Harbin Winter Vacation Northern Expedition Parent-Child Tour, this article is all you need!
✈️Shanghai-Shenyang🚄Shenyang-Harbin (Direct flights are expensive, round-trip adult airfare from Shanghai Hongqiao to Shenyang including tax is just over 2000, children 1900, high-speed rail one-way adult 250, children 125)
Must-do with kids in Harbin:
🔵Ice and Snow World: 🎫Adult: 328 Child: 240 (Free for under 1.2 meters, tips: For children around 1.2 meters from the south, it's advised not to buy tickets immediately but to measure on-site before purchasing). Children under 1.6 meters cannot play on the big slide alone, and the queue for the big slide is 5-6 hours, which we gave up on. We saw the ice sculptures, played on the regular slides, stepped on the free bicycles, and drifted, etc. The best time to visit is around 4 pm; you can see the sunset and enjoy both the daytime and nighttime views. It's very hard to get a taxi when leaving the park, so it's recommended to take the subway at the entrance, which is also very close to Central Street, just three subway stops away. Remember to keep warm! It's really very cold!
🔴Siberian Tiger Park: Highly recommended!! Ticket 🎫: Adult regular car + ticket 105/person, children over 1.2 meters 65/person. The thrilling car is 20 more expensive. Adorable Northeastern golden retrievers, go early! Before 10:30 am!!! First, there are fewer people, and second, the tigers are more active after being fed. We chose the regular car which had a better view, but you can choose the thrilling car, which allows feeding. After driving around the park, there's a walking area and then you exit the park. The visit won't take too long and there's no need to walk, the golden retrievers will pose in front of the windows, and the park's souvenirs are also well made, the little tiger bags are very cute!
🟢Central Street: Madieer ice pops (supposedly there are 5 yuan ones, I paid more), Qiulin Kvass, Wandashan, and so on. We held a snow fox here, the price was 30, and the time was very short. Not recommended, it's suggested to go to the Songhua River to hold one.
🔴Music Corridor Snowman Photography: Buy a snowman coffee for 48 yuan at 152 Yuanjiang Road, you can buy a voucher, then take photos with various angles that are available online. Music Park also has different snowmen.
🟢Saint Sophia Cathedral: Take photos! Opposite the church, there's the Daoli Market where you can buy fridge magnets! 5 yuan! It's recommended to travel by subway as this section is very congested!
🟤Eat: Deep-fried cake is highly recommended (I randomly ordered from a takeout place and it was delicious), Youwei Barbecue - said to have been visited by Xue Zhiqian, the barbecue and chicken racks are also good. Shanhetun Iron Pot Stew: Just order a set meal, get a number early. Laochang Spring Pancake: Delicious! Trust me, a set meal for two adults and two children is enough, don't order too much!! Eating is relatively cheap, we spent 560 for one adult and one child over three days.
The above are my experiences, overall in Harbin if you stay outdoors for more than 10 minutes you start to feel cold🥶, don't forget your hat, cotton mask, and gloves!! I'll update about Shenyang next time! Hope kids from the south and the north all have fun!
I really like to visit the zoo. This time I took the high-speed rail to the Northeast Tiger Forest Park. I contacted the Northeast Tiger up close, and rushed the first wave of people into the park early in the morning. The thrilling sightseeing car took a particularly good photo. I recommend everyone to come to the Northeast to see the Northeast Tiger.
There are so many tigers! It is safe to stimulate the sightseeing car! After getting on the bus, if you want to feed, you can buy meat, 20 yuan a piece, 100 yuan a bucket (5 yuan). The driver of the sightseeing car is very interesting and will explain; you can also choose to walk and sightseeing when you get off the bus, not very far, suitable for moderate physical strength.
The tour guide was very patient and explained professionally, and gave us three people a lot of common sense about the Northeastern tiger and many other animals. The garden design is reasonable, the tour bus is safe and reliable, and tourists can also safely feed. I feel that the life of the big cats is very comfortable. It is highly recommended. If you have time, you must go and see it.
The Tiger Forest Garden is very large, especially when feeding the tiger in the thriller sightseeing car. The children have fun. The interpreter on the sightseeing car will briefly introduce the situation of the northeast tiger. The children can learn about the tiger. During the Spring Festival, there are many people. We will queue at 9:00 in the morning. It’s about half an hour, and the whole play process is about 2 hours. The children are full of joy and surprises. It is highly recommended!
I really feel that the price/performance ratio of going to Tiger Garden is quite high. You can also eat it if you can interact. The meat strips are slightly more expensive. 100 yuan is five small pork strips... It is really expensive, but I really can’t help but interact when I see the tiger. If you want to be more cost-effective, you can’t buy it. You can basically see it when others feed you, haha 😊
Recommended thriller car! It's really shocking to watch it up close! Every time I jump up, I really feel the deterrent power of the king of the forest! The only thing that is not so good is that the meat strips in the car can only be bought 10 barrels per barrel; The chicken is also, asked about 5 groups can not buy alone a little experience is not good. The price of a single purchase is actually acceptable, and the combination is a bit unnecessary. But it does not affect the overall view, recommended!
It's nice experience to visit this place. We had good time there.
Northeast tigers are cherished animals in the area, so they take great interest in watching. The ordinary viewing time is not long, but you can see the tiger from a distance. Go, run, jump, etc. After walking freely, you can watch and feed up close, but the tiger may not be hungry, so you are not interested in meat strips!
