When I was young, I lived in the suburbs of Northeast China for a short time. Now, in my 40s, I often remember the tile roofed house I lived in and the hot Kang I slept on in the snowy winter, as well as the taste of sticky bean buns, stewed sauerkraut, green onion dipped in soy sauce, frozen pear and frozen persimmon, which belong to the Northeast winter.

Just a few days before New Year's Eve, I went into the ice and snow kingdom of Northeast China to enjoy the dreamlike fairy tale world.

Main attractions

Hand-grasped mutton

Also known as the imperial palace of Houjin and Shengjing, it was the Early Imperial Palace of Qing Dynasty.

The main buildings are Dazheng hall, Shiwang Pavilion, Chongzheng Hall and so on. Together with the Forbidden City in Beijing, they constitute the only two complete Ming and Qing palace buildings in China.

Rime Island

An island on the Songhua River, located in Wula Street Manchu Town, more than 40 kilometers north of Jilin City.

Because the island is flat and surrounded by water, and there are many elms and willows with different attitudes on the island, in winter, under the premise of large temperature difference between day and night and no wind, it is very easy to form tree hanging, that is, rime. It is the best place to enjoy rime and watch sunrise and sunset.

Snow Country

Xuexiang National Forest Park is located in the Shuangfeng forest farm of Hailin City, Heilongjiang Province. Due to the long snow period, good snow quality and high snow viscosity, snow has various shapes and forms under the action of wind, creating a dreamlike fairy tale world of ice and snow.

Hagia Sophia

Located in Daoli District of Harbin, it is a Byzantine Orthodox Church.

The whole building is magnificent and unique. The onion dome has become a landmark of Harbin.

Central Street

The most prosperous commercial pedestrian street in Harbin starts from Jingwei street in the South and ends at the flood control memorial tower along the Songhua River in the north.

There are many unique European style buildings on the street. Compared with Wangfujing Street and other domestic famous pedestrian streets in Beijing, it has more strong cultural and artistic atmosphere.

Sun island snow Expo

The annual Harbin Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Art Expo (referred to as the snow Expo, the 28th session of this year) is the visual art feast of snow.

In the scenic area, the large-scale snow castle is magnificent, and various theme sculptures are vivid and beautiful.

Walking into the snow Expo scenic area is like walking into the pure white ice and snow kingdom.

Experience and suggestions

clothing

During this trip, I was dressed in cashmere hat, cashmere scarf, slim and warm underwear, cashmere sweater, thick down jacket, two pairs of ultra-thin warm autumn pants, jeans, thick socks, high top warm outdoor shoes and warm photography gloves. I didn't feel cold at the lowest temperature of - 20 degrees. The addition and subtraction of the above clothes vary from person to person.

If you have plans to travel through the snow, it is recommended that you wear waterproof clothes and pants with snow cover, snow stick and ice claws. Friends who go to rime Island suggest wearing masks or other warm products that can cover the face. The wind is hard by the river in the early morning.

Camera protection

When it doesn't snow, the camera warm cover is optional, but the sealed bag is essential.

Northeast winter, indoor and outdoor temperature difference is huge, such as tripod, in outdoor use for a period of time, take into the house will immediately full of water. Therefore, in order to avoid camera condensation, before entering a warm place from a cold place, the camera must be sealed with a sealed bag. When the camera freezes naturally and the temperature is basically the same as the room temperature, the camera can be taken out.

Camera battery

My 5d3 and original batteries are used normally in cold areas, and there is no phenomenon of rapid decline in power. However, it is recommended to reserve 1-2 more batteries, even if they are from the auxiliary factory, so that they are well prepared.

On rime

The formation of rime island is affected by many natural factors, such as temperature, temperature difference, wind force and so on. Only in the cold season, when there is no wind or breeze, and the temperature difference between morning and night is large, the water vapor in the air condenses into ice on the branches and wires, forming rime, which can be met but not sought. Don't regret if you don't see rime. Rime is not the whole of rime island. There are more beautiful scenery waiting for us to discover and appreciate.

Strategy of ticket evasion in the dreamland scenic spot of Xuexiang

Dream home can be said to be the cream of the snow village, but the high ticket price has deterred many people. In fact, according to personal experience, this scenic spot can evade tickets.

Snow town is not big. There is a 500 meter long Xueyun street running through the north and south of the scenic area. There are huge stones engraved with "China snow town". One end of the stone is the north end of the street. Dream home is located on the west side of Xueyun street. You can choose to walk to the west side of the south end of the street at the time when the staff of Xuexiang scenic area are not strictly supervised (such as in the morning), where there is a warning sign that says "no tourists are allowed to enter the scenic area if it is not open", climb the hill on the west side along a narrow path, and then go north to reach the viewing platform of dreamland scenic area, and then go down to the scenic area.

Be sure to remember: you must walk along the footprints when you go up the mountain, because the footprints are likely to be snow pits! Remember! Remember! Remember!

cultural difference

Northeasterners are straightforward and extensive. They often add elements of banter and ridicule to their speech. They often have a little proud tone, which may also be unpleasant. However, it is unnecessary to misunderstand or worry because of cultural differences and different ways of expression.

Travel notes

Day1 Capital Airport - Shenyang Taoxian International Airport

Accommodation: Crowne Plaza, Zhongshan, Shenyang

Highlights: the solemn Zhongshan Square

The original plan of this trip was to go straight to Wusong Island, but the high-speed rail ticket from Beijing to Jilin City has been sold out, so I chose to fly to Shenyang for transit, just to make time to visit Shenyang Palace Museum.

At 12:50 on February 2, the flight took off from the capital airport on time.

On that day, the weather in Beijing was still fine. The plane rose to mid air. Looking out from the porthole, the mountains in the distance were clearly visible.

More than an hour later, the flight landed at Shenyang Taoxian International Airport.

Crowne Plaza Shenyang Zhongshan is located in the North Street of Nanjing, Heping District, near Zhongshan Square. Is an international chain, cost-effective five-star hotel.

Spring Festival is approaching, the hotel lobby layout is very festive.

After checking in, I decided to go to Zhongshan Square near the hotel first, and then to Shenyang Palace Museum.

Turn left when you get out of the hotel and go straight not far. It's Zhongshan Square, a symbol of Shenyang's history.

In the center of the square stands a huge statue of Comrade Mao Zedong. At sunset, the great man is energetic, kind and kind, waving his hand to guide the front.

There are four groups of group sculptures on the base of the statue, which fully shows the history of modern Chinese revolution and the historical picture of the people of all ethnic groups marching forward bravely with the great leader Chairman Mao.

Around Zhongshan Square, Dahe Hotel (now Liaoning Hotel) is built successively; Yokohama Zhengjin bank Fengtian sub branch (now ICBC Zhongshan Plaza sub branch); The puppet Fengtian police department (now Shenyang Public Security Bureau); Mitsui Building (now China Merchants Bank Zhongshan Road sub branch); Bank of Korea, Japan, Fengtian sub branch (today's Huaxia Bank, Zhongshan Road sub branch); European and Japanese style buildings, such as Toyo colonization Co., Ltd. Fengtian branch (now Shenyang Federation of trade unions) and Manchurian Railway Fengtian local office (now Shenyang Railway Bureau Public Security Office), have been endowed with new functions.

Get out of the square and get ready to take a taxi to Shenyang Palace Museum.

It's really hard to take a taxi in Shenyang during the peak hours. More than half an hour later, I'm still standing in the same place, watching the bustling crowd and the creeping traffic.

It was getting dark, so I decided to go to the Forbidden City the next morning.

Dinner was served in a small Japanese tavern beside the hotel. Fried chicken, squid, and rice were served with tea.

Day2 Shenyang North Jilin Wusong Island (Hantun)

Accommodation: Wusong Island Zhangjia Inn

Highlights: the unique Shenyang Palace Museum and the golden dusk of rime Island

The opening hours of Shenyang Palace Museum from November to April are 9:00 every year.

As the high-speed railway to Jilin City leaves at 11:30, I can only visit the Forbidden City for an hour at most, and I can only take a quick look. At 8:30 a.m., I took a taxi to the square in front of the gate of the Forbidden City. Several people were waiting for tickets.

The golden tile red wall of the Forbidden City in the morning light is solemn and elegant.

In front of the palace gate, there are two tall archways across the street - "Wende archway" and "Wugong archway". According to the position of "Wendong and Wuxi", they stand on both sides of the palace gate.

As soon as the opening hours arrive, visitors will enter.

Shenyang Palace Museum is composed of three groups of buildings in the East, middle and West.

From south to north, there are daqingmen, Chongzhengdian, fenghuanglou, Wugong and back garden on the central axis;

The eastern district is composed of Dazheng hall and Shiwang Pavilion;

The western district includes Diguang palace, Baoji palace, Jiayin hall, Wensu Pavilion, stage and so on.

The buildings on the central axis are the main part of the palace museum complex in Shenyang, arranged according to the pattern of the former dynasty and the latter.

"Daqingmen" is the "Meridian Gate" of Shenyang Palace Museum, which separates the outside world.

Chongzheng Hall is located in the center of the central axis, also known as the "Jinluan hall". It is the emperor's office where he manages the daily affairs.

In the hall, the black lacquer gold plaque of "Zhengda Guangming" above the throne was written by Emperor Qianlong.

The architectural decoration of Chongzheng Hall is extremely exquisite. The combination of colorful glass components, glazed tile roof with yellow heart and green edge, and wood carvings under the eaves makes Chongzheng Hall more colorful and magnificent.

Phoenix Tower is very much like a castle. It is the highest building in the Forbidden City, connecting the former dynasty and the back palace.

During the period of Huangtaiji, emperors and concubines enjoyed cool scenery here. During the Qianlong period, this building was also used to store some important palace cultural relics.

There are five palaces on the north side of Fenghuang building, which are the dormitories of emperors and empresses. The main hall facing south is Qingning palace, the residence of empress.

In contrast to the "high palace and low Palace" in Beijing, the two halls of Chongzheng and Dazheng in Shenyang palace museum were built on the flat ground, while the dormitory was built on the high platform, forming a "high palace and low Palace".

In my personal opinion, the Dazheng hall in the middle of the north of the eastern district should be the most distinctive and representative palace in Shenyang Imperial Palace. It looks like an octagonal pavilion with double roof, commonly known as octagonal hall. This hall was the place where the country held major celebrations at that time.

Dazheng hall and the ten King Pavilion on both sides constitute the most solemn and sacred building complex of the Forbidden City.

The Golden Dragon on the column outside the gate of Dazheng hall is very lifelike.

The black lacquer gold plaque of "taijiaojingyun" hanging in the hall is written by Emperor Qianlong himself.

I like the stone lions in different shapes in the Forbidden City. They are very interesting when they are photographed against the background of the palace and red walls.

Due to time constraints, the western part of the Forbidden City just took a few photos and went to Shenyang north station.

Later, compared with the introduction on the Internet, we found out the name and function of the temple.

Generally speaking, although the scale of Shenyang palace museum can not be compared with that of Beijing Palace Museum, the layout, structure and decoration details of Shenyang Palace Museum not only reflect the architectural characteristics of ethnic minorities in Northeast China, but also are influenced by the palace buildings in Central China. It is a demonstration of the integration and development of different ethnic cultures in China.

Yoshino, who was in the waiting hall, had a bowl of beef rice in a hurry and got on the g8007 bound for Jilin.

The high-speed railway has entered the world of ice and snow as it passes through villages on the vast snow plain and runs smoothly and rapidly.

When the bus arrives at Jilin station, the Chartered driver has been waiting at the exit. Simple greetings, know that I am a fellow townsman in Northeast China, so, the fellow townsman see fellow townsman, words are particularly long.

To watch rime on rime Island, you can choose zengtong village on the island and Hantun on the east side of Songhua River outside the island. There are many inns in these two villages. For this trip to rime Island, I chose Zhangjia Inn in Hantun.

It's more than 40 kilometers from Jilin station to Hantun, and it's very fast in the conversation. An hour later, the car had entered Hantun village.

The afternoon sunlight sprinkles on the street, everywhere is suffused with the golden color.

Not far away is the courtyard of Zhangjia inn.

Push the door to enter, warm, 35 guests are sitting around the hall of the big Kang, hot playing cards.

Greeting each other with Miss Zhang Yang, the beautiful lady boss of the inn, checking in and entering the reserved room.

The room is small but warm, with a Kang, a table, a small bathroom and nothing else.

I took a hot bath to get rid of my tiredness. Lying on the warm Kang (water heating, the principle is similar to floor heating), straight waist, although not quite adapt to the hardness of Kang, but in the northeast of the ice and snow, can have a warm space of their own, even if simple, is not happiness?

After a short rest, I decided to go to the riverside first.

Turn left out of the Inn and go straight for about 400 meters to reach the Songhua River Wharf. Several old elms in the backlight, formed a strong sense of the screen silhouette effect.

The setting sun reddened the river, while the snow reflected the golden luster. There are only a few tourists on the river bank looking at the rime island on the other side, waiting for the sunset.

It's windy, it's cold, and my heart is getting cold. It seems that the chance of rime in the morning is not big. We should know that the formation of rime is greatly affected by natural factors. Temperature, temperature difference and wind all determine whether rime can appear and the degree of rime formation.

Alas, it's up to people to plan and heaven to make things happen. Let's settle down as we come.

At this time, the setting sun sets in the west, and the floating ice on the river is more crystal clear.

"The sky is long, the sun is far away, the water is clean, the cold wave is flowing.".

Compared with the warmth of sunrise, I prefer the tenderness of sunset. The afterglow reddened the sunset glow in the sky, sprinkled on the river and the trees on the island, and the river was shining. The dusk on rime island is really beautiful.

When the last rays of the sky faded, the night came quietly.

The light of the inn lights up, and the heat is attached to the windows, forming a frosting effect, revealing the deep warmth of the room.

The night in Hantun village is quiet

After dinner (stewed pork ribs with beans and rice), I lay on the warm Kang, looking forward to the emergence of rime tomorrow morning. I lost sleep

Day3 rime Island (Hantun) - Snow Village

Accommodation: Zhao Shenglin hotel in Xuexiang

Highlights: rime island without rime, dreamlike night in snow country

I had no sleep all night, but I got the sad news at 5:00 in the morning. The strong wind at night dispersed the fog on the river. I can't see the rime today.

Loss is written on everyone's face. Some people are ready to continue to live and wait for the next day to watch the rime, so they go back to sleep.

And I, since I got up early (I didn't sleep all night), would like to see the sunrise.

No rime, there is no need to go to the island, save 60 yuan of landing fees.

It's really cold by the river at more than 6 o'clock, and the wind is like a knife. No way, had to cover his face with a scarf, soon eyebrows, scarf on a layer of frost.

There is a soft red light in the sky, and the crescent moon is still high in the sky.

Red light accumulates energy and diffuses. On the levee, a tree and two people outline a beautiful picture.

The sunrise of rime island is faster than that of sunset. As soon as Chaoyang shop is exposed, it jumps out. Visitors also record the dynamic pictures of their companions in this sunrise.

Walking along the river, the river is steaming with light fog, the sun is reflected on the snow, and the corn stalks and withered grass after harvest are coated with a beautiful layer of Warm gold.

The rime island on the other side is bathed in the warm sunrise. It is golden everywhere. Everything is so peaceful and beautiful.

How long does it take to land from the dock? Take a look at the figure below and you'll come to a conclusion.

Originally planned to live in rime island for 2 days, but the wind by the river told me that there might still be no rime tomorrow morning. Then stop gambling and change your plan to go to snow country.

The beauty boss of the inn enthusiastically arranged for me an empty car to return to Xuexiang (150 yuan, including a Mercedes Benz business with more than 10 seats), and ordered the Zhao Shenglin hotel to stay in Xuexiang. Thank you!

Goodbye, rime island. Although we haven't seen the wonder of rime like a spring breeze all of a sudden and thousands of pear trees blooming, our little regret has become the driving force for our next visit. We are looking forward to seeing rime again next winter.

The car is driving fast on the county road, provincial road and Panshan highway, passing through the birch forest. Everywhere you go, it's beautiful.

The driver pointed to the passing village and said, do you see the snow on the roof? The snow in Xuexiang is much thicker than this. A proud face.

Along the way, the young driver is very talkative: this year's snow is small, it will be put off at this time of the past year; Snow village has been planned in a unified way, and many shops and inns have been built. For those wooden houses that are neither native nor foreign, I also open family hotels. It's 10 li away from snow village. This year, I plan to build new houses according to the most rustic adobe and earth Kang, which not only saves money, but also has more characteristics.

The car is driving on the mountain road. It's almost to the snow village. The snow on the road is very clean. The driver said that he had driven a snowplow in the early days, so he quit because it was too hard. It's better to open an inn, which can not only earn more money, but also make friends all over the world.

Foreign vehicles can only park outside the scenic area, and visitors can take the Ferry Bus in the scenic area after checking in.

In fact, the gate of the scenic spot is only three or two minutes away from Xueyun street, the main road of Xuexiang, and the drivers of the Ferry Bus seize the time to sell their goods: this cigarette is a specialty of Xuexiang, free of impurities, 200 cigarettes, easy to smoke and inexpensive, even though Beijing is the capital, they can't buy it in Beijing; This poker is a specialty of Xuexiang. It records more than 50 beautiful scenic spots in Xuexiang. Even if you live in Xuexiang for a few days, you can't see all of them. Although Beijing is the capital, you can't buy them in Beijing. Alas, my emperor has nothing.

As soon as the driver's voice dropped, the car had arrived at the parking spot at the south end of Xueyun street, the "Chang'an Street in Xuexiang".

The legendary fairy tale world, I, come.

The shopkeeper sent someone to meet him. Not far north along Xueyun street, the end of the West Lane is Zhao Shenglin hotel.

The hotel is also covered with thick snow. God loves this little village so much.

Because the hotel in rime island is in alliance with Zhao Shenglin hotel in Xuexiang, through the introduction of the beautiful boss of rime Island, the shop owner asked me to pack a three person hot Kang room at a preferential price of 200 yuan / day (including morning). The room is not big. It's similar to the hotel in rime Island, so I didn't take any pictures.

After lunch (sliced meat and rice, 50 yuan, which is not as expensive as it is said on the Internet), I went out to hang out with my camera on my back.

Everywhere you go, there are white snow, wooden houses, red lanterns, and the blue sky.

Every time I see the snow on the roof, I think of the thick cream of the birthday cake.

Snow village, just a small mountain village located in Shuangfeng forest farm before it became famous, will cut off traffic every winter when the mountain is closed by heavy snow.

Now it has been over developed. Although commercialization has brought convenience, it has lost its original pure beauty.

Walking on Xueyun street, there are new wooden houses on both sides, which are used as small supermarkets and family hotels.

Passing through the essence of snow village - dreamland, of course, is the scenic area is to collect fees.

Looking inside and outside the gate, the snow is still intact. This year, the snow is not big, the local people in the eyes of the snow, for me this stranger, are so envious. I decided to shoot the night scene in the evening.

The streets are bustling with people, such as touting, Hawking, bargaining and taking pictures. Occasionally a forklift passed slowly.

The pets in Xuexiang are used to pull the plow. Of course, they don't need much effort to pull the plow, because their master is pushing the plow behind them, pushing hard on the ground. They just need to run, handsome for people to swing on the line.

Avoiding the noise of the tour group, he turned to the back of the shop near the street, and there were only three or two tourists taking pictures. The most beautiful scenery is always in the place with few people.

Wooden house, snow roof, fence, red lantern, what a good subject matter.

Any roof is a huge "snow on the road".

Any piece of snow, a high slope, can constitute a playground.

So relaxed mentality, leisurely stroll, no work pressure, no utilitarian fetters; It's a sense of freedom.

Before I knew it, the sun was going to set.

Take the dream home ticket (original price 150, preferential price 120 yuan) bought by the store to enter the scenic spot.

The dusky blue sky sets off the whiteness of the snow. The snow in dream home should be the best preserved in snow village. It can be imagined that when the snow is heavy, it should be as beautiful as the ticket design.

The snow mushroom like marshmallow, the snow steamed bread and the snow house are so pure and beautiful. Only here can you really feel the real existence of the fairy tale world.

Looking down from the observation platform, the lighting of the village is gradually turned on, and the pure white snow is reflected by different colors of lights, which turns into colorful colors.

A string of red lanterns beside the street and in front of the house are also blooming, which makes the whole Snow Village gorgeous.

The night in snow country is the dream in fairy tale. The more night, the more tender and charming.

For dinner, the restaurant prepared dumplings with celery and pork stuffing, which are very fragrant

Lying on the Kang, I don't have the toss and turn of expectation for rime when I was on rime island. I had no dream all night

Day4 Xuexiang - Harbin

Accommodation: Harbin Wanda Holiday Hotel

Highlights: the ink and snow village in the morning, the rime on the top of the mountain, the beautiful Sophia Church, and the bright central street

The early morning snow village is quiet, so quiet that it can make people feel empty.

There is no noise of tour groups in Xueyun street. At the south end of the street, there is a warning sign at the foot of the mountain on the west side that "tourists are not allowed to enter the scenic area". Under the sign, a path with only two footprints is zigzagging up the mountain.

Curiosity drove me to climb up the path. It was very quiet, with only the click of snow.

The path twists and turns, deep in the vast white snow.

There are dense forests on the mountain, and the thick snow is shaped with things, forming snow steamed buns one by one.

Without the direct sunlight, the mountain forest will present the effect of ink and wash. Looking at the scenery in front of you, no matter how impetuous you are, your heart will tend to calm down.

I like this picture very much. It's like a sketch. It's very impressive.

Stepping on the footprints on the snow carefully, I came to the viewing platform of dreamland scenic spot unconsciously. I actually took a route of ticket evasion. Alas, if I had known that there was such a way, I would have saved 120 yuan from going to dreamland last night.

From the viewing platform overlooking, overlooking, good a quiet northern ink painting.

The night in Xuexiang is charming, but her dawn is so soft.

8: 30, back to the hotel with breakfast, eggs, pickles, rice porridge, eat hot.

The two people from the same hotel are both from Zhejiang Province. They are going to charter a car to Harbin today. They asked me if I would like to go with them.

In fact, every time I travel, I often find that living under the eaves together, even strangers can quickly become friends.

There were more than two hours left before the time appointed by the driver, so he went out with his camera.

Snow village, driven by interests, you lack simplicity and are no longer original. There are scenes and photos everywhere. However, nature bestows such holy and pure snow on you. After her coverage, everything becomes charming and people are reluctant to part with it.

At 12 noon, the taxi driver has been waiting outside the gate of the scenic spot. Get on and drive to yaxue highway (Yabuli Xuexiang) leading to Harbin.

The car is driving fast on the ice covered Panshan Road, preparing to climb over datudingzi mountain, the highest peak in Heilongjiang Province, with an altitude of about 1700 meters.

As we approached the top of the mountain, light snow was blowing and the fog was getting thicker and thicker.

When turning a s-turn, the sudden scenery and everyone in the car can't help cheering up, rime, rime!

Yes, in the snow village where there is no snow, it's impossible to appreciate the rime. For me who didn't see the rime on the rime Island, the beautiful scenery in front of me is really unexpected surprise. Although the visibility is not high, the tree shape is general, and the degree of rime formation is slightly poor, it's enough to make up for my little regret from the rime island.

Discuss with the driver, stop for a moment and take photos.

The girl in the car came from the south. She was attracted by the wonder of rime and asked me to take a picture of her.

In this beautiful scenery, it's like being in a fairyland. The black-and-white ink like paradise intoxicates the people on the same bus. As expected, the most beautiful scenery is on the road.

It's still more than 4 hours' drive from Harbin, so I can only stop for a while and then reluctantly set foot on the journey.

The car turns from Yabuli to Suifenhe Manzhouli expressway. Along the way, it's covered with ice and snow for thousands of miles. It's a picturesque scenery of northern China.

The two people in the same car are going to return to Zhejiang from Harbin tomorrow. After discussion, they decided to stay in Harbin Wanda Holiday Hotel with me tonight.

In the evening, the bus finally drove into Harbin city. It was smooth all the way, and soon came to the hotel in Jingwei street, Daoli District.

After saying goodbye to the driver, the two families went to check in, and I decided to hurry to Sofia cathedral. When the sun is just setting and the sky is still slightly blue, it is the best time to shoot the night scene.

The location of the hotel is excellent. It's at the southernmost end of central street, not far from the northeast is Sophia Cathedral.

At night, this Byzantine Orthodox Church is golden and beautiful.

The lighting makes the church more magnificent and magnificent. Appreciate her from different angles, will have different charm.

Compared with the day, St. Sophia's Cathedral at night is more amorous. The huge dome of onion head seems to have become a symbol of Harbin's unique exotic atmosphere.

Standing in the center of the square, looking around, Harbin is so beautiful under the night.

To enjoy the night view of Harbin, Sophia Cathedral and central street are two places to go.

Leaving the church square, I took a picture of the track on the overpass. Not far away is central street.

Central street is the most prosperous commercial pedestrian street in Harbin, from Jingwei street in the south to the flood control memorial tower along the Songhua River in the north. Compared with the famous pedestrian streets in China, such as Wangfujing Street in Beijing, the unique European style buildings on the street have more strong cultural and artistic atmosphere.

The night of the central street is bright. When the lighting of the European style buildings, the colored lights on the trees, and the crystal clear ice lights are on, the whole street is full of brilliance and charm.

Compared with the ice and snow world and Zhaolin Park, which often cost 200 or 300 yuan, the ice lanterns and snow sculptures on central street can be enjoyed for free. Although the scale is small, but it is the same crystal clear, colorful.

Walking on the central street, there is no lack of delicious food. Roasted red sausage and roasted squid exude attractive aroma, while sour and sweet ice sugar gourd brings people visual enjoyment and appetite.

And, of course, the most important mardiel sorbet. Just imagine, in the winter of more than 20 degrees below zero, holding a frozen popsicle and biting it hard, the rich milk fragrance will gradually spread in the mouth. At this time, even the frozen face will smile. That kind of sensory stimulation, not to mention how cool.

I bought several kinds of freezing point, sat in the shop and tasted it carefully. The milk flavor was strong and melted at the entrance. What kind of * * darts? It was really weak.

I found a porridge shop near the central street. The taste of beans is very fragrant.

In one day, from Xuexiang to Harbin, although every scenic spot stops and goes, it's hard, but when it's quiet, I feel tired. The SLR and tripod are too heavy.

Lying on the bed, there was no noise in the central street.

The night in Harbin is so pleasant and enjoyable.

Day5 Harbin

Accommodation: Harbin Wanda Holiday Hotel

Highlights: enter the kingdom of ice and snow in the snow Expo, artificial scenic spot, Russian town, sunset on the riverside

It's almost noon after waking up naturally. After a simple bite of bread, I take a taxi to the snow Expo scenic spot on the sun island.

Snow Expo, the full name of the 28th Harbin Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Art Expo, held once a year. This year's theme is "meet the snow Expo, dream back to Harbin".

After security check, enter the scenic spot, the other end of the river crossing arch bridge is the sun island.

Standing on the bridge, my ears echoed Zheng Xulan's "on the sun island": "how sunny the sky is in the bright summer... We came to the sun island... The girls changed their swimming suits...". The Songhua River in front of us has no girls in swimsuits or rippling blue waves. It has frozen into a huge ice rink in the cold days. It must be very enjoyable to sit on the tractor's tires and drift.

Beautiful and enthusiastic "snow girl" is holding her hands to welcome friends from all over the world.

The large-scale snow sculpture "Ode to joy" shows the scene of Russian driving a carriage and playing an accordion in the 1950s, and restores the historical picture of Russian expatriates living in Harbin at that time.

"The great sage returns" vividly depicts the charm of the monkey king.

On the way to the sun lake, there are two open snow gates, which are respectively carved with firecrackers, dragon dance and lion dance.

Through the gate, facing is the huge snow sculpture "snow lilac" standing on the Bank of the sun lake.

The Chinese and Russian girls in the sculpture hold lilac, a flower of Harbin City, which symbolizes the good neighborly friendship between China and Russia and the lasting friendship between the two peoples.

On the sun lake, the ice castle, the ice sailing boat and the ice railings in the backlight show the pure beauty.

Is this a crystal ball?

Want to know the difference between ice sculpture and snow sculpture? Look at the picture below.

This white large-scale snow castle, with magnificent momentum, is called "crown of ice and snow", which is the highest snow sculpture building in the world.

Later, every time I saw this picture, I always thought of white chocolate.

This is a world of snow, a feast of visual arts for snow. Even the hot drink house has its own characteristics.

Walking in the scenic area of the snow Expo is like being in the pure white kingdom of ice and snow.

Every snow sculpture in the scenic area is unique.
