Just got back from a trip to Harbin! Check out how we played!

You know that feeling! A trip that connects Harbin Ice City, Snow Town's fairy tale world, Changbai Mountain's Heavenly Lake, and Yanji's Korean ethnic flavors was absolutely breathtaking～ I've compiled some super practical tips, just follow them for a worry-free trip! 🧣Travel Essentials ✅Follow the "three-layer rule" for clothing: thermal underwear + wool sweater + long thick down jacket; for bottoms, fleece-lined thermal pants + down pants + windproof pants. Stay warm without being bulky. ✅Must-have items: touchscreen waterproof gloves, Lei Feng hat, windproof mask, hand warmers (for your body + to prevent phone shutdown), sunglasses (to prevent snow blindness), one-size-up non-slip hiking boots. Remember to bring your swimsuit for hot springs at Changbai Mountain! 🚗Transportation Guide ✈️Major transportation: Fly to Harbin/Yanji Airport. For trains, prioritize Harbin Station (close to the city center). 🚘For inter-city travel, we recommend chartering a car or joining a pure-play small group. It's flexible and saves time. Absolutely do not trust roadside illegal taxis or low-price touts to avoid being scammed into unpopular attractions! 📅Itinerary at a Glance 👉D1: Central Street → Saint Sophia Cathedral → Harbin Ice and Snow World → Stay in Harbin 👉D2: Harbin → Yabuli Ski Resort → Horse-drawn Sleigh → Stay in Yabuli 👉D3: Yaxue Highway → Mount Datudingzi → Ice and Snow Gallery → Stay in Snow Town 👉D4: Snow Town → Xueyun Street → Jingpo Lake Winter Fishing → Stay in Erdaobaihe 👉D5: Changbai Mountain Heavenly Lake → Green Deep Pool → Hot Springs → Stay in Erdaobaihe 👉D6: Magic World Rafting → Yanji Folk Park → Internet-famous Bullet Screen Wall → Stay in Yanji 👉D7: Yanji → Water Market → Return from Yanji/Harbin/Changchun 🏨Accommodation Recommendations 🏡In Harbin, choose accommodation around Central Street/Saint Sophia Cathedral for convenient shopping and dining; 🏡In Snow Town, stay in a folk-style heated kang bed for a full experience, book a reputable guesthouse in advance; 🏡In Changbai Mountain, stay in Erdaobaihe, it's close to the scenic area and cost-effective; 🏡In Yanji, choose accommodation near Yanbian University for easy access to skewers at night, avoid cheap and remote guesthouses. 🍜Food Collection 🍱Harbin: Guo Bao Rou (sweet, sour, and crispy), Stewed Pork with Pickled Cabbage and Blood Sausage, Madieer Ice Cream; 🍱Snow Town: Iron Pot Stewed Goose with Corn Pancakes, super warm and comforting; 🍱Changbai Mountain: Hot Spring Eggs (semi-solidified egg whites, super tender and smooth); 🍱Yanji: Skewers + Cold Noodles (a mix of hot and cold), Stone Pot Bibimbap, Kimchi, Ginseng Chicken Soup.

The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is significant, don't take off clothes immediately after sweating to avoid catching a cold; 2. Roads may have ice and snow, walk with small, shuffling steps, and don't put your hands in your pockets; 3. Bring highly moisturizing face cream + lip balm for skincare, Northeast China is very dry; 4. Always ask for prices before consuming at scenic spots, and bring all your identification (some scenic spots offer student discounts); 5. For those with sensitive stomachs, Northeastern cuisine portions are large and tend to be salty, don't eat too many different things at once. Winter in Northeast China truly fulfills all romantic imaginations. Follow this guide and confidently unlock a fairy tale of ice and snow～
