Harbin's Secret Birch Forest

No need to drive far to the suburbs, a hidden autumn surprise awaits right in downtown Harbin—the garden at the main entrance of the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University is blooming with limited-time golden romance. The birch leaves have turned yellow, fallen leaves form a soft path, and with benches in the forest, every casual shot looks like a cinematic scene, often overlooked even by locals.

Key Highlights

- Golden Birch Forest: The birch trees in the garden have lost their green, turning fully golden and shining brightly under the sunlight. Layers of fallen leaves cover the forest path, rustling underfoot; find a bench to sit on, with a backdrop of birch trees, and every photo is an autumn masterpiece with a natural filter.
- Surprise Apricot Trees: Besides the birch forest, the garden also hides several beautiful apricot trees. Their leaves have also turned warm yellow in autumn, complementing the birch forest and adding a unique, less-known charm.

Latest Photos & Visiting Tips

- Best Time: The photos were taken today. The birch forest is in the leaf-fall period, with golden leaves and a moderate amount of fallen leaves. Visiting in the next 3-5 days will capture the best state of "golden forest + leaf-covered path." Later, the leaves may become sparse.

Precise Navigation & Transportation

- Driving/Taxi: Navigate directly to "Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University Gate 1." After arrival, enter the gate, turn left into the garden, and you will see the birch forest.
- Public Transport: Take Metro Line 1 or Line 3 to "Medical University Second Hospital Station." Exit from Exit 5, walk straight, enter the hospital gate, then turn left to easily find the garden entrance without detours.
