Harbin has been super popular recently! As a southerner who can't resist the temptation, I've put together this detailed guide to ensure you have a comfortable and enjoyable time in Harbin!
๐ Transportation Guide
โ๏ธ Airport: Arrive at Harbin Taiping International Airport! The airport shuttle to downtown is super convenient. If you prefer to take it easy, grab a taxi and you'll be downtown enjoying food in just 40-50 minutes!
๐ City Travel: Subway lovers rejoice! Harbin's subway covers most attractions - it's cheap and avoids traffic jams, a perfect travel tool for the lazy traveler!
๐จ Accommodation Recommendation
I discovered a hidden gem - Harbin MUSE Health Sleep Riverside Hotel! After staying here, it's definitely on my "must-stay" list, with satisfaction levels through the roof ๐
โ
Prime Location: Right near Central Street! Step outside and you can eat and shop, with the Flood Control Memorial Tower within walking distance. The subway station is right at the doorstep, so you can go anywhere with ease!
โ
Amazing Rooms: Highly recommend the river view room I stayed in! During the day, enjoy the sparkling Songhua River, and at night, admire the brilliant lights on both banks. You can take atmospheric photos right from your bed ๐ธ
โ
MUSE Sleep Upgrade: Mattress, pillows, and comforters are all high-end MUSE customized products! Lying down feels like falling into a cloud - sleep through the night and wake up fully refreshed. The room thoughtfully includes a mini-fridge, humidifier, and scale - detail-oriented guests will be thrilled!
โ
Ultimate Guest Pampering: Complimentary nuts and sleep therapy package (essential oil patches, steam eye masks, earplugs all provided) upon check in; free wellness tea and hot milk self-service every night, perfect for insomniacs; and they even give you Coca-Cola, Zhen Zhen snacks and Russian chocolate at check-out - I give this level of guest care full marks ๐ฏ
โ
Food Lover's Paradise: Breakfast features both Chinese and Western options, with Northeast Chinese specialties like Guobaorou (sweet and sour pork) and Liu Rou Duan (stir-fried pork) served directly to your table! Extended dining hours mean you won't go hungry even if you sleep in.
โ
Outstanding Special Services: MUSE customized pillow service is the best! They customize pillows based on your neck circumference and shoulder width - once you've slept on one, you'll never forget it! They also provide free tourist maps with attractions, food spots, and subway stations all marked - instantly turning directionally-challenged visitors into Harbin experts!
