Erbin, you make me feel strange...... I almost invited the black dragon out of the river

As the capital city of Heilongjiang Province, Erbin used to be my dream travel destination. However, when I set foot on the land of Erbin, I felt an inexplicable strangeness.

First of all, I was very impressed by the architectural style of Erbin. High-rise buildings rise from the streets of the city center, and modern buildings are intertwined with European-style architecture. However, these high-rise buildings are not fully integrated into the city's history and traditional culture, and instead seem somewhat out of place. I was looking forward to seeing some buildings with traditional features, as if I could travel back in time and feel the breath of history. But alas, this wish was not realized, which made me doubt the historical background of Erbin.

Secondly, the climate of Erbin also felt strange to me. Although geographically, Heilongjiang Province is located in the cold northeast region and the temperature should be relatively low, the temperature in Erbin shocked me. The snow and cold winds I had expected didn't happen. Instead, I was greeted with warm sunshine and mild temperatures. The average temperature in the summer is around 30 degrees Celsius, and I can't help but wonder if I've come to the wrong place. I always imagined the ice and poultry trees floating on the Heilongjiang River, but the reality made me feel strange.

What struck me the most was the level of enthusiasm of the people. As a tourist city, I thought the people of Erbin would be hospitable. However, when I ask passers-by for directions or restaurant recommendations, their answers are always cold and mechanical. They seem to be Xi to the arrival of tourists, and have become Xi to the strange faces around them. This was a bit of a disappointment, after all, the best part of traveling is being with When

Locals interact and learn about their unique cultures.

Although Erbin is unfamiliar to me, I believe that every city has its own unique charm. Perhaps, when I came, I didn't come across the real Erbin, just a glimpse of the light. I still hope that on my next trip, I will meet genuinely hospitable people, feel the history of Erbin, and find my own stories and memories in the city. Only in this way can I truly feel close to Erbin and no longer feel strange.
