The fire of Harbin shines brightly and has become a popular destination for foreign tourists. Since coming to China in June 2023, Mjay and Mia from Houston, Texas, USA, have been impressed by Harbin's ice and snow world, and they bluntly said that the city is like visiting the eighth wonder of the world, and the recommendation of Harbin has spread overseas.
On a cold winter day, Mjay and Mia's first feeling in Harbin was "really cold". Despite the large amount of warm equipment purchased in advance, the cold still made them feel extremely cold.
However, in the process of adapting, the Chinese-Russian style buildings on the street became the first highlight they noticed, as if bringing them into a completely new country.
This pair of American tourists take a dip on the main street and taste the local food, especially barbecue and beer become their first choice. Recommendations on social media made them choose this combination for the first meal.
In addition, Harbin's special snack, sugar gourd, has also become part of their culinary journey in the city. Mjay and Mia said in an interview that this snack can be seen on every street in Harbin, which is convenient and delicious.
The spectacular scenery of the Songhua River also impressed the American tourists. Although they couldn't walk to the frozen river, they were amazed by the sight of workers picking up pieces of crystal clear ice from the river.
They photographed a beautiful ** on a huge pile of ice nearby, which became the most unique part of their trip to Harbin.
During the tour, Mjay and Mia stand out as foreign tourists, especially since Mia is African-American. However, they stressed that among the local population, instead of making them feel out of place, they experienced the locals treating them in a friendly, cheerful and curious way. On the way to the tour, the locals warmly pulled the two to take a group photo, and despite the language barrier, the friendly atmosphere permeated the atmosphere.
In addition to the food and scenery, Mjay and Mia were also impressed by Harbin's convenient transportation and nightlife. They lamented that they find it very convenient to be able to get a taxi at any time and restaurants that are open at night. Even when visiting the Ice and Snow World in Harbin, although the waiting time for a taxi is long, it is fortunate that there is a place to escape the cold and protect them from the severe cold.
Although due to Harbin's cold climate, Mjay and Mia only stayed in the city for a few days, fearing a cold. But this did not affect their love and yearning for Harbin.
They plan to come back next year and hope to bring more people to experience the charm of Harbin. Skiing, tiger feeding, snowmobiling, bathing and other activities are all activities they look forward to experiencing.
Mjay and Mia believe that Harbin will set a record if it can be promoted in other countries. They shared their travel experience in Harbin on overseas social media, which has more than 14 million views.
In the message area, many foreign netizens shared their first impressions of Harbin, saying "amazing", "like a fairy tale world", "I want to go!" ”。
This also made Mjay and Mia very happy, and they thought that they had succeeded in showing the beauty of China to the world by sharing their travels**, especially recommending the ice and snow world in Harbin.
This trip to Harbin made Mjay and Mia feel like they had just visited one of the Eighth Wonders of the World. Their experiences spread on social media and contributed a lot to Harbin's international popularity.
This also reflects the charm of Harbin as a tourist destination, attracting more and more international tourists to experience the unique charm of the city. In the future, with the continuous development and promotion of Harbin tourism, it is believed that the city will continue to shine on the international stage.
