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.

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.

1. Fulfilled my "finding the North" dream at Beiji Village! In temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius, my breath turned to white mist instantly, my eyelashes frosted over, and the crunching sound of footsteps in knee-deep snow was incredibly atmospheric. I visited the northernmost post office, mailed a postcard with a special postmark, and the frozen ink in my fountain pen was hilarious. The Heilongjiang River's frozen shore faces Russia, and the snowscape was truly pristine and breathtaking! The guesthouse owner was incredibly welcoming, the heated kang (traditional heated platform bed) was cozy, and the stewed goose in an iron pot for dinner was both heartwarming and stomach-warming. The only downside was the long wait for the shuttle bus, and the lack of standing room when it was crowded, which slightly affected the experience. 2. I advise everyone not to just go to Beiji Village for the aurora borealis! Although I wasn't lucky enough to see it, the snow-covered forest and the "finding the North" ritual were totally worth it! The "I've Found the North" monument on the Arctic Sandbar is a must-see, the deer in the Evenki Reindeer Park are incredibly gentle, the birch forest is perfect for photos, and the water-to-ice effect was amazing – I got tons of likes on my social media! However, I have to complain about the duplicate charges. You have to pay extra to enter the Christmas Village after buying the main attraction ticket. The shops in the village are a bit chaotic, with many touts, and prices are relatively high. Overall, the scenery is amazing, but the commercialization and transportation capacity issues need improvement. 3. I have a love-hate relationship with Beiji Village! The advantages are stunning scenery, the air filled with the scent of pine, and frost that can stay on the branches for days. The sunset at Shenzhou Beiji Square is gorgeous, and the night sky is exceptionally clear. But the disadvantages are also obvious. The scenic area is too large, and there aren't enough shuttle buses. The southern bus is rushed, and you have to scramble to take photos. I even encountered a situation where the tram ran out of power and I had to get off halfway. The northernmost post office is packed with people, so you have to go early to send postcards. Everything sold in the village is pretty much the same, and the prices aren't reasonable. I recommend staying overnight to avoid peak times, otherwise you'll just be queuing. Make sure you're dressed warmly; use hand warmers on your phone to prevent it from freezing and shutting down!

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!

It is worth a visit. You can take a sightseeing bus inside. Go up first. There are many little squirrels on it. You can prepare some peanuts, melon seeds, pine nuts, etc. to taste the little animals. Birds also eat melon seeds. On the way back, you can walk around and see many little squirrels. There are squirrels wherever there are many people. Haha. On the way back, you can also take a small train. Go down. There is not much walking. It is very leisurely.

The park is quite large. First, you take a vehicle to see the free-roaming tigers, and then walk to see the captive tigers. The park is near Hengdaohezi Station, and together with Hengdaohezi Town, it's a perfect day trip from Harbin by high-speed rail. Highly recommended.
