Harbin's winter fairy tale has begun❄️, and this time staying at the Central Street Dagongguan 1903 Hotel instantly transported me back to the era of Tsarist Russia! The century-old elevator ding-donged, crystal chandeliers cast a golden shimmer, and even the staff wear vintage uniforms—an authentic immersive Russian aristocratic experience~ 🏛️ A noble mansion crossing a century • Century-old elevator: The Otis elevator made in Germany in 1903 is still in operation, with a brass dashboard and hollow carved railings. For photos, it’s recommended to wear a vintage dress and fur shawl to instantly capture shots like those from "The Grand Budapest Hotel." • Russian-style corridor: The dome murals in the lobby lounge recreate the style of the Tsar’s Winter Palace. The afternoon tea set’s caviar crackers and kvass are must-tries. • Secret bonus: Every day at 6 PM, a butler leads guests on a tour of the building, explaining the history of Harbin’s opening hidden in the patterns of the wall lamps. 🚶♀️ Golden C-spot walking guide • 5 minutes to Saint Sophia Cathedral, recommended to go at 8 AM to shoot the snow scene without crowds. During the festival, the lobby transforms into a fantasy theater: stained glass reflects candlelight, and the century-old wine cabinet is decorated with mistletoe wreaths. Remember to wear a red sweater for vintage Christmas card photos! • The hotel’s back door leads directly to the Hongzhuan Street morning market, where you can enjoy frozen pears and candied hawthorn alongside freshly fried cakes. • The cobblestone street of Central Street is fully visible from the hotel window, and watching the streetlights gradually light up at night is super romantic. 🍽️ Breakfast with a Russian brunch vibe Hidden menu in the semi-buffet breakfast: ask for the freshly pan-fried Russian beef tongue by room number! Homemade sour cream with blueberry sauce is amazing, plus the traditional Guobaorou (sweet and sour pork) guided by a descendant of the old chef (yes, you can have it for breakfast). 🎄 Winter atmosphere at its peak During Christmas, the lobby transforms into a fantasy theater: stained glass reflects candlelight, and the century-old wine cabinet is decorated with mistletoe wreaths.
