Originally, Sun Island was free, and the snow expo received money. The snow sculpture is beautiful, it is very cold. There are also slides and entertainment projects to play, not bad. It's just that our route is biased and we didn't see many iconic snow sculptures.
Sun Island is a place of vast and beautiful ice and snow fun. Most of the ice and snow sculptures can be found there and the exit leads directly to the Songhua river and cable car sightseeing area; you can get a direct transport from there to the opposite side of the river. There is also a Sun Island Museum located in that area as well as a very interesting Russian folk style village/town. Sun island is a great experience and you can also taste the local food and rice ice cream there, which is actually pretty tasty. There are also many rides there and fun activities for adults and children alike. It is located on line 2 of the metro and is very close to the city center; only takes about 10-15 minutes by metro and about 20 minutes more or less by bus.
We entered the park early, there were not many people, walked in all the way, the snow was very clean, there were many footprints, it is recommended to pay for the shuttle bus to the edellow flower snow sculpture, there are snow slides and ice slides, we slowly play there It’s already noon, it’s time to wait for a while to play the slide, and there is no need to rent the snow circle. There is a slide next to it, and you have to wait for the people in front to finish playing before handing it over to you. There is also a zoo, you can see
In 1964, the Sun Island Scenic Area was officially established, in 1989 was named Heilongjiang Provincial Scenic Area, and in 2002 was rated as China's national AAAA-level tourist attraction by the China National Tourism Administration. From 2003 to 2005, the Harbin Municipal Committee and Municipal Government took the goal of "reshaping the Sun Island tourism brand and creating an ecological city" as the goal, invested 5.5 billion yuan, and carried out a large-scale comprehensive rectification and transformation of Sun Island. The functional positioning was transformed from the past resort sanatorium area to the national scenic name. Sheng District. Phase III transformation project is located in the west of Sun Island, with a total planned area of about 400,000 square meters. Phase III transformation project highlights the function of "green lung", and makes the Sun Island first show ecological effect through island building, greening and animal protection.
Knowing that Sun Island was still in a song a long time ago, it was very godsend at that time, I expected to see which day I could come to see, after many years, I finally dreamed of it, so happy. The ferry ride, the Songhua River and the Songhua River Bridge are so beautiful, we are floating on the lake under the blue sky and white clouds, the scenery on the Sun Island is beautiful, and the four hours of play have not been finished. Leave a volt and have a chance to come again next time.
Although it has not been completely built yet, the price is favorable during the trial period. You can see the snow sculptures and participate in some play projects. There are not many people. It feels good.
