Siberia Tiger Park in Heilongjiang is located on the north bank of the Songhua River in Harbin and officially opened to the public in 1996. It is a themed park integrating Siberian tiger breeding, scientific research and conservation, science education, and tourism. The park features several visiting areas, including the free-roaming zone, walking zone, tiger viewing platform, feeding and science education center, maple plaza, and cub playground. The free-roaming zone requires visitors to ride a tour bus through the area, where, under safe guidance, they can observe herds of Siberian tigers up close, watch them being fed, and feel the thrill of tigers pacing, staring, and even approaching the bus windows. The other areas can be explored on foot. In addition to purebred Siberian tigers, the park is also home to various rare felines, including white tigers, white lions, ligers, leopards, caracals, servals, and leopard cats. At the cub playground, visitors can see tiger cubs and lion cubs, making it a favorite spot for families. The park features distinct scenery across the four seasons, with winter and summer being particularly outstanding. In winter, amidst the blanket of white snow, the brightly colored Siberian tigers stand out strikingly against the snowy backdrop; in summer, with lush vegetation, tiger tracks can be seen everywhere, offering a unique touch of wild charm.

3.1k reviews

The Sun Island Scenic Area is a small island located on the north bank of the Songhua River in Harbin City. In the early years, the Manchu people fished and hunted here. The Songhua River is rich in squid. In the Manchu language, the pronunciation of this type of fish is very similar to the pronunciation of "Sun" in Chinese. It has been known as "Sun Island" ever since the name was passed down a long time ago. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Sun Island was developed and utilized as a naval battalion, and was later used as a base for the navy to reconnoiter and train. Today, the natural scenery of Sun Island is exceptionally beautiful, and the landscape inside the park represents a perfect interpretation of the harmony between humankind and nature. The island has plenty of European villa buildings, where the Russian people come to spend their summer breaks.
