Find a spot with good lighting based on the sun's position for a perfect shot. p5: Walk to the Ferris wheel, and you'll find a small house with a big bow on top called KC.

Walk from the Temple of Heaven to the main tower, and you can take photos in front of the main tower. p7: 20 meters to the left of the Temple of Heaven, you'll find this ice wall. p8: In the back left direction of the Temple of Heaven, it only takes two minutes to walk there.

Choose any of them for photos. p10: Behind the castle, climb the stairs to the top of the castle, then walk to the back of the castle. Apart from the big circle, these spots generally don't require queuing and are easy to find. You don't need to be an expert in composition; placing the subject in the center looks great!

Before going to Harbin, I did some research on how to stay warm 🥶 and on hotels. After all, the heating is on the floor, so choosing a good hotel will make your stay much more comfortable. 🥰 For example, the floor heating can make the room too hot, so you need a big room with a humidifier, or else you'll be so dry you'll question your life choices. 😂 The hotel we stayed at this time had a beautiful room, and I can say it was my dream room. It was spacious, with two floors, and even had a swing, so you can swing around in the room. 🐸 We left the humidifier on all night, and our skin wasn't dry at all. 😸 It snowed that night, but the room was warm, and the temperature and humidity were perfect, so I slept like a baby. The next day, I woke up naturally, and when I looked outside, everything was covered in snow! ❄️ It was so beautiful!!! You can go out during the day, and when you get cold, come back to the hotel and take a hot bath. The hotel provides face masks and steam eye masks, so you can pamper your skin and eyes, and then get a good night's sleep. The next day, you'll be ready to go out and have fun again. 😁

🧥 [Harbin extreme cold weather dressing guide, no fear of -20°C to -30°C!] 1⃣ Heat packs are a lifesaver🌾, you can't have too many! Layer a down vest and wool sweater, then wrap up in a long down jacket weighing over 300g, and you'll be a walking polar bear🐻. 2⃣ Wear quick-dry or thermal underwear to lock in heat🔥. Wear super thick knee and hip pads, and your knees will be safe from the cold wind! Add thick sweatpants or fleece-lined pants to keep out the wind and keep warm. 3⃣ Keeping your head warm is also key. Ear-covering wool hat🧢, scarf🧣, sunglasses🕶️, don't miss any of them. Full protection, beautiful and warm. 4⃣ Wool socks with heated insoles are like a little sun in winter☀️. Put on a pair of big cotton shoes from the northeast, warm and stylish, and you can walk like a model in the snow. ❄️ [Snow viewing timeline, miss it and wait a year!] January is the best time to see snow in Harbin, with thick snow like a fairy tale world. 🏰 There are more and more tourists, so remember to plan your trip in advance to avoid the peak crowds. 🔹 At the end of January, although it snows less, the temperature is still around -20° to -30°, and the snow is still beautiful. ❄️ If you want to take beautiful photos, this is also a good time. ⚠️ [Harbin travel guide, must-see!] Tip 1️⃣: Don't plan a tight schedule, the cold in Harbin is no joke. 🥶 After about two hours of outdoor activities, you need to go back to the hotel or indoors to warm up, health is the most important thing! Tip 2️⃣: The Ice and Snow World is a must-see, but remember it is open from 11:00 to 22:00, and the most beautiful moment is when the lights are turned on at 16:00-16:30, as if you are in a dazzling ice and snow kingdom. 🏰 Tip 3️⃣: The food on Central Street is tempting, but expensive and the taste varies. 🍴 Unless you are particularly interested, choose carefully to avoid disappointment. Tip 4️⃣: When buying cooked food, taste it first. The char siu and pine nut sausage at Fendou are amazing! 🤤 Tip 5️⃣: When you come to Harbin, don't think about ordering takeout. 🍽️ Experience the hospitality of the people in the northeast, and be sure to get up early for breakfast at the morning market, that's authentic! Tip 6️⃣: Da Lieba is famous, but I really don't recommend buying it. 🍞 One can last a week, unless you plan to stay in Harbin for a long time. ✅ Finally, whether you are on a group tour or traveling independently, planning is the most important thing. 📝 We chose a local pure play group, which was worry-free and avoided many pitfalls. Although we heard a lot of negative comments before we went, which made us doubt whether Harbin was worth visiting. But after experiencing it ourselves, we really felt it was worth it, the scenery was breathtaking, and we hope everyone who goes will have a great time~🥳

. ➊Iconic big snowman In my mind, there are two places I recommend more: Yanjiagang Farm and Music Gallery~ I like the big snowman in Yanjiagang wearing the Northeastern flower coat better, it’s so cute~ ➋Frozen Yellow Rose Even Liu Yifei couldn't help but check in personally.

Even Han Dongjun and Yu Shixiangzuo have been here, and the ice sculptures here have their own beauty during the day and night, and they look great no matter how you take them~ ➍ Hengdaohezi Be sure to save a day to take the high-speed rail directly there.

It is very close to Sophia Church and Central Street. You can come in to keep warm when it gets cold. The salty and sweet perpetual motion machines are available. Try the sweet one and then the salty one. The dry-fried tenderloin is a five-star recommendation. There is always a line at their house. The pork sausage is also very fragrant. If you eat too much, you can have a can of Zhenzhen Lychee Soda, the first choice in Northeast China. Sure enough, every city has its own taste. Representative, what you don’t know is that Zhenzhen, which is popular in Northeast China, is actually a specialty of Guangdong! The eldest lady standing in line said that they have been drinking Zhenzhen since they were young. Everyone can try it if they come.

Just got back from Harbin ❄️ I listened to the advice of a local friend‼️ This Harbin ice and snow trip ❄️ Was full of delicious food 😋 fun 🎡 and great photo ops 📸 I can't stop thinking about it❗ So I quickly put together this 🧾 5-day, 4-night Harbin travel guide 🔖 Remember to save it 📝 - ❄️[Itinerary]❄️ - Day 1️⃣: Arrive in Harbin ➠ Diamond Sea ➠ Music Gallery ➠ Northeast Bathhouse . ❶ Arrive at Diamond Sea 💎 before 3 pm. The sunset at Diamond Sea is beautiful. ❷ After Diamond Sea, go to Music Gallery to see the big snowman ⛄️ and the night view. ❸ Experience the Northeast bathhouse culture 🛁 You can stay overnight. – Day 2️⃣: Hongzhuan Street Morning Market ➠ Central Street ➠ St. Sophia Cathedral ➠ Harbin Railway Bridge ➠ Window of Eurasia . ❶ There are many great photo spots 📷 hidden in the alleys of Central Street. ❷ St. Sophia Cathedral ⛪️ is beautiful, but there are too many people. I will post a photo guide on how to avoid the crowds. ❸ Window of Eurasia has a beautiful yellow castle 🏰 and there are fewer people here, so it's great for photos. – Day 3️⃣: Ice and Snow World ➠ Snow Miracle . ❶ Ice and Snow World usually lets people in before 9 am. After entering, take a picture of the QR codes for the big slide 🛝 and Ferris wheel 🎡 and remember to make a reservation in advance! Then go straight to the circular ice sculpture at the entrance for photos 📷! There are not many places to rest in the park ♨️ so remember to bring plenty of hand warmers and hot water. ❷ You can't visit the Northeast without skiing 🎿 This time I chose [Snow Miracle] ❄️ in the city. The temperature in the venue is comfortable 🌡️ and it is close to Ice and Snow World and the city center 🌆. There is a shopping mall 🏬 and a Northeast bathhouse 🛁 nearby, which is very convenient! – Day 4️⃣: China Baroque ➠ Volga Manor . ❶ Volga Manor is full of exotic architecture 🏰, with a large area, few people, many activities, and great photo ops 📷. I love it. ❷ Enjoy Northeast cuisine and take photos of the architecture at China Baroque. – Day 5️⃣: Harbin Pharmaceutical Group No. 6 Factory ➠ Unit 731 Museum ➠ Return . ❶ Harbin Pharmaceutical Group No. 6 Factory opens at 9 am. In addition to the grand architecture, there is a big snowman ⛄️ and two small Hello Kitty snowmen. The museum is magnificent, but there are too many people, so you can skip it. ❷ The heavy history is part of the city's heritage. See history with your own eyes. - 🏨Accommodation: You can stay overnight at a bathhouse in the Northeast, but I recommend choosing a homestay for the rest of the trip, as it is more convenient for transportation and you don't have to travel back and forth. Long-term rentals are also more cost-effective.

Changchun Ice and Snow World is really photogenic, but be careful‼️ 🚗～There is a special bus line, which can be taken at Changchun Station ❄️～You can bring a small ski mat, which can be used inside, and you can experience the ice and snow world by sitting on the road 🍽️～The prices in the scenic area are quite reasonable, so you don't need to bring dry food. The big sausage is CNY 6, and the oden 🍢 is CNY 3. The scenic area also provides a lot of hot water, so you can bring a thermos cup. The weather on the mountain is still relatively cold, so keep warm. Amusement items❄️The 1314 slide can also be said to be a human roller coaster, and the queue time is long. After entering the park, line up for this first, and there are not many other people. Remember to wear a mask, as there will be mud splashing on your face. There are also several themed ice sculptures, the twelve zodiac thrones, and snow caves are all great places to take photos. Finally, I wish you all a happy time and take great photos~

|Nanny-Level Guide to Avoid Queues The Harbin Ice and Snow World is about to open. Are you excited but worried about the long queues? Don't worry, here's a super detailed guide to avoid queues! 🌟【Order of Entry Matters】 1. Morning Session (Enter before 10:00): Head straight to the big slide after entering the park, and you can play within 1 hour! The trick is to queue for the rightmost slide, as there are fewer people and it's faster. Then go to the Ferris wheel, which takes about 10 minutes to ride, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the park. After that, stroll around the park and admire the beautiful ice and snow sculptures. Finally, go to see the ice and snow show at 16:00 or 19:00 and enjoy the visual feast. 2. Afternoon Session (Enter between 13:00 and 15:00): First, admire the ice sculptures and ice lanterns and take photos. Then go to see the ice and snow show and find a good spot in advance. After the show, go to the Ferris wheel when there are fewer people, and finally queue for the big slide. If there are too many people, you can also choose the snow tube slide next to it, which is equally exciting and fun! 🥶【Cold-Resistant Equipment Revealed】 Wear thick-soled, non-slip snow boots with wool insoles and wool socks to keep warm from the feet up. Wear a down jacket, sweatshirt or sweater, thermal liner, and thermal underwear on the upper body, and windproof and warm pants with cotton pants on the lower body. Accessories should be complete, including touch screen gloves, earmuffs, neck gaiters or scarves, and cotton hats. Bring a thermos cup to drink hot water at any time to keep warm. The park does not provide hot water, but you can try asking the shopkeepers. Stick warm patches on your phone, feet, and stomach, and wear a thick mask, or your face will protest! 🚗【Transportation and Ticket Tips】 The best way to get there is by taking Metro Line 2 and getting off at Ice and Snow World Station. Exit 3 is 50 meters from the ticket hall, and Exit 4 leads directly to the park. Of course, taking a taxi is also convenient. However, there are many people returning at night, so it is recommended to take the subway or take a taxi to the city center. The official ticket price is CNY 328, so remember to book in advance! 🎯【Recommended Must-Play Items】 The big slide is a must-try, with a 500-meter slide that takes 1 minute to complete, offering a thrilling experience. The Ferris wheel is romantic and dreamy, overlooking the night view of the ice city. The ice and snow show is beautiful, and the ice and snow sculptures are exquisite. There is also a snow carousel that children love, making you feel like you are in a fairy tale world.

For a southerner like me, if you want to play the projects, you have to enter the park as soon as it opens, otherwise, you will have to wait in line for a long time. If you just want to take photos and enjoy the scenery, you can enter the park at about 2 pm. It will be dark after a while, and the sunset and night view are also great. 2️⃣ Go to Hengdaohezi to see the village in the fairy tale. Overlook the whole village from the hillside, and you will fall in love with it. There is also a Siberian Tiger Park nearby, which you can visit if you like. 3️⃣ Go skiing. I went to Snow World, the largest indoor ski resort in Harbin. It is very close to the city and very convenient to get to. There are several ski slopes with different gradients, but it is very friendly to a beginner like me. If you like skiing, you can try it. It is a great experience. 4️⃣ Go to Diamond Beach to watch the sunset. Navigate to the Beach Tribe, and you will reach the Diamond Sea from the parking lot next to it! There are many people in front, so remember to walk more towards the sun, and there will be fewer people. Remember to arrive at 3 pm. 5️⃣ Go to Yanjia Gang Farm to see the most beautiful snowman. It is the most beautiful snowman in Harbin this year, no doubt. There are also many snowmen, which are very photogenic. It is very close to the airport. 🍔[Food + Entertainment] You must try Northeastern cuisine when you arrive in Harbin! My favorite is Northeastern dumplings and barbecue. You can also try Russian cuisine! In the evening, find a bathhouse to experience the bathing culture of the Northeast. Very nice! Travel tips: 👔Clothes: Long down jacket, cotton pants, hat, earmuffs, scarf, warm mask, thermal underwear, snow boots 📱Phone: The phone runs out of power quickly, so prepare a large-capacity power bank. I will visit more mountains and lakes, and see more vast stars and seas. I will keep traveling and updating!

Two giant snowmen, Jiabao and Yanbao, are here with their snake hats, one with a green scarf and the other with a red scarf, followed by the Snow King Army.
