DAY 2 Harbin | Embrace the Ice and Snow

After breakfast, your day trip of ice and snow activities begins! First, drive to the winter-limited 18-meter-high giant snowman sculpture and take a photo with this popular photo spot.

Then, head to an amusement park to experience dozens of ice and snow activities all at once, such as a thrilling 300-meter-long ice slide, bumper cars on ice, snowmobile driving, and snow tubing.

Admire the unique combination of Chinese and Western architecture in the Chinese Baroque Street. Some time-honored restaurants are nearby, so you can have lunch there.

Capture the stunning sunset at the Diamond Sea. Bathed in a golden glow, the ice blocks shimmer with an ethereal transparency, mirroring a sea of countless diamonds.

Visit Hengdaohezi Siberian Tiger Park, home to nearly 200 Siberian tigers. Embark on a tour vehicle that traverses the tiger enclosure, experiencing the thrill of being watched by the numerous tigers.

After lunch, begin your exploration of Hengdaohezi Town. Its unique charm is rooted in railway history, Russian architecture, and snow-covered natural beauty. This town is a paradise for photographers in winter—every view looks like a painting. Don't forget to capture photographs at the Railway Crossing that evoke the ambiance of Japan's Hokkaido.
