Harbin Fairy Tale Town: The Christmas Atmosphere Can't Be Hidden

Winter in Harbin always holds a surprising romance. The Polarland Christmas Town, as soon as it appears, feels like bringing a Nordic fairy tale here. The moment you step inside, even your breath carries a sweet sense of anticipation. A huge crystal ball stands in the snow. Step inside and stand still, and the Christmas trees and wooden cabins outside become a natural backdrop. A snap of your hand makes it feel like you're trapped inside the illustrations of a fairy tale book. Various shaped Christmas trees crowd together; some hang bells, others are wrapped in colorful lights. Reds and greens contrast vividly against the white snow, making every photo lively. The windows of the wooden cabins glow warmly. During the day, slanting sunlight shines in, casting checkered shadows on the snow. When the lights come on at dusk, it’s even more magical—the golden light wrapped in snowy mist makes you almost hear the crackling fire in the fireplace. To get photos without people, go early on a weekday when the park opens. You might still run into a few people vying for spots, but it’s much better than the crowded weekends. Wearing white or blue clothes makes for the best photos; wrap a red scarf around your neck, and you’ll stand out perfectly in the snow. Just don’t be like me and tough it out— the cold wind from the north bank feels like little knives, and after half an hour, my fingers were bright red. Gloves and a thick down jacket are a must; otherwise, the saying “beauty is freezing” is no joke. Take the subway to Sun Island Station, then walk a few steps to get there. When you’re tired of walking, sit on a wooden bench, watch others swinging on the swings, and listen to the laughter coming from afar. Suddenly, you realize that in this below-zero temperature, the most genuine happiness is hidden. No need to envy Christmas in Northern Europe. Take a stroll here— the snow is sweet, the light is warm, and even the wind carries the scent of a fairy tale. This winter, come to Harbin for this romantic rendezvous.
