickets for attractions

Tickets for famous attractions in Harbin, such as Ice and Snow World and Sun Island Snow Expo, are still a bit expensive. The adult ticket for Ice and Snow World is 330 yuan per person, and the student ticket is 160 yuan per person.

Hope the answer is helpful to you! ! !
