Harbin Travel Itinerary and Attraction Arrangement, Food, Drinks, Travel and Essentials – Let's Take a Look
Recently, I and my best friend went to Harbin for a trip, a completely free trip. This guide is divided into three parts: Pre-trip preparation, Travel highlights, and Guide summary. Unlike most tourists who want to visit classic attractions, we were purely going for skiing and the Ice and Snow World. We also incidentally strolled along Central Street and the Harbin University Night Market. Pre-trip preparation: One week before the trip, I summarized the from various online guides and friends' suggestions. The travel itinerary and attraction arrangement, food, drinks, and necessary items were all prepared. I booked the round-trip plane tickets and the high-speed train tickets for intermediate transfers, as well as the five nights' hotel stay one week before the trip.
I ordered waterproof gloves and heat packs from Taobao in advance to reserve delivery time. Travel record: Arrival in Harbin, Wanda Valley Indoor Skiing (recommended). Breakfast was at Old Changchun at Wanda Valley, which we originally planned to eat near Central Street, but it turned out to be a chain store. We ordered Jingjiang Rou Si (Pork with Soy Sauce), scallion egg, potato (thinly sliced potatoes), spring pancakes, and tendon pancakes (fried dough sheets) – 2 spring pancakes each, and original yogurt. The portions of the three dishes were quite abundant and the taste was good, but the tendon pancake was a little oily. The portion size was a bit more than usual, but not exaggerated. The picture above shows the spring pancakes, and the picture below shows the tendon pancake. We finished eating and slowly walked to the entrance of the indoor skiing after eating. We refused five people who were selling ski tickets in the middle. I learned from the that changing clothes takes time, and there might be a lot of people in the afternoon, so we wanted to enter as early as possible. Around 12 pm, there were only a few players in the hall. (This highlights the importance of doing and buying tickets in advance). On the left side of the hall was a self-service card machine, where I entered the flight order number from Flypig to open a card. After getting the card, I went to collect ski suits, snowshoes, locker bracelets, and changing rooms to change into snowsuits and snowshoes, and to lock up personal belongings before taking helmets, sleds, and snowsticks (we brought our own waterproof gloves, so we didn't notice whether gloves could be borrowed). Then we could enter the ski field. The preparation time before entering the ski field took about half an hour.
After entering the ski field, we immediately felt that the air was different. Haha, after putting on the sled, we moved to the conveyor belt and slowly arrived at the top of the slope, where we could ski. There was a staff member at both ends of the conveyor belt to help us up and down. The beginner slope has a small slope, and it won't be scary even if you stand at the top. My best friend and I both think that our physical fitness and balance are generally poor, so we bumped into each other for the first time during the trial run and fell in the middle of the slope. After that, we didn't fall again. We played for about an hour, and we didn't find it interesting anymore. In short, the beginner slope doesn't need a coach, and 4 hours are enough. When entering the hall, coaches would proactively ask you about your travel plans, and even enthusiastically take you to rent equipment, change clothes, etc. Don't be misled by these appearances, and don't be embarrassed to refuse. Their ultimate goal is to make you hire them. If you, like us, just want to experience skiing, 4 hours on the beginner slope are enough for self-study and enough to get a good time. If you're still worried, you can watch videos in advance. I watched a few-minute double-board skiing tutorial video the night before.
