[Harbin Scenery] Winter Date with Harbin Ice and Snow World and Diamond Sea

❤Recommended reason: Harbin Ice and Snow World is already famous nationwide, and its beauty is beyond words. But there is actually another popular attraction, Diamond Sea, nearby. It is a pile of leftover ice blocks from Harbin Ice and Snow World on the river beach, and it looks like diamonds in photos. If Harbin Ice and Snow World is a masterpiece, then Diamond Sea is a hidden gem. 🗓Itinerary: First, take a taxi to Diamond Sea (navigate to Shatan Tribe) and spend 1 hour taking photos. If you are lucky, you will meet someone selling hot water and helping you record a video of throwing hot water into the air to freeze. The backlit scene in the morning is perfect for photos. Then walk to the entrance of Harbin Ice and Snow World (about 1 km). Although Harbin Ice and Snow World is not very large, there are many places to visit and play, and many of them require queuing. Plus, you can go to the big stage to dance. To have fun, you must stay until the evening. ✅Must-try: The big slide and Ferris wheel depend on luck. I prefer Diamond Sea. If you encounter the hot water throwing, you must try it. 🍽Dining recommendation: There is a food court in Harbin Ice and Snow World, with many fast food options, but you need to queue during peak dining hours. 💰Average cost: Ticket price is CNY 325. There are additional paid services for tour guides and travel photography. The tour guide will take you on a simple tour for about 45 minutes and take photos at designated landmarks. If you are traveling with a group, you can pay CNY 260 for a tour guide. Travel photography seems to cost more than CNY 300, which is more suitable for families/couples/friends traveling together. 🧳Preparation: It is very cold in Harbin Ice and Snow World, so keep warm. Phone warmers and large-capacity power banks are essential. 🕙Opening hours: 10:00–22:00 ⏳Duration: 0.5–1 day
