Ice and Snow Fantasy Palace

Harbin Ice and Snow World is a must-visit amusement park in winter! Every year from December to January, the whole of Harbin is immersed in the fantasy world of ice and snow. At night, the Ferris wheel and colorful lights are super shocking and enough to take pictures. Ice sculpture architecture, giant slides, light and shadow shows, both adults and children have a lot of fun. The transportation is very convenient. The subway leads directly to Songbei Avenue, so you don't have to worry about traveling. Recommended tour routes: It is recommended to stay one more day to experience from morning to night. There are fewer people in the morning, so you can slowly enjoy the ice sculpture works and take photos, and visit the Harbin Ice and Snow World Fantasy Ice and Snow Museum to feel the indoor ice and snow art. At noon, you can go to the park food area to replenish your energy and warm up with a hot winter drink. Make an appointment in the afternoon to play the giant slide. Remember to use the WeChat applet to queue up and make a reservation. You don't have to wait so long. Return to the park in the evening, the lights are the same as the ice statue wonderland at night, the Ferris wheel must be sat once to see the whole park night view. Must-play items: 1. Giant Ice Slide - There is a designated queue system, make an early reservation without fear of missing 2. Ferris wheel - must-do photo under night lights, visual shock 3. Fantasy Ice and Snow Pavilion – an indoor ice and snow exhibition for those who don’t want to be cold for too long 4. Light and shadow show - evening venue, feels fantastic, super suitable for photography Check-in spot: - Ferris wheel night view - Giant ice sculpture (with world-class ice architecture, different designs every year) -Lighted corridors and ice skating areas - Architectural visions illuminated by various fantastic lights Attraction tips: 1. Tickets are recommended to be purchased in advance using trip.com or WeChat applet to reduce queue time on site 2. Access to the park is best to visit from late November to January, February depending on the weather, some facilities may be closed due to melting ice and snow 3. Equipment must be worn thick enough, down jacket/thick jacket, socks, hat, gloves, snow boots are recommended for easy activity and warmth 4. The hot drinks in the garden are really delicious, you can try more specialty drinks 5. There are restaurants in the scenic area 6. A day is basically enough, no need for a guide, it is very convenient to walk on your own Notes: - The park is more crowded, especially on weekend evenings, and it is recommended to avoid peak periods - It is not advisable to bring too many handbags or large items for outdoor movement - Pay attention to the battery of your phone, it is easy to run out of power in cold weather, it is recommended to bring a power bank Harbin Ice and Snow World is not only a photo spot, but also a great place to experience the northern winter style and ice and snow art. It is definitely worth a visit! Topic: #Harbin Ice and Snow World #Ice Sculpture Architecture #Ferris Wheel Night View #Winter Photo #Northern Travel

Harbin, this exotic ice and snow city, always a place to yearn for! This time, I'm sharing an authentic winter Harbin itinerary with you, covering Central Street, St. Sophia Cathedral, and must-try landmarks like Madier ice cream and Russian cuisine. Staying near Central Street not only offers convenient transportation but also allows you to easily enjoy a "food, photo opportunities, and shopping" triple combo right outside your door, making it the best choice for your Harbin trip. Itinerary Highlights: Harbin's Selected Landmarks Central Street: Our first recommended stop is Central Street. After checking into your hotel, head straight there. This century-old street is the soul of Harbin, with its European-style architecture and dazzling lights at night, making a stroll through the streets feel like stepping into Europe. A plethora of street food options await: the famous Madier ice cream shop (address: 1st & 2nd floor, Harbin West Railway Station, Tieshun Street, near Lao Ding Feng) is a must-try for its authentic ice cream, popsicles, and yogurt. The smooth, creamy texture is irresistible on a chilly day! St. Sophia Cathedral: A must-see landmark. The cathedral's exterior is magnificent and incredibly photogenic, especially at dusk. For a more ceremonial feel, rent local costumes and hire a photographer. The backdrop of the Western-style architecture at night will create truly stunning photos! Address: No. 88, Toulou Street, Daoli District, Harbin. Opening hours: 08:30-17:00, open year-round. Madier Western Restaurant: For dinner, we recommend the Madier Western Restaurant at the Madier Hotel (St. Sophia Cathedral Branch) on Central Avenue, Harbin (Address: No. 89, Central Avenue, near West 8th Street). A long-established Western restaurant, offering classic Moscow salad, borscht, pan-fried salmon, and dishes like lamb and shrimp stew—each dish is brimming with Russian flavor and generous portions. Sometimes there are live music performances, creating a romantic atmosphere perfect for taking atmospheric restaurant photos. Even at night, the restaurant's lighting and surrounding scenery evoke the feeling of a Harbin winter night. Travel Tips 1. Choose a hotel near Central Street. It's within walking distance of major restaurants and attractions, saving travel time and making it easy to put on and take off your coat when returning to the hotel. 2. I highly recommend buying plenty of warm clothing in Harbin, especially hats, scarves, and gloves. The northern winds are quite cold. 3. For unique portrait photos, contact photographers and costume rental shops near the church in advance. Various Russian-style or winter-themed outfits are available. 4. Madier ice cream is famous, but there are long queues in winter. If you're worried about the cold, try the small pudding or hot yogurt, which are also authentic. 5. Central Street features street music and light shows at night. Remember to allow time to stroll around and buy souvenirs from the unique shops. How to Get to Harbin: If you're departing from Jiangyin or other cities, I recommend flying directly to Harbin Taiping International Airport. From the city center, it's about a 30-minute taxi or Didi ride to Central Street. Transportation is very convenient. #HarbinMustVisitAttractions #WinterVisit #RussianFood #CentralStreet #TravelOutfits
