The best time to travel to Harbin

Harbin is a this beautiful city in the northeast of China, which is famous for its ice and snow culture and European customs. To make the best travel route, we need to consider the following aspects:

Determine the travel time: The best travel time in Harbin is winter, especially from December to February, when you can enjoy the spectacular snow and ice landscape. If you travel in other seasons, you can choose summer, when the temperature is suitable, and you can visit parks and scenic spots in Harbin.

Determine the number of travel days: determine the number of travel days according to the individual's time schedule and budget. Generally speaking, a 3-5-day trip is more suitable, and you can fully visit the main attractions in Harbin.

Make itinerary: Make detailed itinerary according to the number of days of travel. First, you can arrange a day to visit Central Street, the most famous pedestrian street in Harbin, with many European-style buildings and shops. Then you can visit Hagia Sophia Church, which is one of the most famous buildings in Harbin and a symbol of Harbin. Next, you can visit the World of Ice and Snow, which is the main venue of Harbin Ice and Snow Festival, with all kinds of exquisite ice sculptures and snow sculpture. If you have time, you can also visit Sun Island, which is a beautiful island with many outdoor activities and attractions.

Try local food: There are many famous foods in Harbin, such as Russian barbecue, Harbin sausage, ice cream and so on. During your trip, you must try local specialties and experience the unique flavor of Harbin.

Pay attention to transportation and accommodation: when making travel routes, we should consider transportation and accommodation. Harbin has a well-developed public transportation system, so you can choose to take the subway, bus or taxi to various scenic spots. When choosing accommodation, you can choose hotels or homestays according to your own budget and needs.

In short, making the best travel route needs to comprehensively consider travel time, days, itinerary, food, transportation and accommodation. Through reasonable planning and arrangement, you can make your trip smoother and more enjoyable.

DAY1：

1. Central Street

As soon as I got off the bus, I felt the unique cold in the north, and Harbin couldn't stand it without wearing more outdoor clothes. Central Street is a must-punch. As a famous scenic spot in Harbin, there are many people. Go all the way, and when you see a favorite store, go shopping and buy it. It takes almost half an hour to walk the whole street. There are many European-style buildings, and we arrived in the afternoon. The sunlight reflects the sparkling buildings, blending classical and romantic customs, and the scenery different from the mainland is really beautiful. There are all kinds of ice sculptures, just like entering some kind of dreamland. I heard that there will be a violin performance starting at 7 pm.

You can see the flood control memorial tower not far ahead.

2, Songhua River

We went to the Songhua River before the sun completely set, and we were very excited to go to places that we have heard about for countless times but have never been to. But I really need to wear more clothes. Halfway through, I feel the wind on the river is extremely harsh. The Songhua River under the setting sun is also very beautiful. Dinner was a local restaurant we randomly chose on our way back. The food in Harbin is really good, which is different from the mainland taste. The northern part is very heavy, so we should order as much as we want.

3. Ice and Snow World

If Harbin has a place to go, it must be the world of ice and snow! Standing in all kinds of ice sculpture buildings, it seems to be in the world of right travel. Under the light at night, every ice sculpture has its own color. If friends who come here specially for this purpose should pay attention to the time, it will not open until the end of December. I heard that Harbin will build the largest ice and snow world in history this year. Don't miss it!

4. Sophia Church

Sophia church is the landmark of Harbin, and the explanation will explain a lot of local culture. The church is very beautiful, and it is full of historical charm when you walk in, and the photos are very good. There are many little pigeons nearby! Everyone in 15 yuan. In addition, the work and rest in the northeast is very different from that in the south, and it is very early when it is dark and dawn. If you want to play more scenic spots, you should get up early to avoid being late and not having fun.

Harbin has no outdoor nightlife in winter! Nightlife is basically in the bath center, and it is also very good to feel the bath culture in the north! Just wash away the fatigue during the day.

DAY2：

1. Xuexiang

The first thing to do when we get up is to eat the morning market that we didn't go to on the first day. We went to the morning market on Central Street, which was really full of beautiful things to eat. For me who have never felt the morning market in the north, it has simply opened the door to a new world. In the afternoon, we went to Xuexiang, which has been very popular as the shooting place of Where is Dad? The fare is 120 per person. There are many ornamental activities in Xuexiang, watching ice and snow shows and experiencing different winter charms. When you are tired, you go to the hot springs, and the whole person is comfortable, enjoying the snow outside, and the comfort in winter is nothing more than this.

We chose to go to Xuexiang by bus. Tickets are purchased from the only official bus "Longyun Travel" applet. Tickets are checked four or five days before departure, and tickets are purchased as soon as they are available. The fare is 120 for one person. Arrive at the designated boarding point around 8:30 on the day of departure. It's on the central street. It's easy to find. It takes about 5.5 hours to drive at 9: 00.

In Harbin, you can see the open and inclusive atmosphere and multi-culture of the whole city. Harbin people are also very warm and friendly, with the cheerful and humor of northerners.

DAY3：

1. Harbin Museum

On the third day, I punched in the Harbin Museum and made an appointment in advance for free admission. I've been to many museums, and this is the first time I've seen such a big museum. There is an exhibition on each floor, including oil paintings, prints, sculptures, clocks and watches, ceramics, images and development history, which can be seen for a long time. It is recommended to print and watch museum, which is worth visiting. It's closed on Monday and you can't enter at four o'clock in the afternoon. After coming out, I went to see the music gallery. The huge snowman was particularly beautiful.

2. Ice Lantern Park

In the evening, we heard that there was a lantern festival in the Ice Lantern Park, so we took a taxi directly. It's really lively, and different lights look dazzling. Have some snacks, and the atmosphere will be wonderful.

1. The first choice for the return trip of scenic spots is to take a car online, which is cheap and easy to take orders.

2. Families in the south prefer airplanes. Other modes of transportation take a long time and are uncomfortable. It is more affordable to choose to land in Harbin, and the high-speed rail may stop because of the weather.

(ps: The bus at Harbin Airport is very convenient and will operate until the end of the flight, so going to the city bus is the best choice, and taking a taxi will get stuck.)

3. Taxis in Harbin, as well as black cars at the airport, are relatively pitted. It is very expensive to live at the airport first! Songbei District, Daoli District, near Hasi, the price is affordable, and it can be determined according to the scenic spots and itinerary.

4. Tickets for Xuexiang can enter the park for the second time within 48 hours. Accommodation in the scenic spot is convenient. If you don't consider the price, you can live in luxury. The night view is beautiful ~

5. The distance between the popular scenic spots in Northeast China is very far, and it is about 300 kilometers from Harbin to Xuexiang. It is not recommended to drive by car, and it is dangerous in snowy days.

1. You must go to Harbin without snow boots! Prepare a pair of warm shoes, and girls who are afraid of cold can also bring their own heating insoles.

Although there is heating in the north room, you should wear more clothes inside when you go out for a long time, such as going to Central Street. Sweaters and bottoming clothes are necessary, and a down jacket is added outside, which is enough to withstand the cold wind and heavy snow in Harbin.

3. The northeast is dry, remember to bring body lotion with better moisturizing.

1. Attractions in the urban area: Hagia Sophia, Central Street, People's Flood Control Victory Monument, Stalin Park, Gogol Street, Chinese Baroque Street and Volga Manor. You can choose your favorite play in this order.

2. I'm going to buy Russian crafts and go to Toulong near Hagia Sophia. Central Street is very expensive.

3. Harbin Mala Tang, both old-fashioned and not old-fashioned, is recommended to try. Pot-wrapped meat and pot-stewed meat in the Northeast restaurant must be eaten. Try Russian food in Europa, Kuzmin, Laoheqiao and Songpu. Li's North Three Casserole Smoked Sauce and Yangshunzhai Copper Pot Braised Meat Golden Time, Mrs. Xiaozi, Wandashan Ice Cream, and 5 pieces of Mattel Popsicles are all very delicious.

Harbin is a very suitable city for winter tourism, with low price, beautiful scenery and high cost performance. But it is also easy to be cheated. It is recommended to sign up for a group, which will save money and peace of mind. Many tour guides are local girls, and the route planning is very comfortable. It is a treasure winter tourist destination!
