It's a bit far from downtown Changchun, about an hour's drive away. The automatic parking system at the entrance was a first for me, and it was free! There were even volunteers to show you how to use it – so thoughtful! The place is incredibly large; walking is impossible. A bus ride around it takes over 40 minutes. The most beautiful area is near the dam, not far from the entrance!

Finally checked out Harbin Ice and Snow World! It's absolutely stunning, a true ice and snow fairytale kingdom! ✨ The ice sculptures are crystal clear, and the super ice slide is thrilling and exhilarating. Although it was very cold, the beautiful scenery and fun were totally worth it. Highly recommended, definitely a worthwhile trip!

It's definitely worth a visit. The outdoor building, a large green building, is a distinctive and solemn structure combining Baroque and traditional Chinese brick architecture. Inside, it's an exhibition hall showcasing furniture from the Republican era.

A must-see in Harbin! The world's largest Siberian tiger breeding base – be sure to go early! It's recommended to arrive as soon as the park opens, as the tigers are most active in the morning, while many are sunbathing and "lazy" in the afternoon. The thrilling sightseeing bus is the core experience; the reinforced windows make it very safe, and you can buy meat to feed them. The impact of a tiger pouncing on its prey is immense. Seeing adult Siberian tigers up close is truly awe-inspiring – their massive size and imposing presence are breathtaking.

It's not that interesting. When I went there, many of the interiors were not open. If you have nothing to do, you can go there if it's not too far away. You can spend some money to play the thrilling ride, the high-altitude slide and the glass plank road. There are no entertainment projects. These few are pretty good, but they are charged separately.

I regretfully missed the snow cake monkey show during the day, but a quiet stroll through the park still had its own charm. I wandered around leisurely, getting up close to the animals and encountering several rare creatures. The autumn breeze in Northeast China was so refreshing; it instantly relieved all work stress, a brief moment of healing.

The visit to the Forbidden City was successfully completed. It was great and very meaningful. It helped me understand the past history, which is well preserved. Overall, it was a very good experience. It's definitely worth a visit.

There were so many people and tourists that I didn't have time to take in many things. It's like a low-end version of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Many of the artifacts on display were discarded from the Forbidden City. Some rooms were off-limits, so people crowded around the entrances to take photos. There was no lighting inside, so the photos didn't look great. The architecture is still quite distinctive.

This guided tour offers exceptional value, allowing you to avoid crowds and see the iconic spiral staircase, crystal chandelier, and expansive banquet hall.
