Harbin Drug Group Pharmaceutical Factory 6
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

This is a great place to relax and unwind.China · Changchun

Harbin Sun Island Scenic Spot
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

Chagan Lake is divided into two scenic areas, and a combined ticket costs 68 yuan. One scenic area includes flower fields and other attractions, but you need to take a 20-yuan sightseeing bus to see everything. The other scenic area is 20km away. That scenic area includes the three attractions listed in the combined ticket.

It is said to be the largest in Asia in terms of area! It was under construction when I came here ten years ago... It is still expanding when I go today! It will be very large after it is completed! One corner of the scene feels a bit like the Forbidden City! Not many people

Chagan Lake is very big, and is most famous for its fishing activities every winter, which are broadcast on TV and can be called a wonder of the world. The only feeling when you go to Chagan Lake is that it is too big, and you can't see the end of the lake. Of course, after coming all the way here, you still have to taste the fish here. Whether it is really delicious depends on your personal preference.

I went to Songyuan Venice Water Park during the holiday. When I first arrived, I saw hundreds of people queuing outside to enter the park. I bought a ticket and went in. Let me first talk about the food and beverage inside. The best meal is spicy hot pot, which is very affordable at 18 yuan. Then let's talk about the amusement facilities. There are many indoor and outdoor projects. The most fun one is the big trumpet, which is super exciting. Overall, I am very satisfied with all aspects. I just choked on water a lot, but I was still very happy.

I was truly healed by the forest oxygen bar in this city.
✅ Goddess Square: The main landmark, with a musical fountain show on the hour ⛲️
✅ Reservoir Dam: The best viewing spot around the lake, a filming location for the movie "The World," absolutely stunning at sunset.
✅ Black Pine Forest: Tall, straight black pines reaching for the sky; a short walk along the wooden boardwalk after getting off the bus creates great photo opportunities.
The park is very large; I didn't get to explore the whole thing.

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.
