In this ice and snow fairy tale city at minus 20°C, this painstakingly compiled 4-day travel guide will help you avoid detours and pitfalls, letting you enjoy all the highlights for just 800 RMB per person! 📸 ❄️ Day 1: Ice and Snow Art + European Style All in One Sun Island Snow Sculpture Art Expo (recommended 3 hours) → Saint Sophia Cathedral (exterior, 1 hour) → Daoli Vegetable Market (lunch) → Central Street (afternoon to evening) → Flood Control Monument → Stalin Park → Songhua River Railway Bridge (sunset) ✨ Blogger’s secret tips: The giant snow sculptures on Sun Island are best photographed at 2 PM when the light is softest! Don’t foolishly buy tickets to enter Sophia Cathedral; the dome looks amazing from the outside square with a wide-angle lens. Central Street’s Madieer popsicle is only 5 RMB each, don’t overpay!
