Wenshang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
You definitely have to visit Harbin this winter (including a three-day, two-night itinerary)
I arrived on the first evening and went straight to the giant snowman for photos.
The next day at noon, I visited the 731 site, then went to the Sofia Church and Central Street, tasting the candied haws with a slushy texture. Dinner was Russian cuisine on Central Street.
The third day at noon, I went to the Baroque style street, had pot stew and Guo Bao Rou, and even captured the frozen roses🌹, the romance of winter. Then it was off to the Ice and Snow World, the Ferris wheel, the Harbin ice show, and the big slide. The queues were too long, so I didn't experience them, mainly to see the ice sculptures. Taking photos was also great. Later, I went back to Central Street for barbecue, the first time I saw cooling patches being given out, which was really amazing. After eating frozen pears that were so cold they made my teeth ache, I went back to Sofia Church to hold a white fox. Finally, I returned to the hotel at about 22:30.
rbin Non-group Tour Guide / Ice and Snow World is too shocking
🧊The southern potato feels very shocked! It's beautiful both during the day and at night! It is recommended that everyone go after 2 pm, so you can have two time periods! Really don't miss it! Each has its own beauty! But they are all extremely beautiful!
🧊I went in January and it has already started to melt. It's a pity that some of the too sharp ones have been shoveled off. You have to wait for the new theme next year.
🧊Warmth suggestions (-26°)
Thermal vest, thermal clothes, sweater, down jacket, fleece-lined pants, outer pants, wool socks, heated insoles, snow boots, hat, gloves, scarf, mask
🧊Recommend taking the subway, there is a chance of traffic jams by taxi, the subway is fast, it is recommended to live on Line 2, the park opens at 11:00, the first batch of people without Vip tickets will not queue for too long, there are things to eat in the park, Pizza Hut, skewers, KFC are all available, there are some milk tea stations when you are tired
Regular 🎫 328r Vip🎫800r Premium🎫2588r/2 people
🧊Basically no one, you wear blue and white will take pictures, the ice sculpture will be more shocking with a wide angle, if you go in the morning without queuing for the slide or Ferris wheel, focus on taking pictures will basically take life phot
The Ice and Snow World will punish every person who doesn't make a strategy
Ice and Snow World strategy look at this👇
Park entrance⛲️, big slide🛝, ferris wheel🎡 experience sharing
🚉Transportation strategy:
Subway🚇: Line 2, Ice and Snow World Station Exit 3
Bus🚌, taxi🚕: The Ice and Snow World official WeChat mini program has a very detailed travel route📖
🕙Business hours: 11:00～21:30
⚠️The opening time will be about half an hour in advance, and the closing time will also be delayed according to the flow of people
Park entrance, big slide, ferris wheel, Ha Bing Show, disco, car ballet show details refer to the introduction～
Park entrance: East Gate (next to Subway Exit 3) There is a free shuttle bus🚌 from the East Gate to the South Gate～
There are more people at the East Gate, and fewer people at the South Gate. If you want to be closer to the East Gate, it's best to arrive before 9:30. If the East Gate is full, you will not be allowed to queue up. You will be asked to take a shuttle bus to queue up at the South Gate. We arrived at the East Gate at 9:50 and were no longer allowed to queue up. We went to the South Gate and queued up in a relatively forward position.
✅Popular project strategy:
Big slide: If you want to rush to the big slide as soon as you enter the gate, go to the East Gate, which is closer to the East Gate. After entering the East Gate, run to the right, the direction of the pink arrow in Figure 3, the green circle is the place where the big slide queues up, and the green arrow is the direction of the end of the queue. If you enter from the South Gate, run straight to the right after entering the gate, the red arrow in Figure 3. I entered from the South Gate, usually do not exercise much, ran halfway and couldn't run anymore, walked and ran, and it took ten minutes to get to the big slide. Those who enter from the South Gate also need to pay attention to one point. There are people rushing to the Ferris wheel in the crowd at the South Gate. They are running to the left front. When running, you must look at the road signs. There is a fork in the road. The Ferris wheel goes to the left and the big slide goes to the right. Don't follow the crowd and run the wrong way. We opened the door at 10:30, lined up at the position in Figure 4 at 10:40, and queued up for 1.5 hours to play. The queue was always walking. It took half an hour to queue up to the position in Figure 5. The position in Figure 5 is the last place to queue up. Stand still and queue for an hour. You can go to any mouth. Each mouth lets 5 people in at a time. Sometimes the 5th person will want to go down with a companion. The staff will ask if there is one person. Single people can go in advance, only ask once. The slide on the right side of the big slide is on the outer circle, 20 meters longer than the left side. If you want to slide long, go to the right.
Ferris wheel: If you rush to the Ferris wheel as soon as you enter the gate, enter from the South Gate, run to the left front, the direction of the blue arrow in Figure 3, the direction of the orange arrow is the direction of the queue, and the arrow is the end of the queue. My friend rushed to the big slide, in a position slightly behind the South Gate, and queued up for 40 minutes. I went to the Ferris wheel at 8:50 after the disco ended at eight o'clock, and queued for an hour. The Ferris wheel stops queuing at 9 o'clock. As long as you enter the queue before 9 o'clock, you can all play. The park will close after everyone has finished playing. However, I don't mind queuing for the Ferris wheel after the disco. The disco will sweat, and it's very cold at night. It's easy to catch a cold after sweating and queuing for the Ferris wheel. My friend, a boy, had a fever after queuing for the Ferris wheel after the disco. Sit on the right side of the Ferris wheel car, the scenery is behind the right side seat, you can't see much scenery on both sides and the left seat. It takes 20 minutes to go around.
Dream Ferris Wheel

See the God of Wealth kneel and kowtow!
Baoxiang Temple is in Wen Shang County, Jining, about 40 minutes by taxi from Jining city center. It is a very worthwhile 4A scenic spot hidden in the county. It is divided into two parts, one is the ancient temple where you can pray, and the other is the viewing platform. These two places need to buy tickets separately. The play time depends on the individual, and it feels that 1-2 hours is enough. Please guide 100 yuan, the progress will be faster.

Ticket: 50 yuan (free for locals)
Time: 8:00 am-17:30 pm
"The first scenic spot in the Northern Dynasty, the first Taoist field in the East" covers more than 600 acres. Here are the golden Buddha of Sakyamuni and the eighteen Arhats of bluestone color sculpture. In the underground palace deep in the pagoda, there are the real Buddha teeth of Sakyamuni, relics, which are very worth seeing.
This ancient temple is full of incense, and the people who go to worship are also endless. It is recommended that you go in the morning and do not take pictures of the Buddha when taking pictures.
The main check-in places:
Prince Lingzong Tower → Daxiong Hall → Offering Hall → Xiangshui Sea → Underground Palace. It is very worth coming to worship and pray.

Buying a ticket to go in is just to climb the stairs to the lotus seat. If you want to take pictures, you can go in. If you don’t take pictures, there is nothing worth seeing inside, and there are not many people.
From the outside, it looks a bit exotic. It is designed according to the characteristics of the Ashoka Tower, combined with some ancient architectural elements and totems, and the characteristics of Wenshang Buddhist cultural relics, to create a viewing platform.

Jining Wenshang, this guide is all you need for a journey of museums
As a travel expert who likes to explore small but beautiful destinations, I have grown to love Jining more and more.
Spring brings a profusion of flowers, summer is filled with the chirping of cicadas, and autumn and winter also offer their own beautiful scenery. With the changing of the seasons, I have spent many wonderful times in Jining, watching the mountains and waters.
Recently, my trips to Jining have included not only enjoying the beautiful scenery but also deliberately adding a cultural aspect to my tours. On one hand, it increases the interest in knowledge, and on the other hand, it makes the travel experience more substantial, which is the direction I like.
【About the Museum Journey】
Like many people, I now make a special trip to the museums of the city I visit. I think to understand a city, one should not only appreciate its current beauty and prosperity but perhaps also its cultural heritage and history... Museums, as a concentrated expression of national culture and world civilization and as carriers of spiritual and material civilization, bear the heavy responsibility of promoting national culture and revitalizing the national spirit.
This museum journey in Jining Wenshang was very enlightening, with a broad and inquisitive approach. Here are three recommended places to check in!
【Recommended Check-in Spots】
First stop: Zhongdu Museum
The Zhongdu Museum exhibition hall is divided into two floors, with the first floor dedicated to historical relics and the second to Buddhist artifacts, covering an exhibition area of 800 square meters. The exhibition hall uses comprehensive exhibition methods to show the cultural development of Wenshang from all angles and perspectives.
Special recommendations: The Beixin culture of Jia Bo, Chiyou culture, Confucius as the governor of Zhongdu, the Nanwang Canal water diversion, the Four Ministers of the Same Dynasty, and other cultural themes of famous people from Zhongdu.
Second stop: Baoxiang Temple
If you are interested in traditional culture, you can visit Wenshang Baoxiang Temple. It is a Buddhist cultural theme scenic area that integrates the display and worship of sacred objects, religious study experiences, and leisurely tourism.
Third stop: Wenshang Confucian Temple
Historically, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Wenshang Confucian Temple was continuously renovated and expanded in the style of the Qufu Confucian Temple, forming a large architectural complex centered around the Dacheng Hall. The existing structures of the Wenshang Confucian Temple include the Ji Gate, Dacheng Hall, Minglun Hall, the Shrine of Chaste Women, and the Shrine of Filial Piety, making it a provincial-level cultural heritage site.
