Back from 2 days and 1 night in Harbin, ask me anything!

After 12 years, I finally returned to Harbin. The city is even more beautiful than before. People in all walks of life are friendly and enthusiastic, and prices are very reasonable for a tourist city. The Harbin Ice and Snow World is worth visiting. The ice and snow sculptures are magnificent, the atmosphere at the show and disco is great, and you don't have to wait in line for the ice slide and Ferris wheel if you make a reservation (but I was too tired to make a reservation for the Ferris wheel twice, so I left). There are plenty of places to eat and rest. There are a lot of people, but everything is in order, and you can have fun. The ice sculptures on Sun Island are spectacular. Most of them are finished, but a few are still under construction. St. Sophia Cathedral is still as beautiful as ever. It looks great both day and night. It has a kind of ancient beauty that has stood the test of time. I heard that the inside is not that great, so I didn't go in. There are princesses taking photos outside (they look beautiful, but it's too cold. If I were five years younger, I would have gone. Now I'm too timid to go to Harbin without wearing three layers of down jackets). Unfortunately, I went too early, so some of the snow sculptures were not finished. The ice sculptures in Zhaolin Park were not finished either, so I didn't see them. The itinerary was not very reasonable, and I had to backtrack (I walked almost 30,000 steps on the first day and was exhausted). I stayed at Yiju Home Inn. The location and service were good, but the environment was a bit old. It cost more than 500 per night, and there was a small window (there was no view, but who needs a window in winter? It's expensive). In conclusion, Harbin is worth visiting!
