The night view is very beautiful.
The various ice sculptures are huge and the ice sculpture technology is superb. The scene is very shocking.
It is recommended to wear warm clothes to enter the park. Harbin is cold in winter, and it is even colder next to the huge ice sculptures!
Harbin ice sculptures, with their exquisite craftsmanship, magnificent dreamlike shapes and rich cultural connotations, have created a fairy-tale-like ice and snow kingdom that is fascinating and breathtaking.

It was a bit hot when I went there. The difference between the thrilling car and other rides is that you can feed tigers and lions. The price of feeding is 100 yuan for five pieces of meat. There is nothing else to do.
Very good, there are a lot of tigers inside, and I saw many tigers on the thrilling car ride. But you must come early, preferably before 9 o'clock, when the tigers are still active. The tigers at noon are all asleep and will not interact with you. It's useless. There are also little tigers, very cute, and it would be nice to take a photo with them.

Three adults and one child, including the elderly and young children, booked for three days and two nights. After comparison, we finally chose Jinhua. First of all, the humanized service is very good. The hotel housekeeper will contact you in advance to inform you of the local weather forecast and the hotel's various rights and interests every day. All questions will be answered. Secondly, the location is very good. You can walk to the water park, hot springs, lake, cute pet park, snack town, and there is a children's play area at the back door of the hotel. The children like it very much. The whole family decided to stay here next time. The trip was very pleasant.
I took the cable car back at the end of the day and waited in line for 10 minutes. It was said that it was too hot during the day, so I chose to take it when leaving Sun Island at night so that I could see the night view on the river.

Because it was the last day of the trip, I consulted the ticket seller there and bought tickets for the Polar Pavilion and the Ocean Pavilion. Because there were some conflicts in the show time, I chose the Polar Pavilion to watch the dolphin show and the beluga show. The dolphin show was about half an hour, and the beluga show was 20 minutes. The dolphin show was very average, and the beluga show was more beautiful and romantic. The walrus show in the Ocean Pavilion was also good. It’s just that the management inside the pavilion is chaotic, the signboards are not clear, and there are no staff to guide. I walked a lot of wrong ways in the pavilion. After watching the show, there was a lot of garbage on the seats, and no one reminded me to take the garbage out.
We went to the Polar Pavilion for a half-day tour. We arrived at around 9am and went straight to the Beluga Pavilion, which started at 10:30am. We arrived an hour earlier so there were more seats, but later there were almost no seats. It was just that the children had to wait for a long time, and they were a little impatient. The whole show lasted about 20 minutes. After the show, we went directly to the Sea Lion Pavilion to watch the 11:30 sea lion show. The Sea Lion Pavilion show is divided into 5 chapters, which lasted more than 30 minutes in total. This show was better. Then we visited some animals outside the venue. Now the single-theater ticket can be entered and exited for a month, otherwise the price of 198 is a bit expensive. The price of Shanghai Songcheng is similar, and there are more performances.

Not bad. It's all Russian architecture. Go there in winter. The main things to play are the big slide 🛝, spinning in circles, sliding, etc. It's mainly for taking pictures. Overall, I'm quite satisfied. If you mainly play, the cost performance is not very high
The overall scenery is beautiful, and it's very comfortable to walk around and take pictures. The ice cup feels average. If you want to experience it, you don't have to buy one per person, just buy one or two to try.

Harbin's Sun Island is like a bright pearl, inlaid on the bank of the Songhua River. When you first enter the scenic area, a vast expanse of green hits you, as if you are in a natural oxygen bar. The trees are lush and the branches and leaves are flourishing. The sun shines through the gaps and casts mottled light and shadows, bringing a touch of coolness to the summer.
Walking along the winding path, the crisp chirping of birds can be heard, and they jump on the branches, as if welcoming every tourist. Passing through the woods, the eyes suddenly open up, and a wide beach comes into view. The beach is delicate and soft, and children chase and play on it, and laughter echoes in the air. The Songhua River in the distance is sparkling, and several cruise ships slowly pass by, leaving white water marks.
The Snow Expo on Sun Island is even more amazing. Although it is summer, those exquisite snow sculptures are still lifelike, as if telling the charm of ice and snow. Each snow sculpture is carefully carved, whether it is a cute animal or a magnificent building, it shows the infinite charm of ice and snow art.
In Sun Island, I not only felt the tranquility and beauty of nature, but also appreciated the unique charm of ice and snow culture. Here is a paradise where nature and art are perfectly integrated, which makes me linger.
It was very pleasant to play in Sun Island for two days. There are characteristic homestays in the scenic area, and you can try Russian Western food or Northeastern cuisine for meals. Take the sightseeing cable car across the river and overlook the beautiful view of the Songhua River. Visit Squirrel Island and Bear Park during the day, and watch the musical fountain at night. Slow down and feel the nature and childlike fun. The accommodation is convenient, and you don't have to rush the schedule. It is comfortable and enjoyable.

Harbin Central Street is a century-old street full of exotic style. Stepping on the smooth breadstone road, it seems to travel through time and space. On both sides of the street, European-style buildings stand in rows, with Baroque magnificence and Rococo romance, which makes people dazzled. The dome of St. Sophia Church stands quietly in the distance, shining with golden light under the sun, looking solemn and solemn.
Walking through it, the Madiel popsicles on the street are a delicacy that cannot be missed. Take a bite, it is cool and refreshing, with a strong milky aroma. And the red sausage is fragrant but not greasy, and has endless aftertaste. The performances of street artists add a bit of agility to this old street. They either play cheerful music or use brushes to outline street scenes and pedestrians, attracting tourists to stop and watch.
Central Street is not only a street, but also an open-air architectural museum that carries the history and culture of Harbin. Here, every brick and tile tells the story of the past, making people intoxicated and linger.
The streets here are made of stone bricks and bricks, and Russian architecture records a tortuous history of the early twentieth century, which is worth savoring.

There are many projects and the park is quite large. The experience is very good when there are not many people, but there will be a lot of people queuing for popular projects, so you may only be able to play all the projects if you play in the park all day. Some very fun projects are not included in the package and require additional consumption.
The prices in the park are very expensive.
The unique gardens in the garden, "Beiyuan", "Yingyue Garden", "Xiaonan Island" and "Lilac Garden", are all charming and unique. Looking up, you can see towering trees that require five people to hug. In recent years, the ecological environment of the natural protection has been excellent, and flocks of wild mandarin ducks have settled in the park, becoming a unique landscape in Harbin.

The exotic ancient Greek-style architecture is very nice, and the performance is also wonderful. It is worth a visit. The disadvantage is that there is no hot water supply. It is very inconvenient to travel with the elderly. You need to bring enough hot water. Harbin Tourism should improve its service in this regard?
Poseidon Underwater World in Harbin is themed on ancient Greek marine mythology and creates an immersive underwater experience. The giant viewing window displays sharks, rays and other marine life, and the "Deep Sea Romance" performance with sound and light effects is quite impressive. The underwater tunnel is suitable for taking photos, but the dense crowds on holidays affect the experience. The facilities in some areas are slightly old, and the children's interactive area is interesting. The ticket price is slightly high, suitable for family travel, and it is recommended to avoid peak hours.
