Going to Harbin in winter to see the ice lanterns and go to Mohe to feel the snow culture is my long-standing wish, but it is because of my physical reasons that I am not afraid of heat but extremely afraid of cold, and this wish has been stranded
When I finally plucked up the courage to challenge my physical hardiness limits, I still prepared myself in advance for a close-fitting warm baby, down pants, snow boots, and thick cotton gloves, which are not suitable for Beijing, but may be suitable for Harbin and Mohe thick equipment.
I still didn't have the courage to go north in Harbin when it was the coldest, and I self-righteously chose November, around 0 degrees Celsius in Beijing and more than 20 degrees below zero in Harbin, and I felt that I could try to accept this temperature to go to Harbin
1. When you first arrive in Harbin, feel the temperature drop by dozens of degrees
When the train arrived in Harbin, I looked out the window and, with the convenience of the sleeper, it was a bit funny to put the warm baby prepared in advance on my back and knees. I'm extremely hardy, and my actions make me feel ridiculous [sneaky laugh]
I was fully armed and wore two down jackets, two layers of thick warm jackets, a layer of cashmere jackets, a total of five clothes, a layer of down pants on my legs and a layer of cotton pants ~ when I wore snow boots on my feet, and when I got off the car with warm baby drops, I felt like a bear, and I was afraid of the cold, entering the northernmost big city that I did not dare to go because of the cold - Harbin.
Because the wear is too thick, the warm baby has been hot, not only do not feel cold, but also in the train station directly into the taxi, has felt a little hot, had to calmly and ridiculously sit in the taxi and told the driver the address of the booked hostel.
Coincidentally, the content of the Harbin radio that was listening to the taxi was in line with my state, saying that the southerners who went to Harbin to play in the winter could see at a glance that they were wearing more than us ~ I looked down at my five-layer clothes and waist protection artifacts ~ silently looked at the temperature comparison between the two addresses of the mobile phone
I set off from Beijing, the cold of Beijing in winter is already a northern city that I feel very cold, before departure Beijing at night - 4 degrees, to Harbin straight down - 24 [sneaking laugh]
I can't help but smile and feel happy
2. Central Avenue is not far from the booked hostel
Harbin booked hostels
On the way to the central street, unfortunately, the -24 degrees of Harbin did not see snow, and this temperature was already a little unbearable in my walk for about half an hour, and my heart was retreating, only the cold was the hardest for me to bear
I finally know what is cold as a knife, and sure enough, my physique is not good, after settling down in the residence, I go out to hang out on central street, even if I walk under the sun, and two layers of down jacket three layers thicken to warm the baby, feel the real northern dry cold
Central Avenue
The people I met on Central Avenue were certainly not as exaggerated as I was dressed, and there were even multiple girls who ate ice cream.
Probably because I wore the most, some businessmen took the initiative to ask me if I would go to Mohe for tourism. I was already reluctant to give up the original Mohe trip with regret, and changed the itinerary to change the ticket plan to return to Beijing early
Change the ticket, it is noon at the highest temperature time to visit all parts of Harbin ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The architecture of Harbin is somewhat close to Russian characteristics.
Seeing the frozen Songhua River, wanting to imitate the people on the ice, the moment he touched the ice, he timidly retracted...
"Frozen three feet is not a day's cold" try to walk on the ice surface, awkwardly retreated, wood has the courage to play with ice.
3. Gogol Bookstore
Gogol Bookstore is one of the more well-known on the way.
On the way to the study, the style photographed at hand has the unique architectural style characteristics of Harbin, unfortunately there is no thick snow, and there is no snow day~
Inquire along the way to the famous Gogol Bookstore
This is a bookstore with stories
In the cold winter, it is also a blessing to read in a warm and nice place
This study, I stayed for an afternoon ~ ~ ~
4. When the return time arrives a few days in advance, I definitely have regrets in my heart, I originally planned to stay in Harbin for a few more days, and the plan to go to Mohe was abandoned, which is also the most regrettable time I have traveled to different provinces and cities in China for physical reasons.
However, who can travel without regrets, and which trip can be without different regrets?
Because regret after regret may end up being one of the reasons I remember many places.
