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.
It's not a very big place, to be honest. In the summer, there's not much to do; the indoor ice and snow park is quite small. However, the emotional experience is amazing. Everyone in Harbin is very warm and friendly, making you feel truly at home, so I was very satisfied. Also, the candied hawthorns sold inside are different from what I usually eat. The fruit inside is rock hard, genuinely frozen, unlike the candied hawthorns we have here, which are just fruit coated in sugar. And they were very cheap; a large skewer only cost me about ten yuan.

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.
Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower was definitely worth the trip! This "world's most beautiful sight" truly lived up to its name. The classical architecture with its upturned eaves is magnificent, and the vermilion columns paired with glazed tiles reveal the rich cultural heritage of Hubei. Every snapshot is a masterpiece of ancient style.

A scenic and relaxing ride offering beautiful views of the Songhua River and Harbin city. The cableway is smooth and well-organized, making it enjoyable for both adults and children. A great way to see Harbin from above, especially during winter.
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.

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.
It’s excellent. You should plan to spend at least half a day here, as there are many different animal species to see. It’s recommended to come early in the morning so you can watch the penguin parade coming out to greet visitors. Inside the various buildings, there are also different shows to enjoy. It’s definitely worth a visit.

Early December saw very little snow, significantly diminishing the beauty of Jingyuetan and making it seem rather ordinary. It also got dark quickly, around 4:30 PM, further reducing the scenic appeal. The park's public transportation wasn't as crowded as some summer visitors had reported, making it very convenient, and the drivers were all very friendly and helpful. I recommend that visitors who want to see the beautiful scenery wait until late December for better value.
Very good choice. ...

Zhalong Lake Scenic Area is very large, and the tickets are cheap now because it's the off-season. However, it was really too cold. The red-crowned cranes weren't afraid of people at all; they would chase after you if you had food in your hand. The release was only for a short time, and I didn't even have time to take pictures.
Before going, I read many reviews, and some people gave this scenic spot a very low rating, but after visiting, we felt it was definitely worth the money. After entering, you take a shuttle bus, and then walk to see the release of the red-crowned cranes. The walk and taking pictures only takes about half an hour, because you're walking through wetlands, which is like a lung cleanse, and you don't feel tired at all. The sight of the red-crowned cranes being released is truly breathtaking and beautiful. We encountered red-crowned cranes walking along the roadside both on the way there and back. I've never seen red-crowned cranes so close before; you can even see the little red fleshy bump on their heads very clearly.

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!
From Central Street, you can walk to the Hagia Sophia, which is indeed quite majestic. It is said that it is even more magnificent at night with the light show, and many people take photos here. There is also the famous Daoli Vegetable Market nearby, which you can also go shopping. When we went there, the interior of the cathedral was not open for admission, which was a bit regrettable!

Not far from the east gate is the red panda enclosure, which is indoors. The red pandas are incredibly cute! Around 2 PM, the keepers will give the pandas a snack. You can observe them eating up close!
Superb! The emotional value of seeing the Snow Cracker Monkey from Shanxi was off the charts! Beautiful Changchun, I'll definitely come again next time! The only regret is that I didn't get an autographed photo because I didn't buy the ticket through Douyin.

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.
Known as Asia's "largest" pedestrian street, it retains some early traditional Russian buildings. Various local snacks are spread throughout the street, including Madiel popsicles, Harbin red sausage, various donkey rolls, etc.
