The green treasure in the city center
On the north bank of the Songhua River, between the two districts, with a total area of 88 square kilometers, a planned scenic area of 38 square kilometers, and a peripheral protection area of 50 square kilometers... The story behind these numbers is amazing!
Sun Island is a bright tourist card of Harbin. It's unbelievable that it is located in the city center, a river beach wetland and a grassland-type river ecological zone.
It is divided into three areas: east, middle and west. The east area is the core landscape area, which is so beautiful that it is dazzling! The middle road is a cultural and leisure area, and the west area is a natural ecological area. Each area has its unique charm, such as the Ice and Snow World, One Lake and Three Islands, etc., which will definitely make you linger!
This magical Sun Island is a multifunctional landscape area that integrates European land style, suburban scenery, Northeast folklore, and ice and snow culture. If you have been here, you will know that the treasure in the city center is far more exciting than you think!
How can you miss Sun Island when you travel to Harbin? Come on a trip that you can leave as soon as you say, and feel the green treasure hidden in the city center!

Finally, I captured the 'sea' in Harbin's winter
📝This year, the Songhua River hasn't frozen yet and it coincided with the first snowstorm in Harbin, it's so beautiful! The beach is covered with white snow, and the river reflects the clean blue sky after the snow, just like a seaside city after the snow!
📷Shooting location: The beach under the Sun Island cableway across the river, it is recommended to go at sunset, there will be beautiful sunset glow, and you can also capture the buildings on the other side of the river, full of atmosphere!
📔Hurry up and shoot before the river freezes, it's a sight that can be encountered but not sought! Once it's frozen, it won't feel the same!

Sun Island - Harbin Winter
#skiadventure
A trip to Harbin should include a visit to the Ice Festival and an opportunity to ski. But Sun Island is a wonderful snow sculpture area that is definitely worth a visit. The sculptures link in some way to the Ice Festival however they are made purely of snow. You can take the ice slide here, take the ice bikes and also just enjoy playing around on the snow. Take a break from ski-ing to enjoy what else Harbin can offer.

THE SCENIC SUN ISLAND
Sun Island Scenic Area is the second biggest venue of the annual Harbin Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival and it is best known as the snow sculpture display and competition area.
I spent my late afternoon in there on the 23rd of January 2020. These 3-D images were gigantic. In 2007, one measuring 250 meters in length became the world record holder for the biggest snow sculpture.
The snow sculptures were made from compacted snow so that they can preserve their form and bear weight. The displays were intricate and award winning. ❄️☃️🌨

I visited Sun Island early this morning and it didn’t get crowded until 10am, so if you want pictures without people in the background I suggest you go early. I found these sculptures to be beautiful and I was impressed how much talented the artists are able to demonstrate just using snow. Most of the large sculptures have been completed in the last two weeks. There are still sculptures being created and it’s interesting to watch. Harbin should definitely be on your list of places you’d like to visit.

Harbin | A pristine grassland where you can camp!
| A pristine grassland where you can camp! Right near Harbin's city center, there's a vast grassland! Just over 30 kilometers from the city center, a 40-minute drive, you can also camp here and see herds of cattle and sheep! This place is the Jinniu Island Grassland located in Taiping Town, Daoli District, known by few and extremely pristine, it's a rare paradise near the city center.
Guide: Jinniu Island is located in Taiping Town, Daoli District of Harbin, very close to the airport. Navigate to 'Jinniu Island Fisherman's' for directions. You can take the airport expressway and exit at the second toll station, then follow the airport road to Taiping Town, and then follow the navigation to get there. The road onto the island is unpaved, but passable for sedans. The grassland is beautiful, but when camping, be sure to take your trash with you!

Harbin Travel Recommendation—Sun Island
Harbin's Sun Island is a national AAAAA-level scenic spot and a historic scenic area. Adjacent to the Songhua River, it enjoys a unique advantage as a rare river beach wetland. The scenery is beautiful, and there is different beauty throughout the four seasons. As a local Harbin resident, I recommend that friends who come to Harbin for a visit take a stroll on Sun Island; you will definitely find it worthwhile. The above photo was taken in May 2024, and there are many more beautiful scenes that are picture-perfect even with a casual snap. Admission is free.
Upon entering Sun Island, the first thing that catches your eye is the rippling Songhua River, with the sunlight casting golden glimmers on the water, forming a stark contrast with the lush greenery of the island, like a vivid ink painting. Strolling along the riverbank, you will see rows of tall and straight birch trees, which show different styles with the changing seasons: the fresh green of spring, the lushness of summer, the golden yellow of autumn, and the silver-clad winter, each season has its unique charm!

Here, you can stroll along Central Street, experiencing the blend of European flair and historical charm; visit Sun Island, enjoying the tranquility of lush trees and the beauty of lake and mountain scenery; tour the Saint Sophia Cathedral, to be awed by its magnificent architecture and cultural depth.
Summer in Harbin is cool and pleasant, making it an excellent choice to escape the heat. Savoring delicious sausages and kvass, you can feel the warmth and vitality of this city.

The Snow Expo, a winter spectacle!
The Sun Island is a river island located on the north bank of the Songhua River in Harbin city. In the early years, the Manchu people fished and hunted here, and the Songhua River was abundant with a type of fish whose name in Manchu sounds very similar to the Mandarin word for 'sun', hence the name 'Sun Island'.
As a southerner, this was my first time watching so many snow sculptures up close, and it was stunning! There are also various activities in the scenic area, and if you're not in a hurry, you can try them all. It's an experience I've never had before!
This year's Snow Expo ended on February 26th. Those interested can wait for the next season's Snow Expo!

Transportation: Get off at Sun Island Station on Metro Line 2
Hours: 9:00-17:00, ticket sales stop at 16:00, and entry stops at 16:30

One-day trip to Sun Island
Sun Island Scenic Area
As someone from Heilongjiang, it was also my first time playing on Sun Island. The summer in Harbin is really cool, perfect for escaping the heat. There are many ways to get to Sun Island; you can take the subway directly to the main entrance. We took the cable car, which costs 80 yuan for a round trip, to enjoy the view of the Songhua River, and you can also take the ferry. When visiting Sun Island, you must take the sightseeing bus instead of walking. Walking might exhaust you. The sightseeing bus stops at each scenic spot, allowing you to get off and explore. Sun Island does not charge an entrance fee, and touring around takes about 3 hours.

Harbin is not only about the Ice and Snow World, but also the Sun Island
❤Reason for recommendation:
The first time I came across this place, I was really shocked. This 18-meter-tall giant dragon snow sculpture, themed around the Chinese dragon, was carved by 16 snow sculptors in 7 days. The 'Dragon Soaring over the Mountain of Fortune' signifies peace and prosperity in the Dragon Year of 2024.
In addition, there are more than 200 snow sculptures of various sizes for appreciation here, and each one is very exquisitely carved, lifelike, and even more shocking to the naked eye than the photos. I can't help but exclaim 'wow' all the way with my friends. It has to be said that Harbin is really worth it.
📍Detailed address:
Harbin Sun Island Scenic Area Snow Expo
Tickets: Adults 198, Elderly and Students 128
⏳Play time: 08:00-17:00
🚉Travel strategy:
Take Metro Line 2 to 'Sun Island' Station, Exit 3 is the entrance to the scenic area.
Due to the approaching New Year, the festive atmosphere of the scenic area is great, perfectly matched with the red and fiery Jia Duo Bao. To welcome the arrival of the Dragon Year, Jia Duo Bao has launched 4 New Year Fortune Dragon cans (Wealth Dragon, Health Dragon, Good Match Dragon, Auspicious Dragon), symbolizing wealth, happiness, good match, and good luck for everyone in the Dragon Year of 2024. The New Year's blessings are really thoughtful~
Among them, I like the 'Welcoming Spring and Fortune, Attracting Wealth and Prosperity' of the Wealth Dragon, and the 'Good Luck and Fortune, Blessings and Prosperity' presented by the Auspicious Dragon, which really match the giant dragon snow sculpture of this Dragon Year, with a promising future!
🌟Highlights:
In addition to the dragon snow sculpture, there are large and small snow sculptures, snowmen, koi, blue and white porcelain, etc., 232 snow art works for viewing, endless, simply endless.
You can also experience ice Ferris wheel, slide, sliding ring and other ice and snow activities, which are really interesting.
Enjoy the snow in the New Year, attract wealth and prosperity in the coming year, accompanied by good luck~

Crazy SNOW DRIFT CIRCLE ⭕️ on River 🏎️
#freehotelstay It was a mind-blowing experience in Harbin. Im the guy who used to live in the southern part of the world. In Snow and Ice, these activities were the best ride till now in my lifetime. The interesting thing is that you do need to buy entry tickets for these activities. In total, there were 10 rides but I took one of these with 50 RMB which was worth it. Tip: If you do not have enough time to visit the whole place of Sun Island and spend 196 Rmb. I think you should try this under the bridge of the island. Cheers. 🥂 #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #iceandsnow #harbin
