Harbin Drug Group Pharmaceutical Factory 6 is an old factory complex in Harbin, now a popular check-in spot dubbed the "Louvre of Northeast China." The main building, completed in 2004 with construction and decoration costs nearing CNY 100 million, bears a striking resemblance to France's Louvre, blending classical, Baroque, and Rococo European styles. Its exterior features intricate three-dimensional carvings and reliefs, with columns, doors, and windows each showcasing unique designs, creating a majestic vista from afar. Inside, the scene shifts dramatically: layers of golden ornaments adorn the space, and a massive crystal chandelier cascades from the upper floors to the second-floor hall. The corridors display European oil paintings and sculptures, earning it the playful nickname "Versailles of the Northeast." The building also houses a printmaking museum, with multiple exhibition halls showcasing works by printmakers from Heilongjiang and across China, worth lingering over. Founded in 1977, this historic pharmaceutical factory was once famous for products like Gaizhonggai, Yandi, and Hutong. After relocating entirely in 2021, the old site lay idle until reopening to the public in 2024. Its "palace-like" complex quickly went viral, attracting over a million visitors to date, making it a flagship destination for industrial tourism in Harbin. For the best experience, enter through the northeast gate, explore from the upper floors downward, and don't miss the printmaking exhibits, corridor paintings, or the grand chandelier. The main building's frontal view is partially obscured by an overpass and heavy traffic, making full shots challenging, but the exterior carvings, ground-floor hall, and colonnades offer excellent photo opportunities for a leisurely stroll.China · Harbin

The Sun Island Scenic Area is a small island located on the north bank of the Songhua River in Harbin City. In the early years, the Manchu people fished and hunted here. The Songhua River is rich in squid. In the Manchu language, the pronunciation of this type of fish is very similar to the pronunciation of "Sun" in Chinese. It has been known as "Sun Island" ever since the name was passed down a long time ago. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Sun Island was developed and utilized as a naval battalion, and was later used as a base for the navy to reconnoiter and train. Today, the natural scenery of Sun Island is exceptionally beautiful, and the landscape inside the park represents a perfect interpretation of the harmony between humankind and nature. The island has plenty of European villa buildings, where the Russian people come to spend their summer breaks.China · Harbin

前几天刚去过,现在来评价一下。1,镇上没有网约车,只有出租车,而且价格超贵。2,没有好点的酒店,没有好点的饭店。3,破烂的街道,走路坑坑洼洼。4,没有亮眼的景点,总的来说很一般般。

This is a complete imitation of an ancient building, probably built by the locals to attract business. The scene of the year has long been gone. Legend has it that the two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, Huizong and Qinzong, were stuffed into a dry well and given food every day, so it is also called sitting in a well and looking at the sky. But if you think about it, you can know that it is impossible. At least, physiological problems are a big problem every day. Looking at the courtyard where they were imprisoned, it seems that the conditions are okay. But the words "Hundegongfu" made me smile coldly, which is meaningless.

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.

The weather wasn't great the day I went, so overall I'd only give it three stars. It would probably be much more beautiful with better weather. First, the scenic area isn't close to the city center, so it's very inconvenient without a car. It's quite large, and walking around can be tiring. Second, there are a few castles inside that are indeed beautiful, but that's about it. There's not much inside the castles. Overall, the ticket price is too high. The scenic area itself is okay, but considering the ticket price, it's not really worth it.

The Sun Island Panda House is clean and tidy, with spacious areas for the pandas to move around in. You can clearly see the pandas eating and playing. The ticket price is reasonable, and it's a great experience to bring your family. I would recommend it to panda lovers.

I've visited many 5A scenic spots, and this one was a great experience, mainly due to the staff. The bus ticket inspectors were very welcoming, greeting me warmly. Because it was the off-season, there weren't many people, and the driver, worried about missing my waterfall viewing, took the entire shuttle bus just for me – I was very touched. When I travel alone, I ask someone to take my picture, and if it happens, the staff will say "Welcome back next time" afterward – very thoughtful. With the recent popularity of Qing Dynasty dramas, this place recreates some scenes from Ningguta, which is quite interesting. Jingpo Lake itself is also very scenic, with a large body of water. The boat tour takes over an hour and is very comfortable!

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.
