Stop wasting time on random travel plans! Traveling in Harbin is really simple!

This winter, let's dive into a fairy tale world of ice and snow together!

🎒Must-bring items
•Warm three-piece set: thick down jacket + waterproof snow boots + warm hat and gloves
•Heat packs: stick on your phone and body, a lifesaver in low temperatures!

•Yanji: Recommended near the university area, with lots of food and a youthful vibe, walking distance to the popular wall
