Complete Harbin Travel Guide! Pack your bags and go after reading this!

As a kid from the south, my obsession with snow was fully satisfied this winter! From Harbin's European-style romance to the mushroom houses in Snow Town, from the heavenly Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain to the Korean drama vibes in Yanji, this Northeast loop trip is simply legendary～💖

🧳Travel Essentials
· Clothing: Quick-warming thermal underwear + fleece + long waterproof down jacket, fleece-lined pants + ski pants! Waterproof and anti-slip snow boots + thick wool socks are a must～
· Accessories: Touchscreen gloves, ear-protecting ushanka hat, face mask, sunglasses (to prevent snow blindness) are essential!
· Electronics: 20,000mAh power bank + phone hand warmer (battery drains fast in cold!), camera cold-proof cover
· Skincare: High-moisture cream, lip balm, sunscreen (UV rays are super strong on snow!)

🚥Transportation Guide
· Main transport: Recommended to enter via Harbin Taiping Airport and exit via Yanji Chaoyangchuan Airport or Changchun Longjia Airport, following a route without backtracking～
· Intercity transport: Strongly recommend car rental with driver (SUV about 600-800 RMB/day)! Driving on icy snow roads is dangerous; local drivers know the roads well and have snow chains, ensuring safety and peace of mind.
