Spent 7 days playing in Harbin! My spending habits have collapsed!

This winter, come with me to explore the magical northern fairyland! Bite into glowing candied hawthorn on the street at -20°C, stay on a warm kang bed and watch mushroom houses in the fairy-tale Snow Town, make a wish at Changbai Mountain, and be a Korean ethnic princess for a day in Yanji~ 🧳【Travel Essentials】 ✅Thick down jacket + waterproof snow boots are life-saving gear ✅Bring plenty of warm packs! Both your phone and you need them ✅A thermos for hot water anytime is really important ✅Sunscreen + sunglasses (snow glare is super strong) ✅Ice cleats for grip + power bank (battery drains fast in cold) 🚗【Round-trip Transportation】 ✅Recommend flying into Harbin and out from Yanji to avoid backtracking ✅From Snow Town to Changbai Mountain, be sure to find a reputable car team ✅If chartering a car, choose snow tires, safety first 📅【Itinerary Overview】 👉D1: Gather in Harbin → Central Street → Saint Sophia Cathedral → Stay in Harbin 👉D2: Harbin → Yabuli Ski Resort → Horse-drawn sled → Stay in Yabuli 👉D3: Yaxue Highway → Datudingzi Mountain → Ice and Snow Gallery → Stay in Snow Town 👉D4: Snow Town → Xueyun Street → Jingpo Lake Winter Fishing → Stay in Erdaobaihe 👉D5: Changbai Mountain Tianchi (Heaven Lake) → Green Pool → Hot Springs → Stay in Erdaobaihe 👉D6: Demon Realm Rafting → Yanji Folk Culture Park → Popular Barrage Wall → Stay in Yanji 👉D7: Yanji → Water Market → Return from Yanji/Harbin/Changchun 🏡【Accommodation Recommendations】 ✅Harbin: Stay near Central Street for super convenience ✅Snow Town: Must experience the special kang bed ✅Changbai Mountain: Choose a hot spring hotel in Erdaobaihe Town ✅Yanji: Lots of delicious food around the university area 🍜【Food Highlights】 ✅Harbin: Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork), Madie’er popsicles, iron pot stew ✅Snow Town: Frozen persimmons, iron pot stewed goose ✅Changbai Mountain: Hot spring eggs, wild vegetables ✅Yanji: Rice cake, barbecue, cold noodles, snow ice ⚠️【Important Reminders】 ✅Book Snow Town accommodation well in advance! ✅Changbai Mountain Tianchi opening depends on weather ✅Stick warm packs inside your pocket for your phone ✅Check many photos before choosing Yanji photo studios ✅Always ask the price before any spending!
