Capture the atmosphere even on rainy days! Here’s your guide to exploring Harbin’s Sun Island 💨
This European-style island hidden by the Songhua River is incredibly photogenic! As a local, I visit several times a year, and there are different activities for each season~
📍Address: No. 1 Taiyang Avenue, Songbei District
🕰️Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (last entry at 4:00 PM)
✨Recommended Check-in Spots:
1. Russian Style Town
The red brick buildings with pointed roofs have a great vibe, and rainy days actually add to the Eastern European atmosphere! We suggest wearing vintage-style clothes for photos—every shot looks like a masterpiece~
2. Sun Waterfall
Although it’s an artificial waterfall, it’s still impressive. From the viewing platform, you can see panoramic views of the Songhua River (don’t forget your umbrella!)
3. Deer Park
You can feed the deer up close! Feed costs 10 RMB per portion. It’s best to visit on a sunny afternoon when the deer are more active~
🍴Dining Tips:
There are many Russian restaurants inside the park. We recommend trying borscht and rye bread. Prices are a bit high, so you can also bring your own snacks for a picnic (just remember to take your trash with you)
🚗Transportation Suggestions:
- Bus: Take routes 29, 47, or 80 to Sun Island Station
- Ferry: A 10-minute boat ride from the Flood Control Monument, which adds a special touch to your trip!
🌂Helpful Tips:
1. Bring an umbrella and non-slip shoes on rainy days
2. It’s windy on the island, so bring an extra jacket
3. Don’t miss the snow sculpture exhibition in winter!
