Harbin - Harbin

Harbin (哈尔滨; Hā'ěrbīn) is die hoofstad van Heilongjiang Provinsie in die noordooste Sjina. Die stad is opmerklik vir sy Russies invloed en die jaarlikse Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival, wat dit die nie-amptelike titel gee Ysstad.

Verstaan

Harbin is die noordelikste groot stad van China, met 'n bevolking van meer as 10 miljoen en meer as 4 miljoen in die middestad alleen. Die stad is baie beïnvloed deur die buurland Rusland, veral na die Oktober-rewolusie van 1917, toe die Russe van die Blanke beweging wat die afgesette tsaar ondersteun, na die kommunistiese oorname uit die land ontsnap het. Die invloed bly duidelik sigbaar in die boustyle en voedsel.

Die stad is in 1897 gestig as 'n kamp vir Russiese ingenieurs wat die Trans-Siberiese Spoorweg ondersoek. Arbeidseise het 'n versameling uitgeworpenes van regoor Rusland, Pole en selfs van binne Mantsjoerië gebring. Die stad is tydens die Tweede Wêreldoorlog deur die Japannese verower en later in 1946 deur die Chinese verower. Harbin was eens 'n Russiese gebou van die spoorlyn en het daarin geslaag om 'n belangrike speler in sy eie reg en die hoofstad van Heilongjiang-provinsie.

Onlangse geskiedenis

Noordoos-China is opgebou as 'n industriële sentrum met behulp van bestaande Sowjet- en Japannese fabrieke. Teen die 1980's kon hierdie verouderde en ondoeltreffende fabrieke nie bybly nie. Om die saak verder te bemoeilik, is begin in die vroeë negentigerjare groot gedeeltes van China se staatsondernemingswerkers afgedank. Net soos baie ander stede in hierdie streek, sukkel die hedendaagse Harbin dus met 'n ouer wordende werkmag en werkloosheid. Private ondernemings is meestal gesentreer in die dienstesektor, kleinhandel, restaurante, ensovoorts, met die meeste grootskaalse ondernemings wat nog staatsbesit is. Die provinsie het egter duisende staatsondernemings wat te koop is, en baie is sedert die laat negentigerjare aangekoop. Universiteite in Harbin speel ook 'n belangrike rol in die ekonomie in onderwys en navorsing en deur hul filiaalmaatskappye.

In 2005 was daar 'n groot besoedelingsstorting op die Songhua-rivier.

Klimaat

Harbin is bekend vir sy baie koue winters: in Januarie is die gemiddelde gemiddeld -24 ° C tot -12 ° C. Bring meer klere saam as wat u sal dink dat u nodig het, sodat u dit kan laag. Die winter kan somber word as u 'n langdurige inwoner is, want die hele stad gebruik steenkool vir hitte; luggehalte neem vinnig af gedurende hierdie maande. Maar dit is nie so erg soos Beijing nie, baie inwoners dra hul maskers nie vir die besoedeling nie, maar vir die yskoue wind en die ysige temperatuur om die lug wat hulle inasem, op te warm.

Harbin kan 'n uitstekende plek wees om in die somer te besoek, met dagtemperature gewoonlik in die boonste 20s ° C. In vergelyking met die meeste plekke in China, is die weer koel en lyk dit altyd wazig, en die meeste strate in die stad is met bome omsoom. Omdat die stad die hele winter so koud is, ontplof die lewe byna en mense drom tot laat in die nag straatjies op, eet kabobs, speel poker en drink Harbin Beer (哈啤 Hapi). Dit is 'n uitstekende ontsnapping uit die hitte van Beijing. Dit sal ook lekker wees om hierdie tyd van die jaar na die grensstreke te reis.

45.6194126.23451 Harbin Taiping Internasionale Lughawe (哈尔滨 太平 国际 机场 Hā'ěrbīn Tàipíng Guójì Jīchǎng, HRB ^IATA). Harbin se enigste lughawe en een van die belangrikste internasionale lughawens van Noordoos-China. Die lughawe is 37 km vanaf die middestad naby Taiping. Vlugte vanaf die lughawe bedien tientalle binnelandse bestemmings, tesame met 'n klein, maar groeiende lys internasionale bestemmings in Rusland, Japan, Suid-Korea, Taiwan, Thailand en Singapoer.

Die lughawe is klein, maar daar is 'n paar restaurante en versnaperinge wat plaaslike lekkernye, Chinese en westerse kos verkoop, en 'n nabygeleë hotel as u toevallig raak. As u uit Harbin vlieg, kan die meeste kaartjiesagentskappe vervoer reël om by die koste van die kaartjie ingesluit te word. Nog 'n opsie is om 'n taxi te neem wat ongeveer 100-130 ¥ kos. Onderhandel egter altyd oor hierdie prys. Bestuurders sal hul meters anders laat lees vir die rit, of probeer om u boonop vir die snelwegkaartjie te betaal. Vra asseblief die taxibestuurder vir fakture en neem die motornommer af indien nodig. Dit is veilig om 'n taxi met die amptelike sertifisering op die lughawe te neem. Daar is ook vier busdienste na die middestad van Harbin. Kaartjies kos ¥ 20 en duur ongeveer 1 uur. Koop buskaartjies by die stand binne die terminale voordat u na buite gaan om op die bus te klim.

Met die trein

Aangesien Harbin 'n groot Chinese stad is, is dit goed met die trein verbind en is dit 'n maklike manier om te reis. Die stad word deur verskeie treinstasies bedien, dus die stasie waarvandaan u aankom of vertrek, hang af van die trein wat u neem. Maak vooraf seker van watter stasie u trein bel. Die belangrikste treinstasies in Harbin sluit in:

• 45.75962126.627332 Harbin-treinstasie (哈尔滨 站), 1 Tielu Jie. Hierdie stasie word bedien deur die 'stadiger' treine en treine in die nag. Die tipe trein waarop u instap, sal die duur van u reis bepaal: Beijing (10-13 uur), Tianjin (12-13 uur), Dalian (9-12 uur) en Shenyang (4-7 uur). As u tyd by Harbin Station het, is daar 'n paar 24-uur-eetplekke oorkant die pad en 'n paar goedkoop hotelle in die omgewing. Daar is ook baie nie-amptelike taxi's wat buite wag, wat toeriste moet vermy. Gratis WiFi word voorsien, maar 'n Chinese SIM-kaart is nodig om 'n SMS te ontvang en die Wi-Fi te aktiveer. 
• 45.70431126.573623 Harbin-Wes Treinstasie (哈尔滨 西 站). 'N Nuwe treinstasie wat in 2012, wes van die middestad, gebou is, word bedien deur D-treine met hoë spoedkoeëls wat bedags en saans werk. D-treine wat hierheen kom, kom van groot stede, waaronder Beijing (8 uur), Tianjin (8 uur), Dalian (5,5 uur) en Shenyang (3 uur). Vanaf die stasie kan u die middestad bereik deur bus 96 te neem na die Harbin-treinstasie, wat ¥ 2 kos. Daar is ook huurmotors beskikbaar. 
• 45.78632126.704464 Harbin-Oos-treinstasie (哈尔滨 东 站), Nanke Jie. 'N Redelik klein stasie in Harbin, hoewel opgedateer, met treine vanaf Khabarovsk en Vladivostok, Rusland hier roep. Daarbenewens bedien die stasie plaaslike en streeksstreine. Kan bereik word deur sy eie metro-stasie aan die noord-oostelike punt van lyn 1. (Februarie 2017 opgedateer)

Daar is ook verskeie klein treinstasies in die stad. Hierdie stasies bedien streeks- en plaaslike treine, en in die meeste gevalle hoef die gewone reisiger dit nie te gebruik nie.

Met die motor

Harbin is met die res van China verbind via die China Highway 102 via Changchun. Harbin is ook verbind via 'n pad na Binne-Mongolië, Rusland, en Jilin.

Met die bus

Die belangrikste langafstand-busstasie (长途 客运站 Changtu Keyun Zhan) is oorkant die plein vanaf die hoofstasie.

Die meeste stede in Heilongjiang kan per bus bereik word.

• Beijing - duur ongeveer 18 uur
• Mudanjiang - duur ongeveer 4 uur. Gereelde vertrek.
• Qiqihar - duur ongeveer 5 uur
• Changchun - duur ongeveer 4 uur
• Jilin - duur ongeveer 6 uur
• Dalian - duur ongeveer 10 uur
• Shenyang - duur ongeveer 8 uur
• Wudailanchi - duur ongeveer 6 uur
• Yanji - duur ongeveer 9 uur

Op reis na Rusland

• Vladivostok - duur ongeveer 12 uur

Een daaglikse vertrek wat vroeg in die oggend vertrek. Koop kaartjies in die Russiese reisagentskap op die tweede verdieping van die busstasie. Die prys is basies dieselfde as om alleen deur Mudanjiang / Suifenhe te gaan.

As u al u vraestelle gesorteer het, is die grensoorgang eenvoudig. Wagte aan Chinese kant praat vlot Engels en is dalk nuuskierig oor nie-Russiese / Chinese paspoorte. U moet al u items saamneem as u die grens oorsteek; moenie tasse in die bus laat nie.

Kry rond

Met die taxi

Huurmotors is goedkoop en gerieflik. Vra hulle egter altyd om die meter te laat loop (请 打 表 qǐng dǎ biǎo) in plaas daarvan om 'n prys te probeer beding om moontlike konflik te vermy. Vlagval is ¥ 8 en beslaan die eerste 3 km reis. Daarna is die tarief ¥ 1 per 500 m. Daar word ook 'n heffing gehef op grond van die tyd waarop die motor stilstaan ​​(dit wil sê vas in die verkeer), maar dit is gewoonlik net van belang in werklik haglike verkeersomstandighede. Aan die einde van die reis sal 'n brandstoftoeslag van ¥ 1 bygevoeg word by die bedrag wat op die meter vertoon word. Sê vir die bestuurder as u 'n kwitansie wil hê (请 发票 qǐngfāpiào).

Daar is bekend dat taxibestuurders in Harbin roekeloos is - rooi ligte laat loop, aankomende verkeer inry, ensovoorts - so maak vas! Die meeste taxibestuurders praat nie enige Engels of lees Pinyin, dus tensy u vloeiend Mandaryns-Chinees praat, word die Chinese karakters vir u bestemming dikwels die enigste opsie. Moenie verbaas wees as die taxi stop tydens die spitstyd om ander passasiers op te laai nie, en as u deur 'n taxi saam met passasiers opgelaai word, selfs as die meter ¥ 13 noem wanneer u inklim, sal die taxibestuurder steeds van u verwag om te betaal die volle bedrag op die meter wanneer u met die taxi vertrek!

Met die bus

Nog steeds die ruggraat van Harbin se openbare vervoerstelsel, ten minste totdat die Metro uitbrei, beslaan die busstelsel omtrent elke deel van die stad. Alhoewel dit prakties is vir plaaslike inwoners, deel dit baie van dieselfde probleme van ander Chinese stedelike busstelsels vir toeriste, veral omdat die stelselaanwysings volledig in Chinees is, hoewel sommige busse die volgende stopinligting in beide Chinees en Engels bekend maak. Die busse wissel van gehalte, hoewel daar blykbaar 'n program bestaan ​​vir die opdatering van busse per roete. Moderne busse het verwarmingstelsels ('n uitverkoping in die winter!) En is albei relatief flink en versnel redelik vinnig. Ouer busse aan die ander kant kan sommige aan landbouvoertuie herinner, is gewoonlik onverhit en het miskien nie eens die regte seëls op die vensters nie. Dit kan gesê word: dit kan steeds 'n nuttige vervoermiddel wees, veral as dit lyk asof al die taxi's geneem word. Mense wat van plan is om vir 'n lang tydperk in Harbin te bly, moet ten minste vertroud wees met roetes wat hulle na hul woning, werkplek of universiteit neem.

Tariewe vir die meeste busse is slegs ¥ 1 of ¥ 2 vir 'n enkele rit. Geen kaartjies word uitgereik nie. Passasiers kan betaal deur met 'n 'IC'-kaart aan te raak of deur ¥ 1 of ¥ 2 in die tariefkas te sit terwyl hulle op die bus klim. Maak seker dat u by die agterdeur staan ​​as u by die volgende stop wil afklim, anders kan die bestuurder aanvaar dat niemand uitklim nie en moontlik die stop kan oorslaan. As ys u vensters bedek en u uitsig op die buitekant blokkeer, kan 'n plastiese bankkaart handig wees om dit af te skraap. Busse ry gewoonlik van 05: 00-06: 00 en die laaste diens is geneig om ongeveer 20:00 aan te gaan, afhangende van die roete. Hawkers op straat verkoop 'n kaart van groter Harbin met busroetes vir ongeveer ¥ 5.

Met die metro

Die Harbin Metro 地铁 地铁 het twee lyne in werking: lyn 1 en 'n kort gedeelte van lyn 3. Lyn 2 en die res van lyn 3 is in aanbou. Hulle is geskeduleer om in die vroeë 2020's in werking te wees. Wanneer dit voltooi is, sal hulle 'n "kruishaar" -netwerk vorm. In die praktyk het die Harbin Metro 'n soortgelyke gevoel as die meeste Chinese metro-stelsels, met dwarsdeur tweetalige tekens. Engelssprekende besoekers moet maklik genoeg deur die stelsel kan navigeer. Die stelsel is volledig ondergronds en gebruik spesiaal gemaakte treine wat kan werk by temperature van -38 ° C. Die stasies is ook in 'n Europese styl versier om Harbin se Russiese geskiedenis te weerspieël.

Eerste vertrek is om 06:00, en die laaste trein vertrek om 21:00. Tariewe kos ¥ 2-5, afhangende van die afstand. Die Harbin Jiaotong IC-kaart kan gebruik word, maar geen afslag word aangebied nie en omdat kaarte geskandeer word wanneer hulle met die metro verlaat, moet elke passasier hul eie IC-kaart gebruik. Kaartjie-masjiene is op alle stasies en kan in beide Chinees en Engels gebruik word.

Bedryfslyne is:

• Reël 1 Hierdie lyn verbind Harbin-Oos-treinstasie met Harbin-Suid-treinstasie via Dongdazhi Jie 东 大 直街 en Xidazhi Jie 西 大 直街, albei hoofweë in Harbin.
• Reël 3 (fase 1) Die eerste deel van 'n sirkellyn, hierdie lyn verbind met Yidaeryuan 医 大二 院 Station van lyn 1. Slegs vier stasies word gebruik. Nuttigste om by Harbin West-treinstasie getting 西 站 te kom

Bouwerk wat baan- of padversperrings veroorsaak, kan verkeerstoestande in verskillende dele van Harbin beïnvloed.

Met die veerboot

In die somer ry verskeie veerbote langs die Songhua-rivier, hoofsaaklik tussen die noordelike en suidelike oewer van die rivier. 'N Mooier, skilderagtige manier om na sekere bestemmings soos Sun Island te kom, as die gewone bus of taxi. Kaartjies word by die beskuldigdebank verkoop. Alle inligting is in Chinees.

Argitektuur en geboue

• Russiese geboue. Die ou wyk van Harbin, wat 'n wye gebied van die stad naby die Songhua-rivier beslaan, bestaan ​​vandag nog meestal uit geboue wat deur die Russe aan die begin van die 19de eeu gebou is. Die meeste is gebou in barok- of bisantynse styl met torings en koepels en interessante skakerings van geel, wit, groen of rooi. St. Sophia staan ​​bekend as die belangrikste argitektoniese trekpleister vir die stad, maar gebiede van die stad, soos die ou kwartier van Harbin, bestaan ​​uit geboue wat onaangeraak gelaat is sedert die Russe vertrek het. Alhoewel die meeste van hierdie strate redelik afgeleef is en herstelwerk nodig het, was die gebied ten minste vry van die wrakbal soos baie ander historiese distrikte in China. Net omdat Harbin nog die wêreld se belegging moes lok. 
• Zhongyang Dajie (中央 大街; Zhōngyāngdàjiē; lett. Sentraallaan) (Loop vanaf Jingwei Jie na Stalin Park by die rivier). Redelik baie sluit om 22:00 (naweekaande ingesluit). Hierdie geplaveide straat is 'n enigste voetgangerstraat wat kan dien as 'n perfekte oorblyfsel van die bedrywige internasionale sakebedrywighede aan die begin van die 20ste eeu. Die straat van 1,4 km is 'n ware museum vir Europese argitektuurstyle, waaronder barok- en bisantynse gevels, Joodse argitektoniese wonders, 'n Russiese restaurant, Franse modehuise (Fake Chinese Brands), Amerikaanse versnaperingskoswinkels (Mcdonalds en KFC en 'n Chinese besit. "American Bar"), en 'n Japannese restaurant. In die winter kan 'n mens op die ys loop of 'n hondeslee of perdeslee ry. Wat die stad betref, is dit die mooiste plek in Harbin. As u egter gedurende die naweek die middag gaan, wees dan bereid om die skare deur te druk. 
• Ou kwartier. 'N Gedeelte van die stad net wes van Zhongyang Dajie word steeds oorheers deur Russiese geboue wat rondom die eeuwisseling gebou is. Nie goed onderhou nie, maar 'n interessante wandeling, en u kan Russiese oudhede in sommige tweedehandse winkels vind. 

Godsdienstige terreine

• 45.768094126.6215221 St. Sophia-katedraal (圣 索非亚 教堂; Shèngsuǒfēiyàjiàotáng) (Hoek van Zhaolinstraat en Toulongstraat). Een van die min wat nog Ortodokse kerke in die stad staan. Dit word nou omskep in 'n Harbin Museum of Architecture. Binne is daar uitstallings met baie foto's uit die ou tyd. Dit is beslis die moeite werd om in te gaan, as u gewoond is aan Europese kerke, moet u nie die kwaliteit verwag nie. ¥20. 
• 45.7684126.61712 Harbin Jewish New Synagogue (哈尔滨 犹太 新 会堂; Hāěrbīnyóutàixīnhuìtáng), 162 Jing Wei Jie. Dit is gerestoureer en bevat 'n indrukwekkende versameling waarin die geskiedenis van die Jode in Harbin uiteengesit word. Daar was op een stadium 20 000 en die sinagoge is die moeite werd om te besoek. Verder op Tong Jiang Jie is die ou sinagoge wat nou 'n jeugherberg en kafee is, met die ou Joodse skool langsaan - albei die moeite werd om van buite af na te kyk. ¥25. 

• 45.7764126.6653 Temple of Heavenly Bliss (极乐寺; Jílèsì), Dongdazhi-straat (东 大 直街; Dōngdàzhíjiē) (In die oostelike deel van die stad). Groot en aktiewe Boeddhistiese tempel. ¥10.  
• 45.7738508919126.66883796454 Harbin Confucius-tempel (哈尔滨 文庙), 25 Wenmiao Street (文 庙街 25 号) (reg langs die kampus van die Harbin Engineering University, ongeveer 1 km oos van die Harbin Engineering University metrostasie op lyn 1), ☏ 86 451 82538438. 08ː30-16ː30, op Woensdae gesluit. Hierdie Confucius-tempel is een van die grootste in sy soort in die noordooste van China. Vry. 

Gebied

• LaoDaoWai (老道 外). LaoDaoWai was vroeër die armste deel in Harbin. 'N Eeu gelede was daar net twee distrikte in Harbin, oos (DaoLi, "Dao" beteken Laan, en "Li" beteken binne.) En wes (DaoWai, "Wai" beteken buite). Die ryk expats het in die oostelike deel gewoon, en die arm inwoners in die westelike deel. In die vroeë 1920's het sommige Chinese sakelui hul besigheid in die omgewing begin. Die konstruksies wat hulle rondom daardie tydperk gebou het, is gekombineer met Chinese elemente, soos kraan- en pioenontwerpe, en barokstyle, en vorm 'n unieke argitektoniese styl "Chinese Barok". In 2014 het die regering die gebied hernu en nou is dit 'n toeriste-terrein.
  Deesdae is LaoDaoWai ('Lao' beteken oud.) 'N gebied waar 'n mens 'n plaaslike lewe kan ervaar (dit beteken die unieke argitektuurstyl, en kos, kos, kos, kos en kos). Die gebied word vaag omskryf binne Shengping St 升平 街 (noord), Jingyang St 景阳 街 (wes), Nanxun St 南 勋 街 (suid) en Nanershi St 南 二十 街道 (oos). As u verward is oor waar om mee te begin, by Jingyang St, tussen Nanxun St en Jingyu St 靖宇 街, is daar 'n later ingang vir die LaoDaoWai-area. Begin daarvandaan en loop na die ooste, en u sal al die klein straatjies sien kruis. Daar is baie deure (inwoners noem hulle "MenDong" 门洞), wat vanaf die eerste oogopslag soos privaat eiendom kan lyk, tussen klein winkels. Loop deur die deure en bereik die tuin binne en die volgende straat.
  Daar is talle versnaperinge en restaurante in die omgewing, en dit is 'n belangrike trekpleister. Hou in gedagte dat die snackbars volgens Chinese definisie is, en baie klein met min tafels. Dit is die smaak van Harbin en baie gewild. Maar as u westerse style verwag (lugversorging, kelners praat / spyskaart in u moedertaal, ens.), Moet u nie die moeite doen nie. As u ook een van diegene is wat kalorieë tel vir elke hap, moet u ook nie gaan nie, want dit is ongesond om na ander te kyk terwyl u nie eet nie.
  Sommige van die gewilde nosheries is (van wes na oos):
  Zhang se gevulde broodjie 张 包 铺 aan die kruis van Nanxun St en Naner St 南 二 街. Gewildste disse is ribbolle uns 包, tofu bun 豆腐 包. Op die besige tyd verwag om die tafel met ander te deel.
  Li's Grilled Meat 李家 扒 肉 馆 op No.25 BeiDaLiuDao St 北大 六 道街 is vir vleisliefhebbers. Voel hoe die vark in jou mond smelt.
  Nanbashun 南 八 顺 by Nanba St 南 八 街. Soortgelyk aan warm pot. By Nanba St is daar ook 'n goeie pannekoekwinkel. U kan u volgende dieetperiode na die besoek beplan.
  LaoRenYi Restaurant 清真 老 仁义 饭店 met verskeie takke is 'n ou en gewilde halal-restaurant. Must try sluit gestoomde bolletjies in.
  By Shiliudao St 十六 道街 is daar 'n ou mark met BBQ-insekte.

Feeste

Internasionale ys- en sneeu-beeldhoufees

By verre Harbin se grootste aanspraak op roem, die Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival (哈尔滨 国际 冰雪节; Hā'ěrbīn Guójì Bīngxuě Jié) word elke jaar gehou, wat vanaf vroeg in Januarie duur totdat warm konstruksies erodeer (presiese datums wissel). Dwarsdeur die stad sal u klein ys- en sneeu-beeldhouwerke tydens die fees vind, maar daar is drie belangrike terreine met groot ys- en sneeu-beeldhouwerke.

• 
• 
• 
• 

Die belangrikste terreine vir die Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival sluit in:

• 45.7782126.5581 Ys en sneeu wêreld (冰雪 大世界; bīngxuě dàshìjiè), Noordekant van die rivier, wes van Sun Island (Neem bus 47 vanaf Daoli 12-stasie (道里 十二 道街 站)). 09:00-21:30. Groot geboue en beelde van ys. Die beste besigtig na sononder. Hierdie fees is een van die belangrikste redes waarom mense in die winter na Harbin kom. ¥ 330 (studente ¥ 160, toegang is ¥ 100 voor 13:30). (Februarie 2019 opgedateer)
• Ysfees, Zhaolin Park (冰雪 游园会, 兆麟公园; Bīngxuě yóuyuánhuì, Zhàolíngōngyuán), in die middestad by Zhaolin Park, suid van die rivier. 13:30-21:30. Nogal klein uitstallings in vergelyking met die ander twee hooffeeste. Besigtig na skemer. ¥ 200 (Studente: ¥ 80, toegang is goedkoper voor 13:30). 
• 45.7886126.59072 Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Art Fair (太阳岛 国际 雪雕 艺术 博览会; Tàiyángdǎo guójì xuědiāoyìshù bólǎnhuì), op Sun Island, noordekant van die rivier (Slegs 'n paar treë van die Sun Island-gondolstasie af, of steek die bevrore rivier te voet oor). 08:00-17:00.

Redelik duur vir wat u te sien kry en alle ander aktiwiteite in die park is ekstra. ¥ 240 (studente ¥ 120). (Februarie 2019 opgedateer)

Ander

• ^{[dooie skakel]}Harbin-somermusiekfees (哈尔滨 之 夏 音乐 节; Hāěrbīnzhīxiàyīnyuèjié). Hierdie fees word elke twee jaar in Julie gehou (die volgende sal in 2018 wees) en word deur die stad gereël en bring bekende Chinese bands in vir gratis konserte wat op die stadsplein gehou word. 
• Harbin Internasionale Bierfees (哈尔滨 国际 啤酒节; Hāěrbīnguójìpíjiǔjié). Laat Augustus van elke jaar gehou. Die stad neem 'n blaaskans en vereer die plaaslike "Harbin Beer" vir 'n week. 'N Hele openbare plein is afgesper en daar is verhoë wat musiekkonserte en danswedstryde aanbied. Die meeste bier wat gedrink word, is die plaaslike Harbin-brou, maar daar is 'n tent vir internasionale bier. In die somer van 2005 het 'n aantal buitelanders in die stad 'n 'drinkspan' saamgestel en uiteindelik met 'n paar inwoners 'n dronk baklei gekry en deur die polisie weggesleep. 

Ontspan

• Sauna / badhuise (洗浴 中心; Xǐyùzhōngxīn). Letterlik regoor die stad. Baie plaaslike mense stort nie in hul eie woonstelle nie, maar gebruik eerder hierdie openbare storthuise. Daar is luukse, middelmatige en lae plekke. Raadpleeg 'n 5-ster-hotel om die nuutste fasiliteit te kry vir die tipe wat u verkies. Luukse spa's kos ongeveer ¥ 120 plus ekstra ¥ 200 en meer vir 'n massering. Lae kostes kos ¥ 30 plus ekstra ¥ 100 vir masserings. Shanghai Tan (上海 摊; Shànghǎitān) en Jiannianhua (嘉年华; Jiāniánhuá) is twee van Harbin se langste gevestigde sauna- / badhuise, maar deesdae word hul fasiliteite heeltemal verwaarloos omdat nuwe toetreders klante aflei. 
• WB Internasionale Fliekteater (万达 国际 电影 城; Wàndáguójìdiànyǐngchéng), Zhongyang Dajie Wal-mart. ¥ 50 plus vir kaartjies. 

Oefening en fiksheid

• Yangge Tradisionele Chinese dans. U sal oplet dat daar gedurende die warmer maande (en selfs soms in die winter) legioene van senior burgers op straat sal wees wat 'n groepdans sal uitvoer, kompleet met dromme en kostuums. Dit word genoem niu yang ge en as jy avontuurlustig is, spring net in en dans saam! 
• Rolbal. Baie gewild onder die Chinese in Harbin. Die meeste van die groter hotelle het 'n rolbalbaan. Daar is ook 'n rolbalklub agter die Sino Way-hotel met 2 verdiepings en pooltafels. 
• Swem. Glo dit of nie, mense swem gedurende die winter in die Songhua, maar na al die besoedeling is dit waarskynlik nie eens veilig om in die somer te swem nie. As u op soek is na 'n skoon swembad om in te swem, probeer die swembad by die Shangri-La Hotel of die Heilongjiang Universiteit. 
• Haerbin Grecism International Health Club (哈尔滨 恒 详 国际 健身 俱乐部; Hāěrbīnhéngxiángguójìjiànshēnjùlèbù), 95 Hayao Road (道里 区 哈药 路 95 号; Dàolǐqūhāyàolù). Een van Harbin se mooiste gesondheidsklubs wat 'n volledige swembad, Amerikaanse oefentoerusting, sauna en bubbelbad, binnebaan en kafee insluit. Lidmaatskap is duur. 
• Fitness Ark Gesondheidsklub (美丽 方舟 健身 俱乐部; Měilìfāngzhōujiànshēnjùlèbù), 3de verdieping van Hate Mall, 118 Xidazhi Jie (南岗区 西 大 直街 118 号 哈特) (Naby HIT). Dit is 'n wonderlike en goedkoop gesondheids-klub. Buitelandse studente en onderwysers kuier hier. 

Werk

Sien ook: Werk in China

Vir buitelanders is feitlik die enigste werk Engels onderrig. Daar is poste by openbare en private skole. As u in die stad is en nog nie werk het nie, gaan kyk na die bulletinbord by Hamama's Kofi House.

Leer

Harbin is die sentrum vir hoër onderwys in Noordoos-China, en het verskeie toonaangewende universiteite, waarvan die bekendste Harbin Institute of Technology is. Die universiteite vorm 'n groot deel van die ekonomie van die stad en het 'n groot deel van die bevolking in diens. Baie van hierdie skole is deur die Russe gestig en behou steeds die argitektoniese bekoring van hul voorgangers. Daar is ook verskeie mediese universiteite in die stad wat plaaslike hospitale ondersteun.

Studeer Chinees

Harbin is bekend vir sy standaard-uitspraak in Mandaryns. Dit is 'n baie goeie plek om Mandaryns te studeer. Soos die spreekwoord lui: 'As u Chinese taal wil studeer, kom dan na China. As u Mandaryns wil studeer, kom na Beijing. As u standaard Mandaryns wil studeer, kom na Harbin. ' It can be a cheap alternative to Beijing for studying Mandarin, with tuition costing about half and housing one third of what it would be in Beijing or Shanghai. Most universities have lots of Korean and Russian students. There are a couple of cheap Western cafes and a small but lively foreign student social scene at the local expat hangouts on the weekends, such as Blues. Many schools in Harbin offer Chinese language programs:

• Harbin Institute of Technology^{[dooie skakel]} (哈尔滨工业大学) About 300 foreign Mandarin Chinese students a semester. Good facilities, although the teaching methods employed in the non-CET courses are considered outdated by many of the foreign students and most of the professors are not actual full-time professors. Large Russian and Korean population. Home to the American CET Harbin program with 5-30 students a semester, which is probably the best program in Harbin but expensive — US$10,000 a semester — and the students can only speak Chinese while they are in Harbin.
• 45.7141126.6171 ^{[dooie skakel]}Harbin University of Science and Technology (哈尔滨理工大学).  
• 45.8687126.56032 Harbin Normal University (哈尔滨师范大学).  
• Haerbin Engineering University (哈尔滨工程大学)
• Heilongjiang University (黑龙江大学) Claims to be the biggest Chinese learning center in the province.
• Northeast Agricultural University (东北农业大学) dairy and food research center
• Northeast Forest University (东北林业大学)
• Harbin University of Commerce (哈尔滨商业大学)

Also, the city offers the opportunity to study Mandarin Chinese one to one:

• The Harbin Mandarin School encourages a complete immersion in the study of Mandarin, thereby imparting a unique understanding of the need for fluency and nature of a subject while building skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Studying TESOL

• Will-Excel TESOL Institute

Will-Excel TESOL offers a TESOL Diploma program which combines a 160-hour classroom TESOL course in Harbin with a 6-12 month paid teaching-term in Harbin or another city.

Studying other subjects

If your Mandarin is good enough you can enroll in most of the schools in Harbin. Many Pakistani students study Medicine at the Heilongjiang Medical University. Tuition is cheap.

Koop

Imported Russian goods of all types and qualities are available from tourist shops around town. Look out for vodka, Russian dolls, and chocolate. The local Chinese appeared to have picked up some aspects of Russian cuisine, with western style bread and sausage available around town. Beyond this, the shopping is much like any other city in China.

• Churin Shopping Center 秋林公司 No.319 Dongdazhi St. Bowuguan Metro Station 2 or 3A Exits. Founded in 1900, Churin is an icon of Harbin. The underground floor of the shopping center sells the most famous red sausage and хлеб ("Lieba 列吧“the big Russian bread). Also do remember to try the non-alcoholic drink brewed from Lieba, Da Lieba Gewasi 大列巴格瓦斯.
• Zhongyang Dajie The main shopping district is along Zhongyang Dajie where there is a Wal-Mart near the flood control monument and another shopping district along Guogeli Jie where you can find clothing, food and more. Along this street are huge new shopping malls such as the Euro Plaza, Parksons, and Lane Crawford that carry international brands and are expensive. There are Nike stores, KFC and interesting Russian thrift stores. The street is lined with beer gardens during the summer.

However in winter, the shops closed quite early due to bitter cold.

• Guogeli Dajie (果戈里大街). Harbin's second biggest shopping district after Zhongyang Dajie (bigger in size). The area around here is dotted with Russian buildings and HUGE shopping complexes. At night there are numerous night markets, a small scale Russian church where people dance, and a small and lively "bar lake."
• Indian Street (印度一条街). A commercial side street right off Guogeli Dajie. If you're facing the East, it's past the giant castle and on your right. Used to be complete with Indian thrift stores, clothing, and food, but now offers only Russian items, including dolls, pocketknives and toys. But don't expect any Indian restaurants as there aren't any yet.

Geld

Most ATM's around the city work with international cards, such as the Bank of China and the China Merchants Bank.

• Western Union, in almost every China Post 中国邮政 zhongguo youzheng and Agricultural Bank 农业银行 nongye yinhang, look for the yellow western union sign. 西联汇款 xilian huikuan in Chinese 
• Bank of China Heilongjiang Branch, No.19, Hongjun Jie, ☏ 86 451 3633518-8111, faks: 86 451-3646455. This is the only bank in the city where you can exchange Travelers Checks. 

Unique items

• Harbin Sex Store/Museum on Guogeli Dajie sells all sorts of sex materials and toys. Kind of unexpected for conservative China.
• Pirate DVDs A large DVD store occupies a corner in the basement of the Jiaohua Electronics Market (教化电子市场). All DVD's are around ¥6 and arranged alphabetically. Opposite from the Harbin Institute of Technology's main gate (哈工大正门对面) and across the street from Buy Now Hui. Be sure and buy the DVDs sold in the main store, and not at the numerous small kiosks that take up the rest of the basement.

Kleredrag

• Sofia Jintaiyang Fashion City (金太阳索菲亚精品城) around the corner from St. Sophia Church (道里区地段街) is Haerbin's answer to Beijing's Xidan. Multi story fashion market lined with small stalls selling the hottest fashions from China at cheap prices.
• Hongbo Century Square (红博世纪广场) not to be confused with the underground market, this is a huge mall in the basement of the Harbin exhibition center. There is also a fried chicken chain from Texas. There are daily fashion model shows.
• Chinese Military Surplus Clothing Looking for a comfy cold weather jacket like the Chinese wear? There are a number of stores around the city. One is towards the end of Xidazhi Jie near the Harbin Institute of Technology.

Everyday needs

• Carrefour. There are several other Carrefours in the city.
• Watsons right on Zhongyang Dajie this small convenient store has every health care product you can think of including western deodorants and shampoo. If you're in the city just for a few days and you need something quick it's fine, but if you plan to stay in Harbin longer, find yourself a Chinese convenient store. Watsons has a lot of European and American Brands but also the multiple of the prices the same things have in the west. And you still may want to avoid Chinese bleaching creme for your face (especially if you have sensitive skin) and that you can do in a Chinese convenient store, too.
• Metro German Supermarket (麦德龙) near Maidelong Chaoshi (道里区埃德蒙顿路职工街1号). German owned walmart type supermarket with the city's biggest selection of western food, a huge selection of imported wine, alcohol and beer, cheese, pastas and ice cream. It's all there, including the steep prices!

Begroting	Under ¥30
Midde-reeks	¥30-100
Splurge	Over ¥100

If there is one thing special about Harbin, it has to be the food. Taking influences from Russia, Mongolia, Korea and of course China, the food in Harbin is much "heartier" than you can find anywhere in China, and stews and other duncai are popular dishes. Because the winters are long here you'll find less exotic ingredients and heavy use of vegetables like cabbage, potatoes, cucumber and corn. Chinese BBQ or shaokao and Hot Pot is also equally popular in Harbin and is a must eat once you get into town.

One thing you will notice is that Dongbei people love to eat, and its not just for the food, but for getting all their friends together at one table and drinking/eating the night away. Thus this city is dominated by restaurants with large tables that seat groups of people. Besides small food stalls, only near the Universities and busy shopping areas will you find cozy little restaurants. In Harbin, liveliness (renao) attracts customers and much as the food; some restaurants are so loud you may need earplugs!

Drink

Just because Harbin is below freezing a good amount of the year, doesn't mean it's devoid of nightlife. In fact, Harbin is one of the "rowdier" cities in China. Just don't expect Shanghai or even Beijing "quality" establishments. Most places in Harbin have puke stains on the toilets that are months old. With a good number of foreigners living in the city studying and working, the weekends are always bustling around 2-3 locations such as Blues, The Box, Pacers, or the small bars around the Universities. Dongbei people are reqing (热情) or very lively and seem to drink with almost every meal! Oftentimes at restaurants you'll see drunk men singing away and then lighting up their cigarettes to signal the night is coming to an end. And of course what would be better than to spend the wee hours of the night singing away to the tune of Titanic and Michael Jackson at one of the KTV's that can be found at almost every street corner!

In Harbin, people often start off the night at a cheap shaokao or Hotpot restaurant washed down with ¥1.5 bottles of Hapi. After a long dinner its usually to one of Harbin's clubs or bars to spend the rest of the night. If you are not a fan of the drinking scene, Harbin may not be for you as there isn't much else to do. That being said, there are dozens of small bars and a few cafes, so if you are not one for dancing and loud discos there are plenty of options. Some non-drinking activities include bowling, pool, or visiting a tea house.

Klubs

Many discos that cater mainly to Chinese have table minimums. That is, each table has a different minimum purchase to sit there and you must purchase at least that much as soon as you sit down. They won't trust that you will eventually purchase enough over the course of the evening. Some even have the price of the table on a tent card sitting on the table. You can try and get around this sales tactic by saying you want to just have a look around (wo yao xian kan kan) and hope that they forget about you.

• Blue's (布鲁斯酒吧), 100 Diduan Jie (地段街100号). Dirty, crowded, and dangerous. Everything that is Harbin, Russians, Mongolians, Turks, Canadians, Brazilians, Koreans. Frequent staging ground for fights between Koreans and Mongolians or Russians fighting with Russians. The staff has also been known to get involved in fights or start them. Friday nights 22:30 and afterward get really crazy when about 80% of Harbin's foreign newcomers head out to Blue's to party. Also, at 23:00 you can buy a bottle of Vodka for ¥10, but it is devil water from Anhui has made many people go nuts and dance on the pole for hours. During the week it is full of Chinese. 
• (哈尔滨麦莎慢摇酒吧俱乐部)(道里区兆麟街21号). A large club with lots of singing and performances. Mostly tables but there are people dancing. 
• Dijie Manyao Bar (帝街慢摇吧), 2 Manzhouli Jie (满洲里街2号). Another bar with scantily clad dancers. 
• Camp David (大为营). Looks like a giant castle, used to be the expat hangout in Harbin before Blues. Full of people nonetheless. This place has gone through many name changes, there's a KTV there now in 2019. 

Bars

Most bars in the city are clustered around the universities and tourist districts. The Development Zone has some bars as well but they are more expensive.

The campus of Harbin Institute of Technology (复华小区) is surrounded with a number of small and cozy bars. HIT itself has a number of foreign teachers and hundreds of foreign students. Some notable bars here are:

Sky Bar/Cafe: A new bar back on the scene after closing down a couple of years ago. A cosy little pub in an old Russian-style building. Widest range of imported beers in town. Amazing fish and chips, burgers and other pub food. Staff are fluent in English and good to sit around and chat too. Big screen TV for live sports....just ask them and they will put it on for you. They have Trivia every Thursday and Texas Hold'em on Tuesdays. The best place to hang and meet others in "The Bin."南岗区砖街13号（曲线街砖街交口附近）。

At the middle portion of Guogeli Dajie (果戈里大街) near Children s Park (儿童公园) there is a small man made lake that is surrounded by 10 or so small pubs and a fountain. During the warmer months this small square is packed with people out for a night stroll and is really lively. This also seems to be a place for the trendy teens and college age kids to hang out. If you continue walking down Guogeli Dajie there are a few more small bars dotting the street. Great for people watching! For about ¥100 you can order a "beer tower" (啤酒塔 pijiuta), which is a tall plastic tube with a spigot on the bottom. At the other end of the lake there is a restaurant that resembles TGI Friday's, as besides the name being changed to DJ Friday's almost everything else has been copied. What makes this place really stand out from the real TGI Fridays are the scantily clad Russian dancers.

Near Heilongjiang University (黑龙江大学) on Xue Fu #4 street there are some restaurants and cafes, but no bars.

Teahouses and cafes

There are a number of very nice teahouses in the New Development Zone (开发区). Most will rent you a room and will charge by the hour, plus whatever tea you decide to drink. Some of the teahouses are on Hengshan Lu (衡山路) such as 君如意茶楼， 雅泰茶楼.

• Starbucks, Zhonyang Dajie (one in Europlaza and one in the corner in a bigger shopping-mall, quite at the beginning of Center Street.). Coffee house, here you can meet a lot of foreigners a bit more expensive than usual in China, price range is converted about the same as in Europe, and not necessarily good, especially the snacks there are targeted at Chinese who want to feel a bit the European flair. (Maart 2015 opgedateer)
• Costa Coffee, Zhonyang Dajie, quite close to the Flood Monument, next to a Russian Shop and Babelas Kitchen. Coffee House, unlike Starbucks it's not quite as packed with people and you can still meet a lot of foreigners here a bit cheaper than Starbucks in some things, but mainly the same applies here too, Chinese western snacks and no real coffee. 
• USA Bucks, Zhonyang Dajie. Coffee house and bar 
• 45.7712126.61091 Luyu Cafe (鹿鱼咖啡), 43 Hongzhuan Jie 红专街43号(靠近中央大街) (Just a few meters left from Zhongyang St.), ☏ 86 136-13644362. This is a good place to relax and escape the crowds or to warm up on a cold winter day. Situated in a historic Russian building right next to Zhongyang street, the warm atmosphere and nicely decorated surroundings, combined with a creative coffee blend from the friendly owner, will let you forget that you're in a city with a population of 10 million. ¥30. (Februarie 2019 opgedateer)

Lewendige musiek

There is a Jazz Bar on GuogeLi Dajie that often has a piano/sax duo playing, and guitar/vocalists can be found at some of the smaller bars around HIT and Hei Da.

Slaap

Begroting

Almost every bath house in the city has a large room with 50-100 plush beds where you can spend up to 24 hours. You can also lock your belongings in a locker and use their shower facilities, most of them have an 'all you can eat' buffet as well. Total around ¥50 which just can't be beat. Look for signs that say 洗浴 and make sure its fairly big as the smaller ones will not provide these types of services. When you come in pack light as to not look suspicious. This is not recommended for inexperienced travelers and it is highly unlikely any of the service staff will speak English.

Formerly Singapore Hotel (新加坡大酒店) and "Wanda Hotel", this is arguably Harbin's only other 5 star hotel, out in the new development zone, so not your best bet, but if you are in town for business and you are looking for something other than the Shangri-La, this is the hotel for you. Newer facilities may mean better conditions than the Shanggrila.

Other 5 star hotels have been established. The New Paris Hotel is a 5 star hotel that is quickly gaining popularity. It has very luxury facilities and a very impressive lobby. Bremen Hotel is also a nice hotel, it has been said that the Bremen Hotel in Harbin, has possibly the most comfortable beds in Harbin. These two hotels are in central Harbin. Both on Zhongshan Road.

Bly veilig

While it is unlikely that you will be a victim of a crime, as in any large city be vigilant about your personal property, exercise care if you find yourself on a lightly traveled street, and always be aware of your surroundings.

Most trouble that people run into in Harbin revolves around drinking at the clubs. Harbin is famous in China for being a "rough" city, and locals pride themselves on their machismo. Fights are common on the weekends and while this may not directly involve you, it's best to leave at the first signs of conflict. Don't expect bar security to come to your rescue.

• Avoid going to clubs alone.
• Be vigilant of your personal property and be aware of your surroundings. Especially if you're taking the bus, Chinese buses are crowded and you will be shoved and pushed a lot, if you're standing at the doors it's all the worse.
• Be careful when crossing the street. Keep an eye on the locals and cross with them.
• Dress warmly and in layers during the winter months.
• Avoid fish caught in the Songhua River as it was contaminated by benzyne in November 2005 – fish is available from the many lakes surrounding Harbin.
• Avoid going into small bathhouses and small KTV alone, as you may end up being forced to pay for a bill you didn't order. If you choose to go, be mindful of what you are getting into and leave at the first sign of illegal activity. People interested in a "massage" with extras should avoid doing it in Harbin.

Free emergency telephone numbers:

• Police: 110.
• Fire alarm: 119.
• Medical care: 120.

Remember these three telephone numbers. They are valid on most of the Chinese mainland.

Foreigners in Harbin

The vast majority of the foreigners living in Harbin are either Russian or Korean, with the Russians obviously being the more visible of the two. Much of the famous "Dongbei hospitality" has worn thin, with native Harbiners holding an increasingly negative view of foreigners in general. But that does not under any circumstances mean that they will not stare at you or take pictures of you, especially if you have fair hair and coloured eyes, and for men a beard. Some will come up to you and ask for a picture with you or if they can touch your hair, but more often than not you will just "accidentally" find yourself in the viewfinder of a mobile phone or camera.

There are also a small number of European and Brazilian professionals working in the city, as well as a number of English teachers hailing from various countries. However, the lack of foreign investment in the province as a whole means that most of the resident expats are either students or teachers. There are also a number of African and Middle Eastern students studying at the high-profile Harbin Institute of Technology.

Internet

The city is littered with net bars (网吧 wangba) that are usually very cheap and do not require I.D at the door like the ones in Beijing. The biggest Internet cafes are near the universities like Harbin Institute of Technology and Hei Da. Be forewarned that sometimes you may have to wait for a computer depending on what time of day it is (17:00-24:00 are the worst, school is out) and that the Internet connection can sometimes be down for days at time in various parts of the city. Also, these places are filled with a haze of smoke and Chinese screaming obscenties after they lost a game of Counter Strike or World of Warcraft.

Al die rekenaars is in die Chinese taal, maar gebruik steeds vensters, dus dit is relatief maklik om te gebruik. U kan nie by Net bars druk nie. Probeer om na 'n druk- of kopieerstasie te gaan druk - soek die Chinese karakters 复印 (fuyin) of 打印 (dayin).

Telefone

As u die notule op u China Mobile / Unicom / Telecom SIM-kaart wil hervul, kan u probleme ondervind, want baie min plekke in die stad verkoop die hervulkaarte. In Harbin moet u na 'n werklike winkel gaan en die geld aan 'n verteller betaal om u foon te laat hervul, en u kan die dorpsnommers gereeld by China Mobile of China Unicom Branches invul.

Hanteer

Harbin is bekend vir sy wrede winterweer. Sorg dat u voldoende klere het en die ledemate beskerm. Handskoene, dik sokkies, serpe en oorbeskerming is 'n moet.

U kan ook warm kolle in sommige winkels kry. Probeer om 'n paar hiervan te kry as u meer as 'n paar uur buite gaan spandeer. Die meeste kolle sal tussen 4 en 6 uur duur. Dra dit onder die klere, maar nie in direkte kontak met die vel nie.

As u vir langtermyn in Harbin is, probeer om gedurende die wintervakansie weg te kom na iewers warm soos Hainan of Thailand. Ook 'n uitstappie na Beijing is 'n moet vir almal wat vir 'n geruime tyd in Harbin vertoef.
