Harbin, you make me feel unfamiliar

After going to Harbin, I found it was quite different from what I expected‼ Before leaving, I clearly did a lot of research, but I still stepped into every trap in the Northeast without missing a single one! I've summarized many small tips......... You can refer to them to decide whether or not to go. . 👻Warm tips: ⭕ Before booking a flight✈, remember to check the weather on that day. If there is heavy snow🌨 at Harbin Airport, flights may be delayed or canceled🛫 ⭕ Be cautious when shopping. Russian crafts on Central Street? Just look around, the Toulong Small Commodity Market is the best place for bargain hunting! Red sausage is a must-buy; Qiulin is famous, but Shangwei is more favored by locals. ⭕ Buy snow boots bigger, not smaller; thick socks are the key. ⭕ Bath scrubbing has hidden charges. Milk massage and salt massage are extra fees. ⭕ Northeast cuisine portions are large and affordable, don’t order too much to avoid waste; when trying specialty foods, pay attention to your stomach’s adaptation. - 🌈 Weather and dressing 🌨 November and December: temperatures range from -10 to 5°C, snow usually falls around the 10th. 🌨 January and February: temperatures range from -30 to -20°C, the highest snowfall of the year. 🧥 Upper body: base layer quick-dry shirt + thermal underwear + warm sweater + down jacket (with at least 250g filling) 👖 Lower body: thermal long johns + fleece pants + thick outer pants such as fleece-lined jeans or ski pants 🧢 Wear a hat + 🧣 thick scarf + 🧤 waterproof, warm gloves + 🥽 sunglasses or goggles (✨ White, blue, and red look great in the snow for photos ✨) - Must-visit attractions in Harbin: 1⃣ Central Street: experience a century of European continental style 2⃣ Saint Sophia Cathedral: landmark building, perfect for photos 3⃣ Sun Island Scenic Area: the city’s green lung, with a snow festival in winter 4⃣ Chinese Baroque Historical and Cultural Block: unique blend of Chinese and Western architecture 5⃣ Harbin Polarland: super fun, great for taking amazing photos.
