Zhaolin Park

Harbin's Zhaolin Park is a century-old park. It was renamed after the Liberation War in memory of General Li Zhaolin, a hero of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The park is quite large, but unfortunately, Harbin owed its snow fee, so there wasn't any snow. Without snow and ice sculptures, Zhaolin Park wasn't particularly impressive. I've heard that the park will be open for ice sculptures on New Year's Day, making it a popular spot for Harbin residents to enjoy the lanterns. The price is half the price of the Ice and Snow World, but the area is much smaller.

Zhaolin Park is a garden scenic spot named in memory of the famous Anti-Japanese Allied Forces General Li Zhaolin. It was built in 1906. In winter, ice lantern and ice sculpture festivals are often held here. It is also a fitness and leisure park for citizens.

The park lights were turned on at around 4 o'clock. The ice sculptures inside were smaller than those in the Ice and Snow World, but each ice sculpture had a sign stating what awards it had won. There were also ice mazes and ice slides for children to play.

Come see the free ice lanterns at night.

All the ice lanterns were the work of students, including middle school students. There were no explanations, so many people couldn’t understand what they were.

There is a blocked area in the middle. The ice lanterns inside are quite delicate and may be award-winning works.

It's free and unmaintained, so kids crawl around on it and adults stand on it to take pictures, and some of it is even damaged.

I also saw some ice cubes. Maybe I didn’t have time to carve them. Now it’s vacation time, so I guess I can only wait for them to melt.

There are free ice sculptures and snow sculptures, free ice slides, and the children had a lot of fun

Don't miss the free ice lantern art exhibition. It's only about 200 meters away from Central Street.

There are ice lanterns in winter. It is not far from Central Street. It is recommended to take a stroll.

Zhaolin Park is named after the anti-Japanese hero General Li Zhaolin, who rests on the north side of the park. In winter, Zhaolin Park will have an ice sculpture exhibition, all of which are exhibited works. They will be open to the public free of charge at appropriate times. Several ice slides have been built in the courtyard for children to play, which is especially recommended in winter.

Mandarin ducks are playing in the pond, willow trees are green and shady, and magpies are flying in pairs.

The waves are rippling, fish are swimming, boats are pushing through the waves, and tourists are singing. Come here and have a good time!

Built in 1906, it had several different names before being renamed Zhaolin Park in honor of the anti-Japanese hero Li Zhaolin. The park is small but beautiful, with a central pond adding a touch of charm. To one side stands the tomb of General Li Zhaolin, where visitors can pay their respects.

This is the oldest park in Harbin since its founding. On March 9, 1946, national hero Li Zhaolin was buried here, and the park was later named "Zhaolin Park." The park boasts an elegant environment, abundant trees and vegetation, and several small bridges, making it a great spot for morning exercises.

Commemorating Li Zhaolin, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, who fought tenaciously until Japan surrendered, but was killed by Kuomintang spies the year after the end of the war, one can't help but sigh.

Zhaolin Park, named after the anti-Japanese hero General Li Zhaolin, is a small amusement park, but it's only suitable for children. I'm not sure if it's filled with children's laughter and joy during the day, but it's especially quiet in the mornings. Many people are doing morning exercises, playing badminton, Tai Chi, skipping rope, jogging, strolling, and even practicing musical instruments.

The park was founded in 1906 and has gone through four periods of development. Initially named "Board of Directors Park," it was later renamed "Special City Park," and after liberation, it was renamed "Daoli Park." On March 9, 1946, General Li Zhaolin was buried here, prompting the Heilongjiang Provincial Government to rename it "Zhaolin Park."

Li Zhaolin (November 2, 1910 - March 9, 1946) served as head of the Military Commission of the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, deputy commander of the Zhuhe Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Unit, political commissar of the Harbin East Detachment, acting director of the Political Department of the Sixth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army, director of the Political Department of the Third Army, director of the General Political Department of the North Manchuria Anti-Japanese United Army, and commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army. On March 9, 1946, Li Zhaolin was assassinated by Kuomintang spies in Harbin (yes, you read that correctly, a martyr died at the hands of his own people). Over 100,000 people attended his funeral. Leaders including Feng Zhongyun and veterans of the Anti-Japanese United Army buried him here and erected a tall monument in his honor, inscribed with the words "Tomb of National Hero General Li Zhaolin." In 1963, Premier Zhou Enlai accompanied North Korean distinguished guest Chairman Choi Yong-kun to lay a wreath at Li Zhaolin's tomb.

Zhaolin Park, nestled in the bustling heart of Harbin, faces the beautiful Songhua River across the river. Named after General Li Zhaolin, a renowned anti-Japanese war general, the park boasts an elegant setting and hosts an ice lantern festival every winter. We chose to visit Harbin during the Spring Festival holiday to see the ice lanterns, but the one on Sun Island, while large, was too far away. This one is right in the city center and close to our hotel, and the kids had a blast.

Well... the park is named after General Li Zhaolin. In the summer, with its shady trees, vibrant flowers, and flowing water, it's a perfect summer escape and a popular destination for both young and old. There's also a small playground and elderly people dancing and singing. Even more remarkable is the wintertime ice lantern festival at Zhaolin Park! Here's a photo I took a while back.

Zhaolin Park is only 200 meters away from Central Avenue. It is the earliest urban park in Harbin and has been the venue for the annual Ice Lantern Festival.

It is a holy place for Harbin people to relax and vacation, and the magnificent "Ice Lantern Garden Party" attracts Chinese and foreign tourists from all over the world.

The Zhaolin Park Ice Lantern Festival features traditional ice lanterns, and the ice structures are relatively low, making it a bit of a contrast to the Ice and Snow World. While it's still worth visiting in winter, you'll need a ticket. The price is different during the day and at night, but at other times, it's free and open to the public, just like a regular park.

Opening hours

The daytime viewing hours of the Ice Lantern Festival are: 10:00-14:00 (ticket sales stop at 13:00); the night viewing hours are: 14:00-21:30 (ticket sales stop at 21:00).

There is no need to go there in the summer. Like all the old parks in cities in Northeast China, there is nothing to see or special about it.

I ran to the park early in the morning and saw only old people doing morning exercises. There was nothing much to see.

The finished ice sculptures are certainly not comparable to those in the Ice and Snow World, but it is still exciting to see them for the first time.

On my way to the Songhua River, I accidentally passed by Zhaolin Park. It has the atmosphere of an old park. The name reminds me of the movie "The Battle of Jiangqiao", where the anti-Japanese hero

Harbin's Zhaolin Park is a scenic garden named after General Li Zhaolin, a renowned general in the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. The park boasts an elegant setting and is the site of the annual Harbin Ice Lantern Festival. Located in the bustling city center, the park overlooks the beautiful Songhua River and borders commercial buildings.

It's a must-see, very close to Central Street.

Zhaolin Park, located in the bustling heart of Harbin, was founded in 1906 and covers an area of 6.5 hectares. Initially named "Board of Directors Park," it was later renamed "Special City Park" and, after liberation, "Daoli Park." The Heilongjiang Provincial Government named the park "Zhaolin Park" after General Li Zhaolin's burial there on March 9, 1946. In summer, the park is awash with lush greenery, lush grass, chirping birds, and fragrant flowers, creating a refreshing and relaxing atmosphere. In winter, it transforms into a world of ice, a sea of ​​ice. The world-renowned Ice Lantern Festival is held here.

『2015-1-8 Zhaolin Park』

I passed by it once on the evening of the 7th, but it was closed. I passed by it again during the day on the 8th, when the 41st Harbin Ice Lantern Festival was taking place. It was not free, and the ticket cost several dozen yuan. Since I was going to the Ice and Snow World that night, I didn't go in, so I just took a few photos outside.

Going from the church to the Songhua River, you will pass through the park to commemorate General Li Zhaolin, where his cenotaph is located.

On October 3, 2016, our family traveled to Harbin and stayed at the Xiangjiang Hotel. Across from the hotel is Zhaolin Park, which is free to visit. The park is shaded by trees and has the characteristics of a Chinese garden. The tomb of Mr. Li Zhaolin is also worth a visit.

One of Harbin's iconic attractions, worth a visit.

Zhaolin Park is not big and admission is free. It is a place for Harbin people to relax. Coming here to see how the locals live is also part of the cultural tourism.

It's just an ordinary street park, nothing special, it's better not to visit

Basically, the north is covered in white in winter.

The ice lanterns at Zhaolin Park are quite beautiful in winter, second only to the Ice and Snow World. You need a ticket to enter in winter, and it seems to be 150 yuan for non-locals and 80 yuan for locals. That's a bit unreasonable, isn't it? That's just my opinion. Be sure to dress warmly in winter, as it's freezing cold all around. If you haven't seen the ice lanterns, it's definitely worth a visit.

One gate is on Zhaolin Street, one gate is on Shangzhi Street, and one gate is on Youyi Road, so buses to these three places can all reach Zhaolin Park.

Buses 84, 12, 102, 15, and 64 all arrive here. General Li Zhaolin is buried here.

The park closes at 20:00 in winter and 21:00 in summer. In winter, it is the famous Ice Lantern Fair. The scale is not as large as that of the Ice and Snow World, and the ticket price is half of that. If you have never seen ice lanterns, you can still satisfy your curiosity here. It is free to enter unless it is an ice lantern fair.

There are amusement facilities in the park, flowers in summer, and an artificial lake. In spring, mandarin ducks will fly here to rest, and there is also a cage where monkeys occasionally appear.

Nearby attractions: Songhua River, Stalin Park, Flower, Bird and Fish Market, Central Street

Harbin's landmark attraction is suitable for strolling. The scenery on the Songhua River is still good. But after all, it is just a city park, so there will be no surprises.

If you visit in winter, please pay attention to the time because the park may be closed due to the Ice and Snow Festival. The snow scenery inside is absolutely first-class.

It's conveniently located just off Central Avenue, surrounded by ice sculptures and has an ice sculpture display inside.

Near Central Avenue, there are ice sculptures built in the park, which are charming under the colorful lights at night.

Zhaolin Park, renamed from the former Daoli Park in honor of General Li Zhaolin, a nationalist hero who fought against Japanese aggression, is located at the intersection of Zhaolin Street and Youyi Road, close to Central Street and the Songhua River. Visiting Zhaolin Park is essential during winter, when Harbin hosts its annual ice lantern festival. At other times of the year, Zhaolin Park offers little interest, with ordinary scenery and unremarkable plants and trees. It's simply a place for leisurely strolls. The winter ice lantern festival isn't as large as the Ice and Snow World, but runs from December to February, truly a time to enjoy the coldest days of winter. The large ice blocks used to make the lanterns are harvested directly from the frozen Songhua River by locals. These blocks are ingeniously cut and constructed according to the theme of each year's festival. Wires and colorful light bulbs are threaded through the ice, and then carved, frozen, and inlaid. Light and sound technology is also employed, creating a sense of being transported to a magnificent palace. However, winter is cold, so be sure to dress warmly when visiting the ice lanterns. Wear furry leather shoes or snow boots; sneakers like Nike and Adidas are not suitable. Also, bring a pot of hot water with you; when you're freezing cold, having some hot water is a real treat.

The park is free in the summer, and hosts an ice lantern festival in the winter. The Zhaolin Park Ice Lantern Festival is smaller than the Ice and Snow World, but its location near Central Avenue makes it convenient, making it ideal for those who are pressed for time and want to combine a Central Avenue visit with the fun. Of course, the prices are also lower than those at the Ice and Snow World. The 2015 Ice Lantern Festival prices are: 150 yuan for adults, 40 yuan for students, 70 yuan for military personnel, and free for children under 1.2 meters and seniors over 70. This is the evening show after 4 p.m. The afternoon show, from around noon to 3 p.m., is expected to be more affordable.

Zhaolin Park is also a park I have visited frequently since I was a child.

One gate is on Zhaolin Street, one gate is on Shangzhi Street, and one gate is on Youyi Road, so buses to these three places can all reach Zhaolin Park.

Buses 84, 12, 102, 15, and 64 all arrive here. General Li Zhaolin is buried here.

The scenery is beautiful. It's all greenery. It's so pretty. The view is beautiful. Perfect for taking photos.

It's a small, free park near Central Avenue, and easy to find. I didn't have high hopes, but once inside I was pleasantly surprised. I really like the style, and the facilities are quite comprehensive. There are small bridges, lakes, small animals, amusement facilities, and even the tomb of General Li Zhaolin. The scenery is quite beautiful. If you have time, you should definitely check it out. I highly recommend it.

There are few people, it is quiet, and it is close to Central Avenue, so it is convenient to get to.

Like the city, this park has a nostalgic feel. In every corner, you can find traces of the park we used to play in our childhood. It seems to be a well-preserved antique park from the 1980s.

It's about a 1,000-meter walk from Saint Sophia Cathedral along the main street. It's also a great place to relax while looking for a park on Central Avenue. There are lounge chairs and public restrooms for those tired of walking. Squirrels scamper among the trees and grass, searching for food. Wild mandarin ducks float leisurely in the creek, watching curious people take photos. Fishing rods are available for rent in the gardens surrounding the small rockery. A gate at the back leads directly to the Songhua River. The Flood Control Memorial Tower and Stalin Park are about 200 meters away. I was in a hurry to find Central Avenue, so I didn't explore it thoroughly. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a free park.

The environment is nice and big, there are many people taking wedding photos, and there are many squirrels running around, not afraid of people at all

There is nothing special about Zhaolin Park. It is just a street garden with good greenery and beautiful environment.

Zhaolin Park, a scenic garden named after Li Zhaolin, a renowned general in the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, is now the site of the renowned Harbin Ice Lantern Festival. The park boasts pleasant scenery and lush greenery, making it a popular destination for locals.

The ice sculptures in the city center are expensive, but the night view is good when you pass by them.

Harbin's Zhaolin Park is nestled in the heart of the city, facing the beautiful Songhua River across the road and bordering commercial buildings. The park covers 8.4 hectares, stretching from the Outer Ring Road in the north to Senlin Street in the south, Shangzhi Street in the west, and Zhaolin Elementary School in the east.

Zhaolin Park, founded in 1906, has a long history, having undergone four phases of development. Initially named "Board of Directors Park," it was later renamed "Special City Park" and, after liberation, "Daoli Park." On March 9, 1946, General Li Zhaolin was buried here, and the Heilongjiang Provincial Government subsequently named it "Zhaolin Park."

I personally think that Zhaolin Park is not a big deal. If you are going to the Ice and Snow World, then there is no need to go to Zhaolin. The student ticket is 70 yuan. It is very small and there are not many ice sculptures. They are also small.

The night view of Zhaolin Park looks particularly beautiful under the lights.

The Zhaolin Park Ice Lantern Festival is much smaller than the Ice and Snow World, but the exhibits are more detailed. If you feel it's too much of a duplicate, you can skip it.

It is located at the end of Stalin Park. The park is open to the public free of charge and no entrance fee is charged on ordinary days. However, an entrance fee is required during the Ice Lantern Festival in winter.

There are many activities for children. In the summer, Zhaolin Park becomes a small playground, and in the mornings, it is filled with elderly people exercising. Tickets to Zhaolin Park are cheap, with adults paying 60 yuan and students receiving half-price tickets. Children in Harbin can enter for free. Zhaolin Park is quite lively during the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Zhaolin Park was holding an ice lantern festival. The regular adult ticket was 160 yuan, which was not expensive, but I just stood outside and watched without going in.

The ticket price for the garden fair was also quite high, but I found student tickets to be a better deal than regular tickets. This felt like the coldest spot on our Northeast China itinerary. Ice sculptures were everywhere, and the ground beneath our feet was covered in a thin layer of snow. It felt like entering a giant ice cellar. The exquisite ice sculptures at the Ice and Snow World were competition entries, fenced off and off-limits to close-up viewing. Zhaolin Park made up for this disappointment, however. Each sculpture was exquisitely crafted, earning Xiaoxin endless praise.

Zhaolin Park is not worth visiting. If you decide to go to the Ice and Snow World, you can ignore this attraction. Compared with the Ice and Snow World, it is a small wonder.

Zhaolin Park has an ice lantern festival every night, with a ticket price of 150 yuan per person.

I went there in January 2015. It was very cold. I suggest you wear more clothes. Maybe it was because of the ice sculptures. I felt the cold. The ice sculptures were very beautiful under the lights at night. It is worth a visit.

After dinner, I decided to go to Zhaolin Park because there were ice lanterns there. However, I found that the entrance fee was really expensive. Even with a student ID, it was not much cheaper. I just took a quick photo at the entrance.

Tickets for the Ice Sculpture Art Festival at Zhaolin Park are 50 yuan for local residents and 150 yuan for out-of-town tourists.

If Shanghai ever implements a policy where local residents can buy houses at half price while non-local residents can buy houses at the original price, there will probably be a huge uproar.

The opening ceremony of the Ice and Snow Festival was to be held in the evening. I bought a local ticket with my friend's ID card, but was not allowed in. No entry was allowed after 3 pm. I finally changed the gate and got in. The various newly made ice sculptures in the park were crystal clear, shining in the setting sun. I came at a really good time. The last time I came, it was quite late and the ice sculptures were covered with dust, not as crystal clear as this.

Harbin Zhaolin Park is ideally located near Harbin Central Street and the Sophia Cathedral, accessible by bus No. 64 and other routes. The park was originally named after Li Zhaolin, a figure who resides there. Admission is free in the summer, but in the winter, due to the annual international ice sculpture competition and exhibition, tickets can be quite expensive. The price I paid was 200 yuan during my visit, but student IDs offer discounts, so bringing your own is recommended. There's a dedicated area for viewing competition sculptures, while other areas are filled with roadside sculptures and ice and snow entertainment facilities. While not as detailed as the competition sculptures, they're still quite good. If you'd rather avoid the crowded crowds at the Ice and Snow World, visit Lankao for a refreshing and refined artistic experience.

When I went there, Zhaolin Park was also preparing for the Ice and Snow Festival. The ice sculptures were about 70% to 80% completed. I walked around the park and took a look.

General Li Zhaolin, a famous general of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, is buried here

Zhaolin Park, named after the national hero General Li Zhaolin, boasts a history of over a century. Buses 101, 102, 103, 16, 8, and 23 take you directly to the park's main entrance. Admission to the park is free, with the exception of the annual winter Ice Lantern Festival, when admission is charged.

In summer, the scenery here is delightful, with shady green trees, lush grass, and a refreshing fragrance that invigorates the heart. The unique gardens within the garden, "North Garden," "Moon Reflection Garden," "Little South Island," and "Lilac Garden," each possess unique characteristics and are truly captivating. Boats drifting on the water, pavilions and bridges reflecting the willows, are a refreshing sight. Wild mandarin ducks can even be spotted in the park's lake, creating a delightful spectacle. Bumper cars, "Mermaid Adventure," and "Space Ride" offer thrills and excitement. A ride on the park's "Skytrain" offers a panoramic view of the park.

In winter, this place becomes a world of ice and a sea of lights. The world-famous Ice Lantern Festival is held here, where the colorful, lifelike and unique ice lanterns are breathtaking.

It's very close to our hotel. I took a look at the outside and the ice lanterns inside were nothing special. The entrance fee is 150 yuan, so I don't recommend it. It's better to go to the Ice and Snow World.

I went there in winter, just before Chinese New Year. There were many ice sculptures and colorful lights, which were especially beautiful at night. The outdoor temperature was low, so I had to keep warm.

It's a relatively small park. I went in and took a look when I went there in August. It is said that it will be very popular during the ice sculpture exhibition in winter.

On the way back from Sun Island, I took bus 94 and got off at the Children's Hospital. I went to Zhaolin Park, a typical modern park in Nanjing in the 1990s. There were few people and the environment was good.

I have to complain a bit here, there are only a few ice sculptures in the park, and the ticket price is even more of a rip-off, there are only a few ice sculptures in total, and there are different ticket prices... Actually, the ice sculptures only feel fresh at first glance...

The earliest ice lantern show, not as lively as the Ice and Snow World, was quiet and interesting. The elementary school circle was pretty good. I went back and forth several times.

The Harbin ice lanterns were first displayed in the park named after General Li Zhaolin of the Anti-Japanese United Army. Later, the focus of ice lanterns and ice sculptures was gradually shifted to the Sun Island.
