Solo trip to HARBIN! Is this really China? | Fancie in Shanghai Ep.52

This vlog follows FunFancie on a solo trip to Harbin, China, during the peak of the ice and snow festival. The video begins with her anticipation and slight apprehension about the extreme cold (-10°C to -25°C), a stark contrast to her usual Shanghai climate. Her journey starts with a flight and a taxi ride from Harbin Taiping International Airport, highlighting the efficient taxi booking system using Alipay.

FunFancie checks into the Lavande Hotel, providing a brief room tour showcasing the comfort and a stunning view of the snowy landscape outside. Her exploration begins at the Music Gallery (音乐长廊), where giant snow sculptures and a picturesque backdrop create a memorable experience. Despite the biting cold, she captures the beauty of the scene, emphasizing the importance of dressing warmly in layers.

Next, she visits the Yasili Orphanage Former Site (亚斯利孤儿院旧址), highlighting the beautiful architecture influenced by Russia's proximity to Harbin. The golden hour provides perfect lighting for photos, but the extreme cold forces FunFancie to take frequent warm breaks. A nearby noodle shop offers a welcome respite, where she savors spicy beef noodles.

The video continues with a visit to the Songhua River Railway Bridge (松花江铁路桥), built in 1900 by Russians. FunFancie marvels at the frozen river and the stunning sunset, capturing the unique beauty of the winter landscape. She observes extreme ice activities on the Songhua River, comparing them to similar activities in Thailand.

The vlog includes a visit to a Chinese barbecue restaurant near her hotel, where she tries local delicacies, including a mysterious pink fruit (possibly a fermented pear). She also enjoys oysters, emphasizing their size and freshness. The video concludes with a playful moment where FunFancie playfully tests the myth of sticking her tongue to a frozen surface, adding a lighthearted touch to her Harbin adventure. Throughout, FunFancie's enthusiasm and detailed observations provide a captivating and informative travelogue.
