Harbin Must-See Pitfall Avoidance Guide～|||

|||. Be wary of those who urge you to stick together in groups, as well as those peddling goods, and don't believe everything! Not all people from the Northeast are that nice, and it's easy to fall into a trap. When you're out and about, just be careful not to let them affect your mood. 1️⃣ **Daoli Vegetable Market:** There's no need to go to the Hongzhuan Street morning market. Instead, head to the Daoli Vegetable Market, where you can find Yin Fatty's fried cakes and internet-famous sour yogurt lamb after the morning market ends. Not only can you sleep in a bit, but there are also more delicious options at the market. 2️⃣ **Baroque Street:** For the famous old street sand pot restaurant in Baroque, make sure to go to the biggest one next to the bun shop. I made a mistake this time and went to a smaller one inside the street, but the taste was still pretty good and very hot, with fewer people. I'm not sure if it was a fake one. 3️⃣ **Ice and Snow World:** Harbin tourism is booming right now, and the Ice and Snow World is incredibly crowded, with queues so long you start to question life and cold enough to lose sensation. You have to grab tickets for the big slide and Ferris wheel 15 minutes in advance, and it's still possible you won't get them. Even if you do, you might not get to play because it's too cold outside and the queues are too long, making for a terrible experience. 4️⃣ **Sophia Cathedral and Central Street:** Sophia Cathedral, a famous building in Harbin, is not only majestic in appearance but also offers concerts inside for 20 yuan, and there are many pigeons in the square, making it a great photo spot, although it's very crowded. Central Street is a pedestrian street that locals also visit, always bustling. You can stroll around, and if you get cold, find a coffee shop to sit in. I recommend Goya Coffee Shop, which might be a bit hard to find but has a great atmosphere and coffee! Additionally, as a local Harbin resident, if you need Harbin specialties or Northeastern Chinese specialties, I can help purchase them for you~ 🛍️💼
