Harbin, you make me feel unfamiliar

After going to Harbin, I found it was quite different from what I expected‼
Before leaving, I clearly did a lot of research, but I still stepped into every trap in the Northeast without missing a single one!
I've summarized many small tips.........
You can refer to them to decide whether or not to go.
.
👻Warm tips:
⭕ Before booking a flight✈, remember to check the weather on that day. If there is heavy snow🌨 at Harbin Airport, flights may be delayed or canceled🛫
⭕ Be cautious when shopping. Russian crafts on Central Street? Just look around, the Toulong Small Commodity Market is the best place for bargain hunting! Red sausage is a must-buy; Qiulin is famous, but Shangwei is more favored by locals.
⭕ Buy snow boots bigger, not smaller; thick socks are the key.
⭕ Bath scrubbing has hidden charges. Milk massage and salt massage are extra fees.
⭕ Northeast cuisine portions are large and affordable, don’t order too much to avoid waste; when trying specialty foods, pay attention to your stomach’s adaptation.
