As a regular exodus has become a habit, good or ill with the land in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, is also Taguo people, we actually have not been to Harbin for me it is quite surprising that a number of.
In fact, I'm just going to take a look at just to make up for what the map has not yet set foot in the bar edges. So, only to make their own arrangements of 5 days. To remove the beginning and end two days of flying is actually 3 days.
The first day, go to Yabuli skiing.
It is Sunday, for convenience, participated in a local day mission. On the printed itinerary quite rich in content, in addition to skiing, as well as visit the "Children of the Earth," windmill array, visit the world's longest dry trail, visit the National Ski Team, training, etc., but in fact remove the road and a rigid back and forth for lunch , leaving the two-hour skiing, all the other have become empty promises.
No one complained about only came to ski.
Including an I.
In fact, I have not the slightest interest in skiing, because I do not. Interest and ability, and sometimes reinforce each other. However, both lack of interest and ability, without prejudice I have to try skiing determination. Without him, to Harbin, as nothing more than the "snow" word.
Brought in a coach, specifically for tourists from the primary ski ramp in the last 1 / 3 slide down to six, the first two have not yet let go when the coach falls in the middle coach let go after falling twice in the last two times did not fall. The surface, getting better, in fact well aware, every time you drag it down in the coach, and impossible to find their own sense of slip - even wrestling feeling. 150 two-hour coaching fees, buy that some theoretical essentials: leg forward as far as possible to withstand ski boots, legs, peg-leg, center of gravity forward (seems simple enough ah!); Ski pole lift, with arm grip, hands roughly on the knee position; decline in the course of snowboarding was pigeon open, feet constantly within the eight-character direction for tread plate, a little tread was forced to stop some of it will come - of course, in fact I was falling a.
These Dongdong, in fact, can easily be found on the Internet - coach taught me this another way, it should be what is called the "plow downhill" the. My innocently, when the thought of skiing essentials are the same, so see someone is a two-plate parallel decline will feel strange, in fact, it should be a straight line downhill.
Tried several times, unhelpful. Take a look at the time approaching, I coach joked: "You did not taught me, it will always RBI off it."
Coach surname history, a lean young boys chest with one "high-level ski instructor" signs. He said he was trained to teach visitors, apart from skiing athletes. In a few days will result in the 6th Winter Asian Games held here, he also going to participate in the competition.
History of coach ineloquent for my criticism does not justify charging the public sector provides only said, then added that today, too many people, "Otherwise, I can teach you plow and the plow turn braking."
I look at the ski lifts the crowd over there, knowing what he said is true. Slide down to just a few seconds to work, but then go up to pass a rope, each row at least once a team had to ten minutes. Forget, their intention is only to experience only. And the effectiveness of teaching and coaching, though limited, service attitude is very good, can not give me discount, then verbally explain a number of other skiers such as "plow turn" in essentials, but also take the initiative to help me Photography, and the starting and tour guides, pointing tell me what the foot was originally a lake, mountain flowers bloom in summer Yabuli how beautiful daguokui the exact location of mountains, national ski team training site ... ...
Not to say that the experience gains are not always the case, and sometimes a gust of wind blowing, roll up a large Xue Wu, dip it in the face wet and cool, and think of a word called "Icy." Another thing to fall before the tour guide said that when the clothes will be stained with wet snow of water, but they are actually dry, a film on the out.
And most importantly, the end already with relative ease Dengzhe heavy snow boots onto the wooden ladder incomparable, unlike when you just put every inch of his legs welded to the ground like a like.
When skiing around too tense, tired out of a sweat, but do not feel the cold. To move around freely until the time when the removal of snow with ice-cold feeling slowly through the clothes Qinru skin. But I specifically go to the side of the snow to fall in. thick, not for anything else, just to the soft snow in this layer properly stepped a foot jumping a bounce to see their deep footprints left behind - can not be feet, this pair of snow shoes to waste Well. I had one to Harbin, the first thing is to take to the streets to buy a pair of cotton-padded shoes with non-slip function, but, when the tour guide said that the morning departure of the snow is very thick Yabuli must wear a gang of snow shoes, so they with higher market prices of many travel agencies are now bought a pair. Now take a look at the hard snow and others around the feet of the ordinary cotton-padded shoes, they can only vicious stamp on Jijiao, as compensation.
This is two pairs of shoes later became a total volume of luggage the most part, and returned to Guangzhou, semi-permanently shelved.
Yabuli, this Dingdingyouming ski area, it is so hastily counted visited before. Left me the impression that the winter Manjuan the Clouds, the color of dark ridges. Trunk fall out of the leaves of taupe, gray hills studded with thick manner. 11 Snow Road, as the solidification of the 11 waterfalls, winding from the top down.
Do not get too fixed idea, which to a spectacular, or blows, to describe it in such a season. Name stems from Yabuli Yabuli town, one is also a result of the construction of railways in the Middle East arising from a small town, the town name "Yabuli" comes from the Russian "Yabuluoni", "apple" means. But in this season, let me imagine lush apple orchard here, it is somewhat difficult.
Later, someone told me that beginner skiers to the ski resort than to go two Long Yabuli fit. The latter too technical, but relatively far away from Harbin, two three-hour drive Erlongshan only need 40 minutes.
Does not matter, and had only directed at the former name for itself to go. However, the road really well, otherwise, do not rush back on the 15 o'clock rush. Here in the winter darkness early, 4 points more than the sun has been basically has completed a circle in the sky, to a 5-point largely twilight sihe of.
Happens on this day way back in the car blocked for about an hour, until finally able to move, we see a street car has changed dramatically.
Is a car accident. In 2003 trips, I seem to always "Lu-yu," a car accident.
Back to Harbin, it is 7 pm.
The next day, walk in the city, watching the ice to see snow.
Early in the morning discovered that today have special luck: the window opposite the shop roof of a thick layer of white, the sky is still there were numerous, sprinkle salt to be flocculation, Oh, I actually witnessed snow. At this point do not swim, when?
Surmise from the airport Shunshou Na come on tourist brochures, I started in this city shuttle classic tourist spots.
First went to St. Sophia Church. The church was founded in 1907, is typical of Byzantine architecture - this is to copy the information, and anyway I have no knowledge of architecture, only knew that at face value, the church is small but the structure of Zhongxinggongyue , scattered complex loading Huangzhong indeed Dangde Qi "magnificent" word. It is only two points that attracted me the most, have a distant history. First, the whole wooden structure, has long been after the construction of masonry structures; two in the Far East region's largest Orthodox Church, but is now renamed "Harbin Architecture Museum of Art." Inside the church is the exhibition hall-style furnishings, and display the content and the church itself. In addition to the central dome-style chandeliers that hanging lamp, and a number of paintings on the wall around the outside, basically there is no trace of religion. Those paintings, mostly portraits of a single person may be what the saints of the photo, while the middle of the photograph, it is Jesus and his 13 disciples that famous dinner Dayton.
Although the St. Sophia's house so I am a little disappointed, but still very worth the extra拍几张照片appearance, and all angles are perfect, impeccable, so I started almost on the back of the church as a positive.
Snow is still under the sky flying. Snow Da Zhezhuan children, casually again perseverance kept the church falls on the various flat-topped the heap and the dome on top. St. Sophia dressed in snow suits, looking a little lonely-ching, a little bit lonely.
Also, leaving only a shell of.
From St. Sophia Cathedral to walk to Central Avenue, found in this street and the duration is very flexible - if the old European architecture, and is very interested in research, they can at this century-old street famous linger and carefully examine every part of what the style of a building, the Renaissance, Baroque, eclectic, or modern consciousness - many living specimens. But someone like me who do not see the doorway with excitement only to see half of the outsider, walking down the street Bop on a trip is also enough. No more detailed memories that only a very general impression: a classical atmosphere, Yang Pai.
This street is said that currently the largest in Asia, one of the longest pedestrian street. Come to an end across the road, that is, flood control monument, tower ladder under the Songhua River through - it is now, "Trinidad ice, Wan Li Piao," the entire surface of the river froze become "a vast expanse of whiteness earth really clean," will walk in the past.
Before I have been innocently, and wondering how the car into the river in the pocket of the Sun Island.
Some low-temperature will cause the brain cells slowly up it, IQs have dropped a little. Reasonably Yabuli colder, the starting temperature when the tour guide said there are minus 20 degrees, but he's still not as is now bathed in snow in the. Time, I in order to press the phone button, but the lowering of heavy gloves, fingers exposed to the air should be less than 10 seconds it, but the sting has been like a knife, but only some numbness. I hurriedly retracted hand gloves, began to worry about my fingers would frostbite.
But still like to dance with the snow. Before, it is the hexagonal snowflakes under a microscope to see, but now I have seen, and the beautiful hexagonal ice crystals, they quietly lay on my gloves on. The same six structures, not the same texture pattern.
If we can shoot down, even if the frostbitten fingers, then why not? I took off his gloves, took out the refrigerator, out like a digital camera ... ... The result is futile, how can one focus is blurred. A small light snow, and soon disappeared in front of me ... fuzzy ...
Chuaizhe, "Sun Island Snow Expo" propaganda leaflets, I have to go the frozen Songhua River. Look around, is a vast expanse of endless snowy field, it is conceivable that this summer, what kind of waves surging river.
Ahead is the Sun Island, airy voice is far from over loudspeakers to send over: "What a beautiful summer day where the sky is clear, however desirable a beautiful Sun Island ... ..."
A good classic, but I do not intend to visit again in the summer time.
Fortunately, followed by "I love you, Saibei snow. Durian Sasa, sky everywhere ... ..." - At the moment, this relatively easy to resonate.
The broad river - the ice surface, and take approximately 20 minutes over the last bar in the middle there is a period of 34 meters wide, shallow faults, exposing shallow the water, put up a temporary bridge above the revenue "toll" - I have a suspicious mind guessing: Could this fault is to the "toll" and deliberately carved?
They still have to Jiaoqian in the past. Is already very high-pitched singing loud and clear, and Sun Island seem to me a smile. I would like to in the past to see snow Fair.
Sun Island Snow Expo, has become the first 16th of the. I was inside Guangdang to sunset. Scenic large, said there were 50 million square meters, divided into 12 thematic area, with 9 million square meters of snow. I do not do not want all the reading, but within walking distance from the habenular - without any feelings of default, this is now more appropriate to capture the impression that cold in the brain, right?
A door is the national snow sculpture competition in various pieces of work, given a warm welcome. Each piece is very uniform size, about three meters square. The image of different themes, traditions such as the auspicious bumper grain harvest, the atmosphere such as the Beijing Olympic Games Chinese seal, or small minor heart congratulating each pull of the two men in the world, China's effective take-off dragon fly alone, animal model, there are animal world style realism, raising awareness and type of anthropomorphism, as well as cartoon magic class, imagination, in short, would not think of everything conceivable. Each piece marked with the brand of base units and the name of the author, as well as award-winning, it seems competition has ended a long time, because of these snow sculptures on display for too long, looks were a little indistinct.
Other topics scenic area of the snow sculpture of the reason is because a greater proportion of it, looks more majestic atmosphere. "Toy version" model igloo and the "reality show" with the snow covered house, or a very different feel.
Imagination, snow sculpture should be easier than the ice - snowman seems to be simple? However, in the entertainment district to see the hands of people making snow sculpture, and the ladder should be a hammer and chisel tool to complete, the original disposition of snow is hard enough.
Snow sculpture is also a professional manual labor naturally, it is everyone's Playing in the snow. Several staff members around the pile of snow, holding a dustpan bring visitors to the snow fun splashing each other. Raising the snow debris mapping in the sun, the fluttering Sasa hazy, a tourist carrying his long-shot to the side was pleased to "command" the crowd: "re-thrown about ... ... right, throwing in that direction, do not stop ah ... ... "
Old snow under the sun is the most touching.
Sun Island the name of this hot in this season, to imagine themselves an arduous task. The island was formerly a deposit made of the Songhua River beaches, the island's name but fail to recover the exact source. There are said to be earlier in the hunting and fishing here, the Manchu transliteration of a fish, there are said to be Daur to send the name of the sun's admiration for this piece of summer temperatures in the pricey beach, there is said to be the year in the Middle East in countries such as Japan and Russia after the construction of the railway The businessmen often in the sun, and some have simply said that Sun Island is like a sun - I think that this last claim Although the high-handed, but succinct, and decided to accept this.
Smart businesses are not wasted the reputation of Sun Island, the snow Bo was there "Dongjun Parade" show. Is actually a group of actors dressed in the northeast of ethnic minorities Niuzhe Yangko ran Hanchuan, Chuichuidada in the main scenic spots "circling the week." Although some hasty, whose name is very loud - I almost thought it was well documented in ancient folklore.
Another leaflet stated on a performance, "Snow Colorful", known as a day two. But I saw was an abandoned stage - may not have been improtance may also be this project has been canceled.
At night, leave the Sun Island, I went to Zhaolin Park. No, he only came Harbin, no reason not to look at the classic "Flying Colors of Ice", even though such a landscape on television and in the South Park area of artificial snow has been too much insight, there will be no feeling of surprise, but came to Ice's "authentic," the boundary of the hills to pray, or want.
Sun Island Snow Expo also has ice, a small number, but look in my eyes are crystal clear,冰清玉洁, probably because the material owes something huge ice towers in the sunset sail and ice under Fanchu little light, a kind of indescribable color, just like the flow of Enpa secretly, with a faint sigh ambiguous. A combination of ice and snow and sun, originally to this critical point is the best night under the artificial smearing of the color, contrast, it seems that some abrupt.
But still go to visit a visit, but there is no need to go far away land of Ice and Snow World. While the limelight in recent years, there has been covered Zhaolin Park, but I only get a superficial and a brief visit to Italy pays respects to the only.
Zhaolin Park is a veteran of the ice viewing points, cursory view of "light" one circle, I think it really declined. Here seem to have more chipping away ice, not only the kind of eye-catching size is not large, the content is relatively simple and traditional, fruit, sailing, Baoding, Temple of Heaven, monument, portrait ... ... only a little flavor of the times, the is a rocket containing "China" in the words of ice towering sky rocket bar - had to thank the "Shenzhou V" God, timely inspiration to solve the problem creators.
Park, the entrance there is an eye-catching ice arch :1963-2004. Tickets are specially marked on the figure 40, suggesting that the status of the veteran, it seems that trying to stays out of the extraordinary atmosphere of the former aristocracy.
I do not know after a few hours there will be another person, in the distant end of Hong Kong 40 years of her life. Many sad tears merged into the sea, warm and humid in that southern city.
I am hiding in the northern cold, so cold and numb the nerve. Perhaps, it is time lucky?
The third day, Gogol Street, + Long Tower deterred from shopping downtown Omaha to visit night.
Received the morning of her sister sent a text message. Anita Mui died.
I am very surprised that she actually not too upset, it may seriously weaken the nerves of such sentiments, has been in April for another curtain call in advance to the human who consume too much bar.
Always felt that she and he was a country. This slender, lonely woman.
Only, and finally even in 2003 had not Nengcheng in the past, there are still untold sentimental.
However, in 2004 we should come, the living still have to properly alive, she will certainly hope so.
Under such a final conclusion, I have decided to continue to use today's pace of measuring the ice city. Shining travel tips booklet to Gogol Street.
A very long street, but apart from a short distance with the European style buildings and street lights, and then can not find a lot of a Russian flavor. And the brochure describes the different, and so I finally found the so-called Sino-Russian commodity trade zone, the signs have already been transferred to another side street.
Here accidentally met an old lady selling stamps, spend half an hour lesson free of stamp identification lesson.
I do not want to buy stamps, but tired, and stopped in this little booth. Shou-old lady was enthusiastically sharing pulling stool: "girl, you do not buy it does not matter, I do not call you to buy. You sit down, I will give you talk about the stamps, long knowledge."
Length of knowledge, I know, but sell the stamps so rare to find a starting point. So I sat down, and listen to the old lady talked about half of family history: her share of the entire store stamps stamp dispatch, compared with the stamp of her company, which is only "store" the quantity, and then compared with her a few decade of collection, it is like a drop in the ocean. She wanted her daughter to study abroad for decades of stamp collecting habits, is now a way of making money.
What are you telling me this? Because I reminded her of her daughter studying in Australia.
True? I do not pursue. Anyway, in this half an hour, she said is a stamp by the letter. The origins and value of all stamps, how to use gum, printing, paper stamps to distinguish the authenticity of how businesses in a number of postal volumes of "water" approach. She does not deny that she is ready-made version, show me the side of the comparison, while suppressing the voice said: "logically, I should not have to tell you, I feel that businesses have to Shi-cheng, can not lie. I also have these flowers that sheet of paper ah, not stamps, that is to give children play. can everyone else was doing, if I put it bluntly, very bad. "
Interesting old lady. She has failed to convince me to buy her stamps, in fact, I would not even if she was encouraged to buy, but I like her until the end did not change the enthusiasm. To the end, I, I want to buy her two "former Soviet Union and Russia" stamp and coin in circulation, she symbolically accept it 2 money, but also accompanied by my two little badge-Leninism.
Bid farewell to the old lady, rushed to the Dragon Tower - radio tower in Heilongjiang Province. This 336 meters-high steel tower in Asia, located in Harbin's high-tech development zone, the completion of work a few years. The tower with this zone, I did not understand it, is listening to a description of Harbin nationality of my colleagues became aware of the family - the family of my colleagues with great enthusiasm, although never met, but it must be a play host. This last half-day sightseeing tour of the Dragon Tower is the owner's offer of an appointment with me - originally on the trip unplanned.
Long tower has science Museum, Wax Museum, Terra Cotta Warriors exhibition, calligraphy and painting exhibition, gold and antiquities exhibitions and so on, not too special place, in fact, the main purpose of the tower on the Dragon Pearl of the Orient to keep up with almost - condescending city list.
Tower height of 204 meters outdoor platform, left me a deep impression, even though I only spent a dozen seconds, but in this short span of ten seconds, I have fully experienced the mixture of bone-chilling cold and wind generated by fluttering power. Yi Gu a push open a door that is directly toward the wind came, I flew into staggering. The long scarf tucked the wind hit your face, how are allocated less than their minds. Three disheveled, mutual support with stumbled along the way moving a few meters, hurried back to the interior of the.
That kind of wind, estimated at more than eight. Bone-chilling cold is indescribable, in such a high degree, I estimate that there are thirty or forty degrees below zero.
However, a large stimulus fun, I really want to stay private longer point.
But the owner of pressing to Sincere me out of the revolving restaurant. Leisurely enjoying the buffet and enjoy the bright lights of the night outside the window and found that Harbin night than I imagined to be much more beautiful and prosperous, full of Chinese Lantern bright, lane straight spacious, beautiful building China and the United States, and there is no difference between some major cities along the coast. The owner said, this is the most prosperous of Harbin Development Zone, developed rapidly in recent years has it up - four years ago, my colleague from Heilongjiang to Guangdong when it was still a darkened land.
I say three years ago to go to Harbin, but is always dragged on the ground and appeared to be a very good one: due to the duty they can not find peers, because the spirit of the lack of cold preparations, or with the spirit of the preparations, but the lack of materials, and equipment: down pants, cotton pants, cotton shoes and socks, long scarf, thick gloves, and even high-necked cold underwear - were carefully set out on a list, most of which usually do not have access to, but value is not the Philippines, it seems too out of proportion to the investment and income.
But also knew that, all these can not withstand scrutiny of the pretext.
Was finally too much turbulence in 2003, suddenly wake up. Walk around the block in the raids a few hours, fully serviced all the equipment. Then, fully armed and wearing it, including Top Douzhu hair showing only the eyes, nose and mouth "terrorists hat" - because this form closer to the professional bank robbery dressed, so I give this cotton hat from the top of this name -- - to peep that ice city for three days.
Read like a three-year, three days solved. Overall feeling quite calm, as clean as snow and ice.
Validate a truth:求人不如求己.
