Over 100 years ago, Harbin was a super city in the Far East. Harbin suddenly gained global attention again this year. Harbin was once a famous industrial city and cultural and artistic center. It is awarded by the United Nations as one of the "Six Music Capitals of the World" and the only "Music Capital" in Asia, on par with Vienna. For over 100 years, Harbin has been known as "Paris of the East" and "Moscow of the East". It once gathered nobles from 28 European countries and had consulates from 23 other countries. In the early 20th century, Harbin's economy, culture, industry, commerce and other fields were very developed. In the early 20th century, Harbin's advanced level far surpassed that of Shanghai. Since the beginning of this year, Harbin has once again attracted global attention and may rise again in the future! Realize great rejuvenation!

Hey, thanks for watching the video. Harbin is a music capital? Not quite aware of it. But it is definitely thriving as a tourist destination.

Planning to visit in January. Is it easy to get suitable warm clothing in Harbin?

[@gibbontravelogue]

I would suggest getting the warming clothing before you arrive in Harbin. Where would you be coming from? If you are coming from Beijing or other major cities, you can get them from there.

[@christinechris1402]

hi.. do you go alone or with tour ? can i go to china snow town or volga manor with public transport ? thanks

[@gibbontravelogue]

For us, it was a mixed. For the city, we did our own, and took a guided tour for the attractions outside Harbin.

[@jannietan57]

Did you join a local tour directly with the local travel agent? If its good can share contact?

[@gibbontravelogue]

@@jannietan57 Yes, it is a local tour, with a local guide. I don’t think I have the contacts anymore. But there are a lot of agencies to choose from.

[@michaelgan9190]

hi you join a tour package from Singapore or travel free and easy?

[@gibbontravelogue]

Hey thanks for watching. We travelled on our own there but took a local tour that fetched us from Club Med Yabuli.

Hii i’m planning to visit harbin specially for its snow town but i have questions regarding how to hire transportation to take me to snowtown and get me back from snowtown to harbin for someone like me who is going alone without a tour

[@gibbontravelogue]

Hi, it’s around 300km from Harbin to Snow Town. You can take a train, bus or taxi there. My preferred way is to take a tour from Harbin, which is more convenient.

The coldest city in China is GenHe. Lower than -40C.

You are right, Genhe in Inner Mongolia is the coldest. Harbin is one of the coldest cities and the coldest major city (tier 1 and 2) in China. Thanks for pointing out. Hope you enjoyed the video!

how to go to china snow town?

[@gibbontravelogue]

Hey, The Snow Town is 311km south-east of Harbin City, around 5.5 hours drive away. There is no public transport, so you will need to hire a car or follow a tour bus

@@gibbontravelogue do you know what time for the bus start

U can go to Harbin City and enquire either at the hotel or at a tour agency.
