I've returned from freezing Harbin, and I really don't recommend going in April

Hello friends👋! Who says you can't visit Harbin in April? Avoid the ice and snow crowds and discover the healing spring romance hidden in this "Oriental Paris"! White doves at Saint Sophia Cathedral, the aroma of bread on Central Street... here's my complete guide👇 📍Harbin, Heilongjiang's "Ice City and Summer Capital"👏! In April, the ice melts, willow branches sprout along the Songhua River, and Russian architecture looks even more charming in the sunshine. Here you'll find the Baroque-style Chinese Baroque Historic Block where you can experience authentic Northeast bathhouse culture, plus countless hidden food gems - one dumpling or one smoked sausage will warm your heart~ 🚗【Transportation Guide】 ✈️Fly to Harbin Taiping International Airport, take the airport bus directly to downtown (about 40 minutes), or transfer via subway Line 2; 🚄Take high-speed rail to Harbin West Station/Harbin Station, then subway, bus, or taxi are all convenient! For city transportation, subway + shared bikes are recommended. Walking is perfect around Central Street to experience the foreign architectural atmosphere~ 🗺【Recommended Itinerary】 Day 1: Central Street - Saint Sophia Cathedral - Songhua River Head to Central Street in the morning!
