[2025 Harbin Stay] Travel Guide for Volga Manor (Updated Mar)

Let me share the beauty of my journey with you. ❄️ I declare! Harbin is worth visiting this year. Harbin in winter is so romantic. The super beautiful snowman is a limited edition for the Year of the Snake. Various ice sculptures in the Ice and Snow World. The sunset glow on the Diamond Beach. This travel guide is for you. Save it! ‼️ 📚[Travel Route] Day 1: Arrive in Harbin at noon - Yanjia Gang Farm - St. Sophia Cathedral - Central Street Day 2: Hengdaohezi - Snow World - Bathing Day 3: Music Gallery - Bund Snowman Wharf - Ice and Snow World - Diamond Beach Day 4: Volga Manor - Return ❄️[5 Things Worth Experiencing in Harbin] 1️⃣ Go to the Ice and Snow World to see ice sculptures. For a southerner like me, if you want to play the projects, you have to enter the park as soon as it opens, otherwise, you will have to wait in line for a long time. If you just want to take photos and enjoy the scenery, you can enter the park at about 2 pm. It will be dark after a while, and the sunset and night view are also great. 2️⃣ Go to Hengdaohezi to see the village in the fairy tale. Overlook the whole village from the hillside, and you will fall in love with it. There is also a Siberian Tiger Park nearby, which you can visit if you like. 3️⃣ Go skiing. I went to Snow World, the largest indoor ski resort in Harbin. It is very close to the city and very convenient to get to. There are several ski slopes with different gradients, but it is very friendly to a beginner like me. If you like skiing, you can try it. It is a great experience. 4️⃣ Go to Diamond Beach to watch the sunset. Navigate to the Beach Tribe, and you will reach the Diamond Sea from the parking lot next to it! There are many people in front, so remember to walk more towards the sun, and there will be fewer people. Remember to arrive at 3 pm. 5️⃣ Go to Yanjia Gang Farm to see the most beautiful snowman. It is the most beautiful snowman in Harbin this year, no doubt. There are also many snowmen, which are very photogenic. It is very close to the airport. 🍔[Food + Entertainment] You must try Northeastern cuisine when you arrive in Harbin! My favorite is Northeastern dumplings and barbecue. You can also try Russian cuisine! In the evening, find a bathhouse to experience the bathing culture of the Northeast. Very nice! Travel tips: 👔Clothes: Long down jacket, cotton pants, hat, earmuffs, scarf, warm mask, thermal underwear, snow boots 📱Phone: The phone runs out of power quickly, so prepare a large-capacity power bank. I will visit more mountains and lakes, and see more vast stars and seas. I will keep traveling and updating!

I recommend staying here if you're visiting, it's very convenient. 📍 Volga Manor A very large snow village with lots of photo spots. You can walk around all day. The entrance fee is 168 yuan/person. We went by ourselves and called a didi car from the city. The fare there was about 55 yuan and the fare back was about 80 yuan. 📍 Yabuli ski resort If you want to try skiing, we recommend this place. It's not expensive. We took the train from Harbin Station to Yabulixi and stayed there for 1 night.

After the ice slide, wander through the manors wide area and photograph all that can be seen. There are many interesting buildings here that should be witnessed.

Harbin trip is like a dreamy trip of mine. January is the peak winter season which can reach -20 amd below. During my visit of 4 days in Harbin the lowest I ever experienced was -27!!! Its freezing cold and cool…here is my journal for 4 days in lovely Harbin. Day 1- Check in Harbin Sweet Post Office Youth Hostel. Direct to the Daowai Mosque area, Sophia Square and then to Zhongyang Street. Day 2- Volga Manor using DiDi. Its quite convenient to transport using Didi here in Harbin. Ticket for Volga Manor is 168 yuan per pax. I spent for about 3 hours there playing with the snow. After that I repeat Zhongyang street for shopping. Day 3- Songhua River sightseeing, ride the cableway starting from the Snow Castle to the Sun Island. It is easy and beautiful scenery of Songhua river. After that I roam around the Shn Island dPark before go to the Ice & Snow World using metro line 3. I enjoyed the Ice & Snow World theme park with riding the ice slide, tube sliding. Its cold there make sure you wear proper attire. Day 4 - I visit the morning market at the Daowai Mosque area shopping all kinds of nuts and fruits. Its very fresh and delicious. After that I went to the Diamond Sea or known as Beach Tribe at the west Harbin near the Sun Island using DiDi. Its was very beautiful and stunning view. To get the sunset vibe and most perfect color view make sure to arrive after 3.00 pm until 4.30pm. After 4.30pm the police guard at the gate will not allow entrance anymore.
