Things to do in Tonghe

It was during the rhododendron blooming season. The first half of the climb was manageable with gentle slopes, but the second half became quite tiring with steeper slopes. However, the view from the summit was still beautiful. Unfortunately, the glass walkway at the summit was closed this May Day holiday.

Finally checked out Harbin Ice and Snow World! Seeing it in person is the true meaning of a real-life ice and snow fairytale kingdom. The enormous ice castles and towers are all sculpted from ice blocks, crystal clear during the day, and transform into a breathtaking spectacle when the lights come on at night, bathing the entire park in vibrant colors. The popular giant ice slide is thrilling and fun, and there's also a Ferris wheel, ice and snow performances, and interactive stage activities—a wealth of attractions. The ingenuity of the craftsmen has transformed ice blocks into magnificent structures; every step reveals a new vista, making it impossible to stop taking photos. Despite the cold weather, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the service was attentive—a truly worthwhile trip. You absolutely must come back this winter wonderland!

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.

The weather wasn't great the day I went, so overall I'd only give it three stars. It would probably be much more beautiful with better weather. First, the scenic area isn't close to the city center, so it's very inconvenient without a car. It's quite large, and walking around can be tiring. Second, there are a few castles inside that are indeed beautiful, but that's about it. There's not much inside the castles. Overall, the ticket price is too high. The scenic area itself is okay, but considering the ticket price, it's not really worth it.

The Sun Island Panda House is clean and tidy, with spacious areas for the pandas to move around in. You can clearly see the pandas eating and playing. The ticket price is reasonable, and it's a great experience to bring your family. I would recommend it to panda lovers.

I've visited many 5A scenic spots, and this one was a great experience, mainly due to the staff. The bus ticket inspectors were very welcoming, greeting me warmly. Because it was the off-season, there weren't many people, and the driver, worried about missing my waterfall viewing, took the entire shuttle bus just for me – I was very touched. When I travel alone, I ask someone to take my picture, and if it happens, the staff will say "Welcome back next time" afterward – very thoughtful. With the recent popularity of Qing Dynasty dramas, this place recreates some scenes from Ningguta, which is quite interesting. Jingpo Lake itself is also very scenic, with a large body of water. The boat tour takes over an hour and is very comfortable!

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, it is a summer resort. Walking in the primeval forest, the air is fresh and pleasant, the stream is flowing, the trees emit a fragrant smell, and the birds in the woods are chirping. It feels like walking into a paradise!

It's worth visiting both day and night, but the best time to go inside is during the day when there are musical performances. At night, enjoy the exterior lights. The entire square is quite beautiful, but at night, the lights of the surrounding buildings seem too bright, overshadowing the church and creating a sense of intrusion.

Summer vacation is almost here! Southern friends, come to Harbin! Harbin, the "Oriental Paris," exudes a European atmosphere everywhere you look. Walking along Central Street is like stepping into another country, with Russian-style buildings lining both sides. You can even find Russian cuisine to enjoy. Come and experience it!
