notes on Harbin tourism

winter in Harbin is relatively cold compared with the south, but it is not as cold as expected. The reason is that the winter in Harbin is relatively dry, so it doesn't feel as cold as the weather forecast says. Indoor heating, the general temperature is above 18 degrees.

However, due to the climate characteristics of Harbin, there are still some matters needing attention:

1. Shoes.

"Cold starts from the foot". From the point of view of keeping warm, shoes are the most important. A pair of light and warm shoes can make you feel warm all over. Economically, a pair of cotton shoes within 2 yuan is enough:)

2. Clothes

should also be light. Down jacket is the best choice.

3. Hat

is not necessary. There is no wind in Harbin at night, but the temperature is slightly lower. A scarf is enough for a woman, but not for a man.

4. Moisturizing

The air in Harbin is very dry, and the humidity is generally around 2%. Therefore, moisturizing is very important. Some friends from the south will have nosebleeds when they arrive in Harbin, which is caused by the rupture of capillaries due to lack of drinking water. Actually, it's very simple. Drink more water every day. It's better for a lady to bring a lip balm:)

5. Prevent colds

Because there is a big temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, never go outdoors when sweating or wearing little clothes, otherwise it will easily cause colds.

Other matters:

1. Visitors can buy down clothes and wool clothes locally, which are cheap, thick and cold-resistant. In addition, they can take a set of hats, scarves and gloves.

2. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor in Northeast China is very large, and it is very easy to catch a cold, so it is best to bring medicines such as cold medicine.

3. In a cold and dry climate, your hands are prone to pricking and your lips are prone to chapping. You can't go wrong with lip balm or skin care products.

4. In Harbin, where the temperature is tens of degrees below zero, the shutter of a professional camera will not open due to freezing. Therefore, if you bring a professional camera, you must pay attention to the warmth of the machine. In addition, the film is brittle after freezing, so when pulling the film outdoors, don't use too much force, otherwise, the film will be easily broken.

5. If you are lucky enough to be a guest in a local home, you can try to eat on the kang, which is very interesting. If you sleep on the kang, you will easily get angry. You should drink more boiled water and eat more fruits after getting up.

6. When walking in the snow and ice, your knees should bend slightly and your body's center of gravity should lean forward, so that you will not fall down easily.

1. Harbin cuisine

1. Harbin sausage: Lin Qiu sausage, Lidaosi sausage and Roulian sausage are the most famous, which can be bought in Lin Qiu shopping mall and Nangang Fendou Road grocery store.

2. Da Lieba and Xiao Shayike: Russian bread, made by Lin Qiu Company and Madiel Hotel in Daoli Central Street are very good.

3. Russian-style food: Russian chocolate with a beard, Russian cigarette vodka

4. Russian-style western food: I especially recommend the Huameixi restaurant on the central street, which must be eaten on the second floor. It's a great building. There are six of us, who ate red fish roe, salmon and so on, and drank French red wine. We spent a lot of money in 45 yuan, but it was still cheap.

5. Authentic pot-stewed live fish: The address is on Hongqi Street. The facade is not big and conspicuous, but there is a first floor and an underground floor inside, and the area is still not small. As soon as you enter the door, it is a fish pond with a lot of big live fish, which are picked and slaughtered by the guests to ensure freshness.

6. Barbecue: It's all over the street, and whatever you eat tastes good!

7. Beer: For barbecue, you must have beer with Harbin! Hehe, I especially recommend small bottles of beer, which tastes very good!

8. Kill pork dishes, stewed pork vermicelli and stewed mushrooms with chicken: If you want to taste it, you should go to a small restaurant on the roadside, and if you want to feel it, you should go to a restaurant with strong northeast characteristics, such as the "bumper harvest" opposite Harbin No.3 Middle School. As soon as you enter the door, you will shout "Come again" (and, in Northeast dialect, the guests will also), and a lot of people will say "hmm", which is a good mood.

9. Popsicles: Popsicles in Madiel Hotel, Central Street

1. Porridge, there is a two-story porridge shop at the head of Central Street and the bus terminal of Youyi Road. I forget the name, but the porridge there is very good and varied.

11. Desmolly stewed live fish: There is a small village called Desmolly near the road in the suburbs of Harbin. Stewing tofu, vermicelli and carp from Wusuli River is a warm old practice for fellow villagers. Later, the practice of cooking spread like wildfire and spread all over the streets of the city. Harbin people say: If foreign friends don't like western food and northeast cuisine, let's have Molly stew live fish.

2. Shopping

Lin Qiu Company, Harbin No.1 Department Store, Harbin Commercial Building, Songlei Building, Golden Sun Boutique City, Zhongyi Department Store
