Stepping on the sunset, history turns around.
On the Blending of Eurasian Cultures and the Combination of East and West
The scenery of willow cloister is better than that of Jiangnan.
This is an enterprising city, warm and open.
This is the hometown of the breeze.
This is a tourist attraction.
This is a summer paradise.
……
Ice city used to be very summer.
August 2 1 day, Lijiang class, a city with thick green and half city wind.
In midsummer, going to Harbin is a pleasant experience. Compared with other big cities, it is less hot and irritable, and more comfortable and calm. If you have been to Wuhan and Guangzhou in August and September and experienced that kind of three steps, one breath and five steps, Harbin's calmness and freedom will make you feel more comfortable and lingering.
Harbin, the ice city and summer capital, is located between 44 04 ′-46 40 ′ north latitude and125 41′-13013 ′ east longitude, and is the northernmost capital city of China. August and September are the hottest days, and the extreme climate occasionally reaches 38℃. But the most common temperature in summer is basically constant at around 25℃-32℃. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening-the sun is high at noon and the morning wind is over your ears. This wind, passing through the city from Songhua River, with the smell of river water, swept through the streets, crowds and shade of the city, immersing the whole city in a fresh and lush atmosphere.
Songhua River, Sun Island, Russian River Garden. The magnificence of nature and the carving of manpower have jointly created this summer resort and summer paradise.
"On a sunny summer day, how clear the sky is and how charming the beautiful Sun Island is." Old songs often evoke memories, nostalgia and beauty. When On the Sun Island was popular all over the country, the name of Harbin jumped from north to south. And Sun Island has naturally become a symbol of this city. How many years have passed, the years have passed silently, and the scenery is still gorgeous-the charm of Sun Island is even better than that of that year.
The island is about10000m long from east to west and 4000m long from north to south, with a total area of 38000m2. There are wetlands and grasslands in the scenic area, and the scenery is unique-flowers are blooming, Ruyan Liu is green, birds fly around trees, and rivers around the island are vast. Sun Island has the largest urban wetland in China, and Tatoudun is a beautiful symbol of wetland landscape. According to reports, it will take thousands of years for the Tatou Wharf in the wetland here to be so lush and spectacular. As the earliest urban leisure resort in China, in midsummer, tens of thousands of people board Sun Island every day, and holidays such as1200,000-colorful tents and colorful parasols create a unique summer scenery for tourists.
In addition, there are eight cultural venues on the island, such as Sun Island Art Museum and Yu Zhixue Art Museum. It is not only a scenic island, but also a cultural island and an ecological island.
There are 70 scenic spots on Sun Island, such as Squirrel Island, Deer Garden and Sunshine Beach, many of which are named after Sun, Sun Mountain, Sun Lake and Sunstone. Sun Lake, located in the center of the park, is an artificial lake dug by the people of the whole city through voluntary labor. The earth piled up the Sun Mountain. On the lake, there are small bridges and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and countless red-headed geese and wild ducks are playing leisurely in the water, which makes people forget their worries. Tian Yun, Shui Ge, is built by the water, covering an area of 15 15 meters. It is divided into three parts: the corridor, the corridor and the guests. When you board Shui Ge, you can see the whole park. Terraces are green, mountains are heavy, flying pavilions flow, and there is no land under them. As if heaven and earth are in your arms, you can express your lofty aspirations.
Sun Island is located on the north bank of Songhua River, which can be reached directly by cruise from Stalin Park and Jiuzhan Park. The tanker runs every twenty or thirty minutes, and the journey is only five or six minutes.
Stalin Park, Jiuzhan Park and Gu Xiang Park are located on the south bank of Songhua River, which are connected in a line along the river. This is the most important place for Harbin people to escape from the summer-the architecture combining Chinese and western, lifelike sculptures, ingenious flower beds, cool breeze supporting willows and cool rivers. In midsummer, almost all citizens will choose a certain evening or a certain weekend, sit under the towering flood control memorial tower and stroll in the park with pleasant scenery to enjoy a rare and comfortable leisure time.
Russian River Garden is another important summer resort. Heyuan is located on the Majiagou River in nangang district, with a span of108m and a leisure shopping space of 6,000m2. Bars, restaurants, Internet cafes, tea bars, discos, book bars, song bars and painting bars are all around it. Riverside Garden is close to the famous Nikolai Nikolai Gogol Street, which has Russian color. In the 1960s, it changed its revolutionary name-Road to Struggle, and now it has resumed its original name. The excitement of the Russian River Garden often comes after nightfall, and melodious piano sounds come from bars on both sides. Occasionally, singers and bands will play in the pavilions and waterside pavilions by the river, with neon flashing, refreshing fountains and melodious music, making people feel exotic in the moonlight.
Of course, more often, residents and their distant relatives and friends prefer to gather in the yard or in front of small shops on the street-there are countless flavor snacks in this city, which used to be concentrated in Daowai District, but now they are almost all over the city. Setting a table of delicious food and having a glass of draft beer, with the breeze on the side and the bright moon in the sky, is a kind of leisure and enjoyment, which often makes southern tourists who don't know how to survive the summer without air conditioning envious or even excited, so the host and guest raise their glasses all the time-Harbin people's beer consumption ranks second in the world, second only to Munich, Germany, 1900.
Harbin not only has charming natural scenery, but also has a unique cultural landscape that combines Chinese and western cultures.
In midsummer, in the afternoon, walking in the sunshine of the central street and looking at the square bricks under your feet and the buildings on the side of the road, you will have a feeling of being in a foreign country. This street was built in 1898, with a total length of 1450m and a width of 21.34m. It is one of the longest pedestrian streets in Asia. The stone road above the street is paved with granite, which is called 999999. Although it has been repaired several times, it has basically maintained the style of the year-time is like water, and the old street still exudes warmth and kindness. There are 5 1 European architecture on both sides of the street, which combines European Renaissance, Baroque, eclecticism and modern architectural style, and is known as a rare architectural art corridor in China.
Not far from the central street, there is a famous church, that is, St. Sofia's church-the largest Orthodox church in Harbin and even the whole Far East. This is one of the most important landmark buildings in Harbin, representing the highest achievement of European architecture in the whole city. There used to be sixty or seventy churches in Harbin, which was called "the city of churches". Now, the number of these churches has increased from ten to nine. "Hagia Sophia" means "the wisdom of God". The church is 53.35 meters high, with a building area of 72 1 m2, and can accommodate 2,000 people. In midsummer, the square in front of the church is covered with green grass, flowers are in full bloom, the musical fountain is cadenced, and melodious music ripples in the blue sky with the crisp pigeon whistle. On the dark green onion, the magnificent light of the sun jumps, the golden cross flashes a sacred halo in the changing light, the bell rings, and pigeons fly across the sky, sweeping a dreamy elegance and mystery.
The European architecture in Harbin was built after 1898, because the city became the hub of the Middle East railway. At that time, expatriates from Russia, Jews and other European countries poured in. At its peak, the population of foreign nationals reached more than 200,000, and 20 countries set up consulates here. The influx of foreigners has led to the emergence of European-style buildings in the city, with thousands at most, and now there are 294 European-style buildings left. The former aristocratic mansion became a bookstore and a shopping mall. The prosperity of the past precipitated elegance in the dust of the years, and also precipitated something that is hard to sigh in life.
However, this kind of sadness with a little taste of petty bourgeoisie often disappears with the wind soon-modern commercial buildings, dazzling high-end goods, confident and enthusiastic people rushing by, all of which indicate the openness and enterprising of this city. Harbin is adjacent to Russia. The precipitation of history and the infection of reality make this city have a European style. Harbin people dare to wear it-the young man is handsome and bold, and the girl is beautiful and enthusiastic. They are the most beautiful scenery in the city-colorful Blagi and miniskirts. On the streets in midsummer, beautiful girls bloom like flowers.
The beautiful scenery of Balan River, the old dream of Beijing Jin Dynasty, wandering for roots, getting close to nature and tracing back to history. In the latitude and longitude of time and space, fully feel the past life of this city-its wind and rain and charm, its elegance and freshness.
Walking out of the city, the scenic spots around Harbin are particularly touching.
Drifting is an important way for ice city people to spend their summer vacation. Harbin rafting began in the 1990s, and now there are 8 rivers 15, some of which are thrilling and some are relaxing. Among them, the Balan River, known as "the first drifting in the north", is the most famous.
Balan River is located in the hinterland of Danqing River provincial-level natural scenic spot, with a total length of more than 20 kilometers, surrounded by mountains, or towering cliffs, rugged rocks, falling clouds or overlapping peaks. The river is crystal clear and the priorities alternate. Being in the middle of it, drifting away from the noise and forgetting the scenery, a group of leisurely arises spontaneously.
The beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers is worth tasting, and the historical context of Harbin is worth visiting. The history of Harbin began in the Jin Dynasty 900 years ago. Acheng District has one of the four ancient capitals in the north, and the Jinshangjing site, a national key cultural relics protection unit. The ruins of the Wumen Gate in the Imperial City and the palace buildings are still well preserved. Emperor Village, Asahi Hall, Juyuan Ancient City and Jin Taizu Mausoleum, in the afterglow of sunset in midsummer, are covered with loess ruins, telling the story that the former Jin Pavilion of a dynasty was once attacked by wind and rain.
There is also an ancient city in yilan county-Yilan Ancient City. Because of "observing the sky from the well", the reputation here should be better than that of Jin Shang Jing.
In addition, there are many scenic spots in Harbin: Long Ta, the tallest steel tower in Asia; Daotaifu-the last yamen of China feudal dynasty: Confucius Temple, the largest Confucius Temple in Northeast China; Gokurakuji is one of the four major Buddhist temples in northeast China. Yuquan International Hunting Ground, Northeast Tiger Forest Park, Phoenix Mountain, Yabuli, Songfengshan and Erlong Mountain, these national tourist areas and nature reserves-all tell the elegance and vicissitudes of the city and show its warmth and beauty.
Among them, Phoenix Mountain is located in Wuchang, He Shan Forestry Bureau, and is divided into South Phoenix Mountain and North Phoenix Mountain. North Phoenix Mountain is 1668.9 meters above sea level, and the Grand Canyon and thousands of feet Waterfall are spectacular. The elevation of South Phoenix Mountain is 1.675 meters, the alpine grassland covers an area of 500 hectares, and the peak is flat, with a large area of alpine rhododendron growing, which is known as the "hanging garden". Yabuli is located in Shangzhi, which is rich in snow in winter and is the largest ski resort in Asia. In summer, it is a famous summer paradise with green grass. There are two golf courses with holes 18 and 27, and 1 10 neoclassical windmills form a "children of the earth" windmill net array. Yifeng Villa Group under construction, consisting of 225 neoclassical apartments and villas, adds a strong exotic charm to Yabuli, making people feel like they are in a scenic spot somewhere in Europe. ...
Once upon a time, Harbin was known as "Little Paris in the East". Now the city is developing rapidly, and its population and scale are far above Paris. However, her elegant atmosphere, her music
And her unique charm of the city with both eastern and western charm still makes her exude the breath of love and yearning-she is an elegant and inclusive city with a magnificent and open mind; She is a pluralistic modern city, romantic and fashionable; She is a cool and livable city, a summer resort, an enthusiastic and enterprising city, and a hospitable and open city. ...
This side of the water and this side of the city.
The fresh wind blowing from here
Here is love, there is love.
This beautiful and passionate person.
I can't remember the number of lovesickness.
How many times will you come back to your dream?

Ice and snow charm
For tourists, every city has different expectations-Beijing is thick and simple, Shanghai is prosperous and fashionable, Hangzhou is gentle and beautiful, and Shenzhen is modern and diverse. In this city, ice and snow are her names.
Ice city Harbin. Between 44 04'-46 40' north latitude and125 41'13013' east longitude. The northernmost capital of China. The average annual temperature is only 5 degrees Celsius, and the ice age has 190 days. Winter is the longest season in Harbin. It is also the most fascinating season-it snows all over the sky, and the clean world is wrapped in silver.
The iron horse was blocked by the autumn wind. This is the northland that people imagine. Compared with the cold in autumn, the wind and snow in winter are undoubtedly more chilling and tenacious. The winter ice city at the northern end of Saibei sounds like a world of brave people. In fact, you will find it a romantic paradise.
Every winter, especially during the "China Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival" starting on 1 5, thousands of Chinese and foreign tourists will gather in Harbin to watch the ice lanterns and snow sculpture, enjoy the most dazzling "frozen people" scenery, and go to the skating rink and ski resort to experience the most exciting and enjoyable life experience. And ice and snow, like the spirits between heaven and earth, are beautiful and elegant, and send out the most sincere invitation with the purest voice: Welcome to Harbin in winter. ...
Ice lanterns and ice sculptures. In the long cold night, the flow of light and shadow makes the mood warm and clear.
Harbin ice lantern is the best in the world. This refers not only to its scale and exquisiteness, but also to its history.
People in Harbin have been making ice lanterns since the 1920s. However, the ice lantern at that time was extremely simple-people filled a soft bucket with water and put it outside for freezing. When the outer water freezes, they take it out, make it into an ice cube, make a hole in it, pour out the unfrozen water inside, and it becomes an ice lampshade, and then put candles in it, which becomes an ice lamp for lighting. In Harbin in the early years, some merchants, inns and restaurants often used this kind of ice lamp for lighting to attract guests. It is an interest and a sign.
1963, Harbin held the first ice lantern garden party in Zhao Lin Park. Since then, the ice lantern has become a work of art, a symbol and pride of the city. At present, the Garden Party has been successfully held for 24 sessions, receiving a total of 25.46 million Chinese and foreign tourists. It used to be the earliest and largest outdoor ice lantern art exhibition in the world, and now it has become a local traditional project.
However, now, in the same city, on the north bank of Songhua River, a more magnificent ice and snow paradise-Harbin Ice and Snow World is gradually replacing the ice lantern garden party. Founded in 1999, Ice and Snow World is an excellent ice and snow project grandly launched by Harbin Municipal Government to welcome the new millennium celebration. The annual ice consumption is120,000 cubic meters, the snow consumption is10,000 cubic meters, and there are more than 2,000 ice and snow works such as ice lantern snow sculpture, all of which are the highest in the world.
In 2009, the Universiade will be held in Harbin, and this theme has begun to be highlighted in the ice and snow buildings in Harbin. A 40-meter-high torch castle for the Winter Games was built in the world of ice and snow, which is the tallest ice and snow building in the past years. The 200-meter-long ice slide will also bring unprecedented thrills to tourists-both the 40-meter-high castle and the 200-meter-long slide are made of ice. Think about it. Isn't it a little shocking?
For the world of ice and snow, ice lanterns are undoubtedly the most attractive scenery. If you want to see the ice lanterns, it's very late at night when the lanterns are competing for beauty. It's better to be starry sky or hazy moon shadow. Colorful lights scattered from the crystal clear ice, dazzling. Soft light seems within reach, and the air is filled with warm taste. These ice scenes are made by artists taking transparent and heavy natural ice from Songhua River, decomposing it with chainsaw, adding shovels, small shovels, flat shovels, sharp knives, round knives and angular knives, and adopting various techniques of carving relief lamps. Pavilions, birds and animals, Chinese and foreign figures are all lifelike.
Together with Sun Island International snow sculpture Competition, snow sculpture Festival and Heilongjiang International Ski Festival, these two landscapes constitute "one of the winter festivals with the richest content, the warmest atmosphere and the longest activity time in the world"-China Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival, which starts every year 1 5.
The Ice and Snow Festival begins at 1985. In addition to the traditional ice lanterns, ice sculptures and snow sculpture, there are dozens of recreational activities such as skating, snowmobiles, slides, moraines and snow football, as well as cultural activities such as northern characteristic animal performances, Russian style song and dance performances, ice ballet performances, fireworks shows and snow screen movies.
If you come by accident, you can also see the spectacle of the wedding on the ice-dozens of couples wear skates and dance lightly on the ice, so that the purity of ice and snow can witness the purity of love. I believe that at the wedding, the couple experienced a cold test, and in life, they will be like any wind, frost, rain and snow. Such a husband and wife are destined to walk hand in hand and have a happy life.
Snow field and snow country. Crossing the forest and snowfield is the reappearance of heroic feelings and the return of the age of innocence.
If watching ice lanterns is the most pleasing moment, skiing is the most thrilling moment in the world of ice and snow.
There are 40 ski resorts in Harbin, including S-class ski resorts 13.
The most distinctive features of Pingshan Lu Shen Ski Resort are red deer and sika deer scattered in miscellaneous forests. In addition to skiing, you can also eat Pingshan dried bean curd, wild loach, venison, wood frog and many other delicacies and specialties of northeast farmers.
Others such as Shangjing International Ski Resort, Huatian Wuji Rice Ski Resort, Ji Hua Ski Resort, Du Ming Ski Resort and Yuquan Weihushan Ski Resort are all well-known ski resorts.
However, the most famous ski resort is Yabuli Sunshine Resort. This is a completely national ski resort. The Asian Winter Games will be held here, and the 2009 Winter Universiade will be held here. Snow trails, platform jumping and all supporting facilities are professional. Anyway, I have to stay here for one night and feel the winter night among the mountains in the north-if it's a night when there are few moon stars, I can see the towering Mount Guo Helmet and the snowy road practicing downhill like a white horse. At this time, all is silent, and occasionally there are cold birds singing, which makes the mountains more beautiful, just like a fairyland.
Skiing, wearing colorful ski clothes, being in the white world wrapped in silver makeup, and looking up at the snow in Wan Li, a heroic mood will arise. When you fly over the snowy road and go down the mountain, the wind is whistling in your ear. That kind of unrestrained, free and carefree feeling can't be brought to you by any other leisure activities.
Of course, it is not easy to reach this realm of "crossing the forest and crossing the snowfield". Skiing is a leisure activity and a sport, which requires certain skills. However, it is not difficult to get started with this activity. As long as you are brave enough, plus a little guidance from a knowledgeable "master" and slide on a relatively gentle snowy road for three or five times, most people can enjoy skiing, including falling. However, for people who are used to sitting in an office, occasionally wrestling in the ice and snow and enjoying the feeling of returning to nature and innocence will double their happiness!
In the snow country, you will also feel the joy of returning to nature. These snow towns are all over the outer suburbs of Harbin, and the snow often reaches more than one foot thick. Here, you can make a snowman, have a snowball fight and ride a sledge, just like when you were young many years ago. Or simply do nothing, just let yourself fall into the thick soft snow, a kind of cold but fresher air surrounds you, let you fly your mind-who can live in the world of mortals for a long time without a trace of obstruction in his chest? A long whistle in the wilderness shouted happiness, put aside stagnation, and the rest were naturally in a good mood.
In fact, Harbin people have long been accustomed to wrestling in the ice and snow, and even take the initiative to roll ice and snow, and there are specific requirements for the number of ice rolls-nine on the left and nine on the right. This is the annual ice-rolling festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It is said that this originated from an ancient legend-the daughter of Songhuajiang one-horned dragon eloped with a mortal. The old dragon was very angry and took her back to send a plague to the village where her son-in-law was located. The dragon lady secretly held a dream that the villagers would roll on the ice on the fifteenth day of the first month, in order to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters-the custom of rolling ice spread.
The scenery is not enough, and there are endless legends. This is the ice city Harbin, the land of ice and snow that countless people are rushing to.
Walking on this land, you can not only feel the charm of ice and snow, but also feel the elegance of the city and the enthusiasm and generosity of Kanto people. Looking for an afternoon, in the square of Sophia church, watching the sunset shine warmly on the white earth, bells ringing and pigeons flying by, an exotic feeling arises spontaneously. Strolling along the central street, you can appreciate the exotic customs and feel its fashion and prosperity. This century-old street is known as "Oriental Champs Elysé es", with a total length of 1.400 meters, and it is one of the earliest pedestrian streets in China. European-style and European-like buildings on both sides 7 1, including municipal-level protected buildings 13. People are in a hurry in the street. Young girls and boys often walk and eat in the snow, holding popsicles or candied haws in their hands, which amazes foreigners. The hotter you are, the more you want to eat hot pot. The colder you are, the more you want to eat cold drinks. This is the habit of the people in Bingcheng, and it is also the generosity of the people in Bingcheng. People in it are often infected by this kind of stubborn and proud habit and can't help acting. ...
Of course, if you have enough time, you can also visit other scenic spots in the Ice City-go to the Northeast Tiger Forest Park to see how people and nature live in harmony; Go to the Confucian temple to see how the Millennium culture is passed down; Go to Jin, go to Beijing, and imagine that a powerful nation was once an iron horse; Or go to the Northeast Martyrs Memorial Hall, feel the bonfire and smoke of that year, and see how the heroes of our ancestors killed the enemy and defended this beautiful and magnificent city. ...
No matter where you go, wherever you go in this city, you will feel that it is different-Harbin has magnificent scenery compatible with Chinese and Western, hospitable and simple people, especially in its clear winter-the river is frozen and beautiful; Snowflakes are flying in the air, melodious and open. This world of ice and snow is dazzling, surprising and exciting; The city is magnificent, warm and charming. ...
A street paved with 999999 square bricks can accommodate an ancient church with 2000 people. The bell rings, pigeons pass by, the warm city, the refreshing wind, and a little mysterious, a little touched and a little sad.
