2004 New Year's Day, I am alone, away from home, perhaps destined to be the year for me to run around in the year.
Never thought of, New Year's first long journey is to go thousands of kilometers away north country, 39 the weather.
The aircraft after take-off stops, Qingdao, passing over the city and saw the beautiful curve of the coastline, the white surf, beach, there are rows of villas, had heard that the beauty of Qingdao, even in winter, unfortunately I have not set foot in in the future must come. Further north line, gradually out of the window can not see green, a vast expanse of whiteness, really "Northland scenery, ice thousands of miles, thousands of miles Piao ... ...", all the rivers of the early loss of surging.
In the landing gear of a second after touchdown, the aircraft-flying twist a bit, I clearly felt that the heart of the dramatic contraction in that moment. Fortunately, safe and sound and self-comforting think perhaps the Northeast who is love Niuyang Ge bar.
I was the second trip to Harbin, but they do not last season, did not appreciate the charm of the Bard. Harbin city a large scale, multi-sensory special taxi on the street, and asked the driver, and some say that there 15000, and some say that there 12000, almost all of the Jetta, are in the last three months came from the Xiali upgrade.
19:00 more leisurely eating rice, went straight to the Songhua River of Ice and Snow World. The way the driver says that he is the best season to see Ice, the best time. Onto the Songhua River highway bridge and found the whole Jiangdu has been frozen, the terminal next to two cruise ships, standing lonely in recent months, they should belong to hibernate. Over the bridge on the right is the Sun Island Scenic Area, a "Sun Island on the" order the number of people fascinating, of course, to sing the song of the Sun Island in summer, in fact nothing special scenery is known Bale. Said the park recently spent more than two million to buy a piece of "sun stone" on the island, I do not know what peculiar office.
Bridge in the left hand side is the Ice and Snow World, and in the dark winter night, the multicolored Ice particularly eye-catching, seductive. Harbin Ice Lantern Exhibition has been held for twenty years, this year's ice volume is 100,000 cubic meters, with snow 150 thousand cubic meters, large-scale, tickets have also risen to eighty yuan, really expensive. There are many door selling gloves, hats, and suggested that if he did not cap, it is best to spend money to buy a 5.
The door I would see a group of snow sculptures, Journey to the West theme, probably because of the upcoming Year of the Monkey Bar. Sculpture is not particularly careful, as the Northeast's rugged style. Climbing snow-capped mountains, drilling Bonbori went through iron chain bridge, when going downhill with the trouble, an exit is piled ice, in order to deliberately non-slip paved the snow layer, visitors walk more, exposing the ice surface, Thac slippery, and there is no suitable handrails, only careful hands clinging to the ice next to the fence (also very slippery, and use your fingers can go severely dig into the ice cracks are following), and then out Zhuanlian, buttocks in front, step down one step Norway, would the find any! Fortunately, I am not a local, illustrious. Safe landing and then look at others, but also so difficult, but funny like a group of penguins, the East West Pendulum shake from time to time bursts of screaming Ban Zhao.
Ice is the main body of the garden, from a large block of ice cream brick structure, an ice bar can be filled with my box. Some ice cream brick crystal clear, and some strings of the middle of his mouth, bubbles, while others, such as ice cream brick middle of the mist-shrouded, strange things. Ice each sponsor on both the ad, the largest Ice is enough to have five or six-story "high-Gap out of Pinghu," imposing (sponsor is China Mobile, true cattle), is interesting is that it can take five dollars rent a pallet from a few meters of ice to slide down the slope, is often not smooth in the end had been rushed off their feet, and yet I Yi Tangtang of it this way.
Beijing Temple of Heaven resembles an ice sculpture called the "ice altar," names that are appropriate inverted. 3 PLMM dressed in white, in the cold wind, hot music and dance in the audience surrounded by many tourists, mostly standing in situ skipped, and some cells with the rhythm of the music is rich in arts and self-satisfaction, and some is probably due to stand in the snow Village Event Buxing Le cold feet, for example, I am. There are side Ice Wall, pricey, and from above Shuaixiajigen hemp rope, section after section of the banner section rope, ice wall, took out some small ice hole, visitors can pedal Ice Wall pulling the rope climb. I tried it, at the foot of slippery, not risk. Almost every rope on both people, one does not PLMM halfway high, can not go up also stuck atop, wah-scream aloud. I am cool with a digital camera captured her embarrassment, indifference and walked away: a long ugly is not your fault, to climb so high is called so loud so that everyone knows you are a long ugly is your wrong.
The largest snow sculpture is "Dragon," says a huge unparalleled Snow Dragon, very dignified. There is a pair of small couple asked me to help them shoot a photo, Canon EOS, I am most familiar, shooting two, flash did not actually move, suddenly feeling no face, carefully check the camera's own flash actually was frozen without approach to pop-up!
Weather forecast says the temperature should be -23 degrees tonight, fortunately there is no trace of wind, or even five minutes in the snow, have insisted on not live, even so, I have not brought a hat is not even cold ears are found. Because of cold, did not go to the ice maze luck, no Quzuo snow coach, snowmobile, but afraid to taste it an attractive sugar-coated haws.
There is a Russian song and dance style garden, when we are frozen straight stamping, they must drill into it. A cup of tea, warm the body. Beauty in a table Toshio to see that Russia is a pure species, each is slightly built, natural material will dance. Unfortunately, too few Russian folk dance programs, but is a jazz-based nation is the world, unfortunately. Of course, the Russian girl's beauty left me a deep impression, left, before aiming the opportunity to partner with a Russian girl group photo, then I put this picture called "Beauty and the Beast", since that is very appropriate .
The Ice Lantern Show in Spring Festival, heard after the curtain call is necessary, and a lot of ice filling into the Songhua River Village (originally collected from there), No wonder last year, when passing by only a broken sight of.
The aircraft is at noon the next day, so the morning time to visit the famous church of St. Sophia. Down the taxi and saw the church is located in a middle of the street square, dark red walls green domes of the Byzantine architecture of the classic, elegant and poised. We are excited about a group photo in front of the church, unfortunately, the door was locked and can not go in to visit and decided to walk around on the back around it. Having just taken 10 steps, could not help laughing: So we are just excited to have the church back door! Fullness of the architectural modeling to deceive our eyes, this is perhaps its subtlety.
Went to the front door, even more grand and imposing, deep religious atmosphere. Sale of tickets, 25 yuan, the top read, "Harbin Architectural Art Museum." Into the lobby, there are enthusiastic instructors come to a church with the former model, said Sophia church in the Far East region's largest Orthodox Church, was founded in 1907, was originally a Russian army of the church, the whole wooden structure, a smaller scale, the reconstruction in 1923 to today's appearance. The whole church is not a chair, are standing Orthodox prayer, I think this is because you can stand away from Jesus near some.
The middle of a huge wall painting, the famous "Last Supper", Jesus, melancholy eyes that watched him pray for every one who is good or evil? God, lend me a pair of eye, and let me see this world clearly, plainly, broke the ... ...
Surrounded by a wall covered with religious murals very strong, sparse of the Department has exposed brick inside, said to the completion of these frescoes from the church up to now have not been deliberately repair, so that way I really appreciate the protection. Central Hall is a magnificent hanging extremely large chandeliers, European style, noble temperament, it is worth a good look to appreciate.
The church is organizing "The photo exhibition in Harbin," which became a pleasant surprise this time we visited. Through these photographs, we understand that the Songhua River in Harbin is one of the original Manchu small villages to promote the early twentieth century as trade gradually developed, only took less than a century of time has become a major provincial-level cities, real - is not easy. Recalling last year to the North-an, the local people often say the words before liberation "much of the north-an, a small Harbin", wanted to come to Harbin, a city the size of the time still is not big enough bar. There are some old photos to reflect Russia's old bar hostess, history really screw propulsion, and several decades later, the Russian girls they followed the footprints of their ancestors came, like those song and dance girl last night, when the they are the face of these old photos, what will be the frame of mind then?
