    Besides the ice slides, these hidden attractions at the Ice and Snow World are even more amazing! As a local who's been to the Ice and Snow World countless times, I have a love-hate relationship with it! I love its dreamlike and breathtaking scenery ❄️, but I hate that every year I willingly empty my wallet and freeze like an "ice pop" 🤣. Here's a heartfelt review for you: 📍 Location and Transportation Take Metro Line 2 directly to "Ice and Snow World Station" 🚇, it's right outside the station! But be aware of the long taxi lines after the event; it's recommended to take the free shuttle bus or the smart rail line. 🏰 Facilities and Services This year, the attention to detail is top-notch! All ice steps are covered with non-slip mats, greatly increasing safety ⛑️. The park has added a 5000㎡ "Ice and Snow Warm Castle" for free heating, and there are also women-only restrooms, which is very thoughtful. ✨ Highlights and Features Three must-see attractions: 1. 521-meter super ice slide: The king of speed and passion! 1. **Enter the park in the morning and head straight in; afternoon queues will easily exceed 1.5 hours ⏳.** 2. **Snowflake Ferris Wheel:** 🎡 Highly recommend riding it after the lights come on in the evening for a breathtaking panoramic view of the illuminated ice city – pure romance! 3. **Snow Disco:** Get hyped with the "Left and Right Brothers" at night – the atmosphere is super exciting 🔥! 💰 **Value for Money:** Adult ticket 328 RMB. Expensive, but considering you get to experience the largest ice sculpture group ever, the giant slide, the Ferris wheel, and countless free attractions, it's worth a full day. 🚨 **Avoidance Guide (Painful Lessons Learned):** 1. **Avoid Peak Times:** Go on a weekday and enter before 11 AM! 2. **Clothing is Key:** Wear your thickest clothes! 🧤 Non-slip snow boots, touchscreen gloves, and hand warmers (for your body and phone 📱) are essential. 3. **Bring Your Own Hot Water:** Food and beverage options in the park have a premium; bring a thermos with hot water. 🎯 Overall Experience This is a winter wonderland built with magic 🏰, a unique experience, but be prepared to stay warm and wait in line! There's room for improvement in the food options and guidance on staying warm in extreme weather.

    The thrill ride was definitely fun! You could personally feed the tigers 🐯. When you climbed onto the feeding area, everyone on the bus gasped and snapped photos non-stop. The meat cost 20 yuan per piece, or 5 yuan for a bucket; you could return any uneaten meat. The only downside was that the park was quite small. It only offered the thrill ride 🚗 feeding area and a walking area to see the captive tigers and bears. Don't rush; a complete loop should take about an hour and fifteen minutes.

    Harbin Polar Park offers a variety of exciting performances, such as the beluga whale show "Heart of the Ocean," where trainers dance with beluga whales to form shapes like the "Heart of the Ocean," and in 2024, it was upgraded to incorporate traditional Chinese elements; the dolphin show combines 3D holographic projection with a surprise appearance by mischievous penguins; the sea lion and walrus stand-up comedy show is performed humorously by the "Northeast Comedy Troupe"; and the water dance show features ballet dancers and mermaids performing in the water, creating a stunning spectacle with lighting effects.

    Volga Manor in winter was absolutely stunning for us southerners. The Russian-style architecture blended perfectly with the snow-covered landscape, making for incredibly photogenic photos. Definitely worth recommending.

    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 ⛷️!

    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!

    In the vast land of Northeast China, there is a small town full of exotic customs. It is like a shining pearl, exuding a unique charm that makes me yearn for it. Finally, I embarked on a journey there this summer. The moment I stepped into the town, it seemed as if I had traveled through time and space and came to distant Russia. On both sides of the street, Russian buildings of different styles came into view, domed churches, exquisite wooden houses, each of which exuded a strong Russian atmosphere. The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkles on the ancient buildings. The light and shadow are intertwined, like a beautiful oil painting. Walking on the streets of the town, I heard melodious Russian folk songs, which were played by street artists. They were dressed in traditional Russian costumes, and the melody played by the instruments in their hands was sometimes cheerful and sometimes sad, which made people stop and indulge in it. On the street, there are many small shops selling Russian specialty products, exquisite nesting dolls, mellow vodka, and delicious borscht, each of which makes people love it. The residents of the town are warm and hospitable. They greeted me in pure Russian and invited me to taste authentic Russian food. Sitting in an open-air cafe, tasting the fragrant coffee, looking at the picturesque scenery in front of me, feeling the charm of Russian culture, my heart is full of comfort and satisfaction. This trip to the Russian-style town allowed me to appreciate the unique charm of exotic culture and made me deeply attached to this land.

    For the first time, I recommend a coach. Although it is a little expensive, beginners should not think about trying to paddle by themselves. It is difficult to put on shoes and skateboards without someone to teach you. The ski slope does not look steep, but you can paddle very fast. And it is basically difficult to stand up again after slipping. We bought a three-hour ticket (pay attention to not exceed three hours when swiping the card, otherwise there will be an additional charge). With the coach, you can paddle about four times, and the coach is also very responsible. At the end, there was no situation where you were asked for a tip. It is worth a second visit. Very exciting, a very good experience (the coach is one-on-one, one person costs more than 200, and there are also people who take photos and videos for a fee, depending on personal needs)
