Must-Visit Ice and Snow World

【Winter Limited】4-Day Harbin Ice and Snow Adventure ❄️

Day 1:
📍Central Avenue
Stroll among European-style buildings and don't miss trying Ma Die'er ice cream (Address: No.89 Central Avenue) - eating ice cream at -20°C is a unique experience! The street-side candied hawthorns are also super authentic🍡
📍St. Sophia Cathedral
Beautiful both day and night, with an ice sculpture exhibition in the square at night. Visit around 4pm to enjoy both daytime and nighttime views⛪️

Day 2:
📍Harbin Ice and Snow World (recommended 3-4 hours)
Book tickets online in advance! Bring hand warmers and heated insoles, and stick warmers on your phone to prevent shutdown from cold❄️ The super-long ice slide has long queues, so head there right after entering
📍Songhua River (evening)
A local favorite for walks, try ice activities here - snowmobiling is super thrilling🏍️

Day 3:
📍Sun Island Snow Sculpture Art Expo (morning)
Less crowded than Ice and Snow World, with snow sculptures as delicate as art pieces✨ Wear anti-slip shoes as walking on snow can be slippery
📍Laodaowai (afternoon)
A charming old district full of local life. Must-try: Zhang Baopu's rib buns (Address: Intersection of Nanxun St & Nantou St) - sold in sets of 6 with thin wrappers and generous fillings🥟

Day 4:
📍Volga Manor (all day)
Russian-style architecture perfect for photos, with snow-covered castles like fairy tales! The onsite Russian bakery's freshly baked black bread smells amazing🍞

🍲 Must-Eat Foods:
- Lao Chang Spring Pancake (Central Ave branch): Perfect pancake rolls with shredded pork in sweet bean sauce
- Shanhetun Iron Pot Stew: Huge portions - a small pot serves 4
- Ma Die'er Western Restaurant: Historic Russian-style cuisine

⚠️ Practical Tips:
1. Buy touchscreen-compatible gloves! Constantly removing gloves for photos is painful
2. Place hand warmers correctly: lower back, abdomen, and thighs - warming these areas keeps your whole body comfortable
3. Stay near Central Avenue for convenience. Recommended: Ma Die'er Hotel, a century-old building with great atmosphere
