Southern little potatoes, here comes the Harbin one-day walking tour guide!

Central Street + Saint Sophia Cathedral really look great no matter how you shoot them. We've already scouted the best spots for photos and food for you ⛄ Head straight to Central Street in the morning 🍦 Look for the green stall and buy the original flavor of Madieer popsicle (5 yuan, with a rich milky taste). Eating it while walking gives you that authentic Northeast vibe~ For lunch, highly recommend Songpu 1918 Western Restaurant opposite Madieer (No. 120 Central Street). The Russian stewed beef with bread is amazing, and you can eat your fill for just over 80 yuan per person! In the afternoon, rush to Saint Sophia Cathedral for amazing photos 📸 Tested these three perfect photo spots: 1⃣️ The passage inside the iron tower for a sense of depth 2⃣️ The railing at the third arch of the red brick wall, framing the cathedral roof (best light at 3 PM) 3⃣️ Close-up shots from the front square, with beautiful light and shadow on sunny days 💒 💡 Tips: - The cathedral is open from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Remember to wear gloves when taking photos in winter. - Central Street feels even better after the lights come on at night, but the popsicle shops close early. - Wearing light-colored clothes matches the cathedral better, and a fluffy hat adds extra points.
