The Songhua River is rich in squid. In the Manchu language, the pronunciation of this type of fish is very similar to the pronunciation of "Sun" in Chinese. It has been known as "Sun Island" ever since the name was passed down a long time ago. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Sun Island was developed and utilized as a naval battalion, and was later used as a base for the navy to reconnoiter and train. Today, the natural scenery of Sun Island is exceptionally beautiful, and the landscape inside the park represents a perfect interpretation of the harmony between humankind and nature.

Visited Siberian Tiger Park in Harbin and it was such a unique experience! 🐅 Getting to see the Siberian tigers up close in a safari-style park was exciting and unforgettable. Watching them roam around in their naturalistic enclosures was fascinating. A memorable experience and something quite different from the usual tourist attractions!

After visiting the Tiger Park, we took a taxi to Sun Island and then prepared to take the cable car back to our hotel across the river. Since it was a weekday, there weren't many tourists, and we got on without queuing. When the cable car reached its highest point, the panoramic view of Sun Island, the Songhua River, and the city was breathtaking. We even saw a flock of seagulls! A trip to Harbin definitely includes taking the cross-river cable car at least once.

Wow! Be mindful of the season when visiting the island. This park isn't primarily for tourists; it's more popular with locals and residents. The weather is very important when you go, so make sure to check the weather forecast carefully, as it can get a little chilly. The park itself is quite large and has a Russian theme. The town also has a panda enclosure, which costs extra. The pandas are very cooperative; there are two in total, and they're incredibly cute. If it's not too crowded, the experience is fantastic.

Stepping into Harbin Polar Park is like stepping into a pristine, icy wonderland. Wandering through this ice city, the biting wind cannot extinguish the warmth within. Beluga whales dance gracefully in the water, like deep-sea spirits, their ethereal songs cleansing the soul. Penguins waddle adorably across the snow, their clumsy yet determined figures eliciting smiles from visitors. Polar bears stand alone on the ice field, their deep, majestic eyes exuding regal grandeur. This is not only a haven for animals but also a microcosm of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Every snowflake carries a story, every breath is filled with the taste of freedom. In this frigid land, life displays its most resilient form. Away from the hustle and bustle, immerse yourself here, and feel the purity and tranquility. Let your thoughts dance with the aurora borealis, forgetting worldly troubles. This journey is a visual feast and a spiritual cleansing. Remember this beauty, let it warm your entire winter. What zoos or aquariums have you visited recently that left a lasting impression?

It's worth visiting both day and night, but the best time to go inside is during the day when there are musical performances. At night, enjoy the exterior lights. The entire square is quite beautiful, but at night, the lights of the surrounding buildings seem too bright, overshadowing the church and creating a sense of intrusion.
