This is the famous Madiel cold drink hall. Although it is winter, you should buy a Madiel ice cream 🍦 even if you are wearing a thick down jacket, and feel the charm of Madiel popsicle.
Madiel on Central Street has become a tourist attraction. There is a small stall in front of the store selling small items such as ice cream and bread. I saw a lot of people gathered from a distance. I couldn't bear to buy ice cream, so I bought a candied haws.

How can you go to Harbin and not eat dumplings? There are many branches of Dongfang Dumpling King. This one is on Central Street. There are many people eating there. There are many kinds of dumplings to choose from. I ordered two plates of dumplings, one with shrimp filling and the other with cabbage and pork. They were delicious.
When traveling in Harbin, you can find this dumpling shop on almost every street, so I went to try it.
[Environment] The environment is still very good, it looks clean and hygienic
Three-fresh dumplings I think the one I ordered may not taste good, the dumplings have a lot of soup, and they also have self-service seasoning. The three-fresh has too strong fishy smell. I can't get used to it. If I change the taste, it should be

The red sausage tastes great and the boss’s service is warm and welcoming. It’s worth a try.
It's a good deal to go to Harbin for summer vacation! This ice and snow city is so cool in summer, with Chinese and Russian style architecture + beer + music festival, you can have a lot of fun without feeling hot~❄️
[4 days and 3 nights summer vacation route]
Day1:
Central Street→St. Sophia Cathedral→Flood Control Memorial Tower (music fountain at 3 pm)→Songhua River cruise (watch the sunset in the evening is super beautiful)
👉Tips: The Madiel popsicles on Central Street are a must! The church is even more stunning after the lights are on at night
Day2:
Sun Island Scenic Area (take a cable car to overlook the Songhua River)→Russian Style Town→Polar Hall (white whale show is super healing)→Ice and Snow World Indoor Hall
👉Tips: Sun Island is very large and it is recommended to rent a bicycle. The Russian town is amazing for taking photos

👉Tips: There are many treasure cafes in the Baroque District, Qiulin Lidaosi is the most authentic
[Food Red and Black List]
✅Must-eat: Russian Western food (recommended Huamei Western Restaurant), sweet and sour pork, barbecue
❌Avoid: Russian nesting dolls on Central Street (all from Yiwu), "special fish feast" recommended by some travel agencies
[Practical Tips]
1. Bring a thin coat in summer, as the temperature difference between morning and evening is large
2. Didi is more convenient than taxis, and mobile payment can be used in the subway
3. Sun protection! Harbin's ultraviolet rays are very strong in summer
4. Hotel prices will increase during the music festival, so book 1 month in advance

Although the sausages are more expensive than those sold in other stores, at 15 yuan for 5 yuan, the quality of their meat is obviously quite good. I saw a large bunch of meat in the window, and there were also a lot of loose ones, which I could buy.

I don't like fried cakes, but this one is really good. I recommend eating the ones that are fresh out of the oven. There are a lot of people queuing up. The skin is very crispy and the filling is very tender. The price is reasonable, 1 yuan each. Although there is a queue, it goes very fast. If you are nearby, you can go and try it.
His family has been making fried cakes for many years and it has become a famous specialty snack.

Jianbingguozi is available everywhere, but the cooking methods vary from region to region.
This one I found is near the hotel, and it is one of the recommended dishes.
A husband-and-wife shop, the man cooks, the woman washes the vegetables, very hospitable.
I came here for the unusual barley and purple rice pancakes, and you can order and add toppings.
"Grilled cold noodles" ￥5, with grilled sausage and crispy bones 2. The operation is completely transparent~ the aroma is fragrant, and the sauce is repeatedly applied several times. It is hard not to be delicious. It tastes sweet and sour with a little bit of spiciness. The noodles are chewy. I like it.
"Purple rice pancake" ￥6, with Marco Polo 2.5. It is a local ham sausage brand, sandwiched with crispy cakes and lettuce in the pancake. The taste of purple rice pancake is not prominent.
I prefer this grilled cold noodles, don't miss it if you pass by.

The most famous thing about Kaifeng's soup dumplings shop is naturally the soup dumplings. There are two flavors of soup dumplings, one pork and one beef, priced at 18 yuan and 28 yuan respectively, but the menu only says 18 yuan, which is easy to mislead customers. There are twelve soup dumplings in a serving, and one can replace two soup dumplings in the south. The portion is awesome. The beef filling is chewy, the soup is fresh and fragrant, and the meat filling is delicious.
The sesame sauce pulled skin is also famous, like a thick version of cold skin, smooth and chewy, paired with secret sesame sauce, icy and cool, it must be very exciting to eat in summer.
In addition to these, there are many special dishes in the store, so it also attracts many customers to dine in the store. If you have friends who want to eat, it is best to avoid peak hours, otherwise you may encounter the situation of sharing tables or no seats.
Two kinds of fillings, pork and beef.
I had the pork filling. The skin is thin and the filling is large. Stick the mustard on it, bite a small hole first, the aroma is fragrant, then slowly suck the soup, it is very fresh, full of fragrance, hot, then take it in one bite, cheeks bulging, chewing, you must chew the taste to hit the mouth, chew and savor it, the taste reaches the forehead, swallow it, and it is considered complete.
The shop is not big, the whole room is full of "smacking" mouth sounds, and the smell of hot buns is filled...
Don't order side dishes, none of them are decent and delicious!
