Things to do in Heilongjiang

A beautiful place filled with stunning ice sculptures illuminated by colourful lights. I had such a wonderful time exploring the place, although the temperature was extremely cold. However, getting a Didi ride back at night was very difficult, so I had no choice but to take the bus instead.

A great place for visitors of all ages, from babies to the elderly! The park is very family-friendly and offers a unique experience for everyone.The bus driver who took us into the tiger park was very professional and knowledgeable. You can even buy meat directly from the driver on the bus to feed the tigers, which makes the experience even more exciting!There are so many tigers in the park that it is truly impressive and almost unbelievable to see them up close. It’s a fascinating experience to observe these magnificent animals in their natural-like environment.Overall, it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Harbin. Highly recommended for families, animal lovers, and anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience!

This guided tour offers exceptional value, allowing you to avoid crowds and see the iconic spiral staircase, crystal chandelier, and expansive banquet hall. You'll appreciate the most classic features and learn about the history and construction techniques of Harbin Pharmaceutical Group No. 6 Factory, as well as Chinese and Russian oil paintings and prints. Finally, you can even try your hand at printmaking!

The famous Harbin Pharmaceutical Group No. 6 Factory produces many brand-name drugs. The historic European-style buildings are beautiful and photogenic! The print exhibition is also quite artistic. The free restaurant offers excellent value for money!

After visiting the Tiger Park, we took a taxi to Sun Island and then prepared to take the cable car back to our hotel across the river. Since it was a weekday, there weren't many tourists, and we got on without queuing. When the cable car reached its highest point, the panoramic view of Sun Island, the Songhua River, and the city was breathtaking. We even saw a flock of seagulls! A trip to Harbin definitely includes taking the cross-river cable car at least once.

Easy to find the pick-up location, staff is supportive and the information is provided clearly.

Standing beside the boundary marker, a sense of pride welled up within me, a feeling of being at the northernmost tip of our motherland. The compass square and unique sculptures in the village are very well-designed; every snapshot is a masterpiece. Looking at the border scenery under the blue sky and white clouds, I felt incredibly at ease. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the ultimate northern charm! 😋

Wow! Be mindful of the season when visiting the island. This park isn't primarily for tourists; it's more popular with locals and residents. The weather is very important when you go, so make sure to check the weather forecast carefully, as it can get a little chilly. The park itself is quite large and has a Russian theme. The town also has a panda enclosure, which costs extra. The pandas are very cooperative; there are two in total, and they're incredibly cute. If it's not too crowded, the experience is fantastic.

The shuttle bus ticket is a must-buy because the main gate is really far away. It seems like it's essential, especially since you have to walk a long way after getting off the shuttle. There's a speedboat that goes directly there, but it's unnecessary. Although the walk is tiring, the scenery is beautiful, and you can see several red-crowned cranes strolling along the roadside every now and then.

Definitely worth a visit! Highly recommend the Polar Pavilion (six main pavilions, showcasing a wide variety of polar animals, including polar bears, Arctic wolves, Antarctic penguins, sea lions, meerkats, capybaras, flamingos, raccoons, etc.). Impression: Feminine friendly (specifically, there's an emergency phone number in the women's restroom). My unexpected period caused weakness, but thankfully, staff provided free sanitary napkins – a lifesaver! Thank goodness! Suggested improvement: Replace scented sanitary napkins with unscented ones. Many people experience allergic reactions to these, making the discomfort worse.
