Harbin morning market SHOCKED us!!!! Never seen a market like it....

[@hisousihou]

Who would have thought it, but most people grow up with the image of red, green and floral clothing from the Northeast as old-fashioned and ugly. But now instead, they are used as the local iconic pattern, along with a variety of creative works and clothing. This pattern is really ushering in a total victory after many years. The two girls are really quite cute in their red and green floral hats

[@hanblum]

That's wild! It's such a bright and cheerful pattern -- it makes me happy just looking at it!

[@wayneq6237]

it's just like when you have just come to Australia for the first time, and you buy a t-shirt with the huge word "Australia" printed in front of it and put it on, then you will get comments like "this is really lame..." from your friends...

[@davidchan3238]

只是帽子还是挺好看的，但整套棉衣还是有点捞了

[@shenyydjmfuu6354]

That pattern was for bed sheets or covers. No one wear that in northeast of China before.

[@yli5531]

Fashion is well known to have cycles.

I was born and raised in Hong Kong. As a southerner, I really don’t know what it’s like to live in an environment of -22°C 🥶🤧. After watching your video, I decided to travel to Northeast China this winter!

[@BenjiSun]

hey fellow Konger. as a former Canadian who has lived in Dalian and visits Siberia in winter for fun, i recommend wear a surgical mask behind a good thick scarf. it'll help with breathing, both for temperature and moisture retention. also get used to using moisturizing facial masks when you're back in the hotel at night. vaseline on the hands. if it gets below -20, exposed skin can easily start cracking. knuckles can begin to bleed just from opening and closing your hands. eyelashes can break off between the moisture of your breathe and the freezing cold air. just some friendly advice. enjoy Dongbei.

[@hc1897]

@@BenjiSunSounds serious 😅 (from another HKer who hasn’t experienced anything lower than minus 10). Guess I’ll stay put in the balmy south.

明年再去吧，冰雪世界关闭了。

[@lauragrt]

Let me tell you this, when I walked there at -25° in the evening for 5 min, my face was freezing, and in another 5 min, my face was so hurt like someone cutting it, and then, I couldn’t feel my face anymore 😂

[@leejack9913]

welcome to northeast China ❤

[@HH-kg4fq]

I knew a blonde/blue eyed Russian woman born in Harbin in the 1930s. She said a lot of Russians used to live there. She was in her 80's when I met her in the US. She immigrated to the US when she was 30 yrs old.

[@ElvenDeputyGeneral]

“Lao mao zi” is how the early settlers in Dongbei called the Russian people who came across the border to settle or trade, can be loosely translated into “the hairy dudes/people”😂, might sound not as PC in this day and age but the Chinese people use it in a non-derogatory and lighthearted way today.

[@mchparity]

I mean, HKers still use the G word. Dongbei, esp Heilongjiang, still uses 'er mao zi' too in day to day convo. I'd say it's still very much derogative. But it's a fact of life in such homogenous societies.

[@王国胜-o6m]

I understand that you are in China for quite sometime already but surprises just keep coming, amazing !

[@scotttan6377]

Amy always brings excitement to her episodes . In her opening scene , if Amy didn't mentioned it was a morning market , I would have thought it was a night market . Kerry looked like she was ready for a venti latte warming up in a Starbucks ( lol ) . She's definitely a trooper . @13:33 Too bad Derk wasn't able to join Amy . Would've loved to hear his opinion on the sausage.

[@RespectOthers1]

The ice cream doesn’t need a freezer…just like those creamy strawberries, another food that cuts out the middleman! :D

[@co-nq7vi]

your videos always make me feel better. i love your energy 😭

[@Linkuji-Ouji]

It’s like super refreshing to eat ice cream when it’s cold! And it never melts so your not speed eating it before it melts.

[@jennyohara4011]

Another great Video from my favorite Aussie in China..😀

[@smallworldBigwalk]

I am a big fan of you. I like all the adventures you have had. Thank you for sharing and look forward to seeing more of your great videos.

[@freycomm35]

The sausages in Harbin is actually Ukrainian. In the 19th century, imperial Russia moved a large population of Ukrainians and others from eastern Europe to east Asia, in order to consolidate control over the area. Ukrainian migrants brought their cuisines with them, and thus, the sausages.

[@wskeat1]

Both of you look so cute with that Dongbei hats. I would love to see Amy wear the entire Dongbei outfit...she would definitely looks cute in it!

[@oo8962]

This video is so fun to watch. It really feels like you two are my friends and we're walking through the market together even though I'm just watching.

Harbin is a bucket list event.

[@lizgong-ly3vl]

welcome to my hometown

[@lindyralph8792]

I love that fabric too. I bought about nine metres of it in Vietnam in 2009. I thought I'd make a bedspread out of it but now I use it for wrapping gifts or putting over the lids of jam jars.

[@jogana6909]

Harbin is a very beautiful city

[@aliowl]

To answer your question, when you eat cold things in summer your body wants to warm you up. Therefore hot drinks etc cool you down. This is possibly why Chinese eat cold in winter to warm up.

[@songethan1202]

Even for like 30-40 years ago most family don't have their own refrigerator so the best time for them to enjoy ice cream is winter time, like Amy said in the video" no need for a freezer". That is the main reason.

[@charleneji6759]

Incredible. minus 22 degrees!

[@jasonwang482]

Harbin is really famous for its red sausage. There are various harbin sausage and one of the best is feng gan chang(wind dried sausage). It looks like tasty stick sausage in Australia but taste quite different.😄

[@fireblademan494]

Yes Harbin sausage is the best. We would have it for breakfast.

[@tory_y]

Starting to get more into Chinese cuisine, and I just found your channel.. and I’m loving your videos !!

[@haggaisimon7748]

10:48 youre both so cute! Love it, happy Valentine!

[@fireblademan494]

Great to see you girls having fun. We enjoyed Harbin. It doesn't take long to get there from Changchun by fast train. Yes it was chilly minus 25 when we visited the Ice sculptures. There are so many different dishes and types of food from different parts of China. With it being so cold all the food for Spring Festival can be stored in the back porch. Today here in Queensland we had Doujiang. A soy bean porridge. We are looking forward to returning to Changchun next year. Huitou jian

Just went to the Snow and Ice festival! It really is the coolest thing I've ever seen (no pun intended). The morning market is really nice too. Yes, the festival was busy, but not that bad. It's just so big.

[@landdevil]

I love eating ice cream outside when its below freezing. You don't have to worry about it melting. You don't have to rush to eat it.

[@JamesChenisKing]

My family used to own a seafood restaurant on MaJia street. I think it was called JaHe. It’s in our old apartment building that we used to live in so it’s like 5 stories tall. I think it’s still there. You should check it out. Best live seafood in Harbin.

[@Brick-Life]

Lots of cool foods in the freezing cold!

[@虚晃一招跳出圈外]

Since the introduction of the Wildlife Protection Law in China, Northeast Chinese cuisine has been in name only because most of its main ingredients are wild animals, such as bear's paw and hazel chicken, which are protected animals and cannot be eaten now. Half of the recipes in Northeast Chinese cuisine are protected wild animals, so there are not many famous dishes in Northeast China nowadays

[@xiaochenwu9980]

When it comes to sausages, as a local, I have been raised to eat quilin lidaosi sausage, which is the most prestigious brand of hongchang. They also have other kinds of sausages that I really like to buy. Hope you could try more food in Harbin.

[@goliaboi]

[@Darkwindturbulence]

As someone who lives in new england, drinking ice coffee throughout the winter is extremely common. I think it’s cause the drink often is still warmer than it is outside.

[@taotao98103]

Interesting fact. I see that Harbin is so cold and at -22 C. Harbin's Latitude is around 45 N. My area in the Northwest of the US is around 47 N. I'm already as north as Russia, but my temperature is around 7 C. I only need to put on one jacket.

[@aungaisum8654]

China winter is incredible cold because of Siberia cold wind. They are much colder than Hokkaido Japan, Europe and America. The coldest place in China is Mohe. At sea level it can reach as low as -60C not to mention mountain areas even colder.

[@icyamethyst1]

It is because you live in west side with Pacific ocean and Rocky mountains to adjust the temperature. I lived in East side of Canada, it is much colder

[@正咖]

Harbin is at 45 degrees north, and Paris is at 48 degrees north, but Harbin is much colder than Paris.

I was just in China visiting families. And the thing I miss the most is strawberries. The strawberries in Canada are just awful including some pretty expensive ones I tried.

[@khkhkh2510]

As soon as I saw that sausage at the end I thought: looks like polosh Kiełbasa! Honestly it might have some maybe russian heritage, since it's also partly a slavic country and you mentioned Harbin's history with Russia. In Poland sausages (called Kiełbasa) look like this after being cooked on a grill

[@season786]

omg the Harbin sausage, one of the classic, I wish I could still get my hands on one of those in Melbourne
