Worth a visit even though its not the official start of the Ice and Snow festival yet. It's indoors and gives a good glimpse of how they can shape ice into structures. Kids and adults have a fun time on the small slides! Was easy booking tickets on Trip app and scanning the QR at the gantry to enter.

It was definitely worth the trip! The tigers were quite active, offering a close-up experience and watching them eat – very interesting. The kids really enjoyed it too. There were also tiger cubs to see, but unfortunately, there wasn't an option to touch or hold them. Also, it was a bit too cold in winter, so we had to dress warmly.

Taking the Songhua River sightseeing cableway offers panoramic views of the Songhua River and the castles floating on its banks. It's like seeing the Ice City from a bird's-eye view. More than just transportation, it's an aerial postcard from Harbin to every traveler. Here, crossing the river becomes a ritual, a dramatic shift in perspective that transforms how you view the city.

Today was my child's birthday, so we brought them here to play. We were short on time, but we saw the dolphin show, which my child absolutely loved. They clapped the whole time! The dolphins are very intelligent; they can dribble a ball and even shoot three-pointers. The dolphin prince was also amazing!

The grandeur and beauty of the buildings are immediately apparent from the fence surrounding the Harbin No. 6 Factory. Entering the first-floor corridor feels like stepping back in time to Europe. Climbing the escalator to the fourth floor is a bit tiring, but still worth the visit.

Loved it here! First snow experience, the place was spacious with plenty to do, and the staff were very nice. Worth it! ✨💖💖💖

In order to enter the place, you have to purchase online via their wechat page; the guard will check your ticket and no counter to buy on the premises itself. The wechat page only accept personal accts so it’s hassle for foreigners like me whose wechat was linked to a bank card. Good thing, this is available here in Trip.com. I immediately buy here while I was waiting outside and in a few minutes, they sent me the Qr code for the entrance. Thank you so much!

Yabuli Ski Resort ⛷️🏂 is actually quite cost-effective outside of peak season because they have promotions! (Peak season is a different story... there's nothing you can do about it, for example, when the Ice and Snow World is open, or during Chinese New Year, that's peak season!) For beginners, I still recommend using skis 🎿 (you'll get the hang of it after a few falls) before trying snowboarding 🏂 (you'll fall and tumble, hahaha). Honestly, snowboarding is much harder than skiing ⛷️!

It's worth a visit. Central Street is beautiful year-round, but crowds definitely dampen the experience. Summer is busiest, winter is least crowded. Winter is also beautiful and worth a visit if you're passing through. The distinctive features are the breadstone pavement, the adjacent Russian-style buildings, and the various lights and illuminations. If you're looking for a less crowded street, I recommend the Chinese Baroque Street in Daowai District (pictured). It has a similar style to Central Street and offers a variety of delicious food. It's also more affordable than Central Street. You can also go to the Xingyi Society for storytelling and crosstalk, where there are fewer crowds.

The scenery is truly spectacular and beautiful, like stepping into an underwater fairytale world. Watching the fish swimming freely in the large aquarium area is truly relaxing, and the storytelling performances are quite entertaining. It's like Harbin Disneyland, and it's every bit as good! Highly recommended!
