Freezing & Chaotic Arrival In Harbin, China 🇨🇳
Freezing & Chaotic Arrival In Harbin, China. I am here for the Harbin Ice Festival.
My main channel ➡️ @KenAbroad
Harbin in northeast China is actually one of the most popular places to visit in China during winter. The main reason for that is the Harbin Ice Festival that takes places every year here in Harbin. I will show you the Harbin Ice Festival (it's basically a huge city made out of ice) on my main channel in a full video.

If you're in Harbin, don't miss the opportunity to explore the hauntingly fascinating Ruins of the Japanese Army Unit 731 Headquarters and delve into the gripping stories at the Unit 731 Museum. These remarkable sites, nestled on Xingjian Street in Pingfang District of Harbin, promise to leave an indelible mark on your soul. Let's share the rich tapestry of history with the world, learning from past and paving the way for a harmonious and peaceful future. The best part is that admission to the museum is free, and you can also rent a translator device at no cost. This ensures that language barriers won't hinder your exploration and understanding of the exhibits.

I think about it as well, but maybe not, I don’t know, it’s too heavy, just think about how they know 70% of body is water, and that’s the one of many, people were just white mouses. However, I do hope he can go visit it

It would be great if Harbin can make more people know what crimes Japaness armies did during WW2, especially becuase Japanses govt still denies this part of history and refuses to apologize today. Their crimes are like invisible for the people from other contries because of the anti-China propaganda. I watched a film about the history of 731 but failed to finish it. it's too cruel....

Fans coming from Bilibili! Most Chinese people cannot access KZread on the mainland through the Internet, so Bilibili might be one of the largest communities where we can watch popular KZread videos uploaded and translated by "uploaders". Your videos are really well-loved on Bilibili, and the uploader has included the KZread link, encouraging us to go to your KZread channel.
Yeah your arrival was super stressfull!! But Harbin looks beautiful!

Nice to see you visiting Harbin. Harbin is an aging industrialized city located in Northeast China, so it is not a typical tourist city. Due to the cold climate and the continuous rise of China's coastal cities, the city and the entire Northeast China region have fallen into decline over the past few decades and suffered a serious population outflow. With the coming of winter, this ice city has once again become popular on China’s Douyin, attracting widespread attention from the Chinese people. The government obviously wants to seize the opportunity to drive urban economic growth through ice and snow tourism. Maybe this city will not It is as convenient for international tourists as Shanghai and Beijing, but you still overcome the obstacles and come here. I hope you can experience a different city, enthusiastic people and local culture. bless you

Not really, it IS a tourist destination, and not low on the list. The city was once just a small settlement, then came the October Revolution of Russia. Lots of Russian/Belarussian rich/aristocrats fleed Russia and went to Harbin, and that's why there are lots of Orthodox churchs there, along with other Western architectures. These alone have already made Harbin a tourist destination domestically for decades, let alone the ice festival which has been a thing also for decades.
it's so interesting to watch Ken surrounding by Harbin locals who wanted to talk but couldn't. All of you guys are very kind people.

Welcome to Harbin. It's cold in Harbin. Please keep warm. Eating habits in northeast China are similar to those in Germany. You can also travel to Shenyang. At the end of the tour, you can visit the 731 Crime Evidence Museum in Harbin. It's free. It contains evidence of the Japanese invasion of China. The Japanese are using the Chinese as laboratory animals. Thank you for coming to Harbin. I hope you have a good time.
Awesome video, Ken. The airport, bus station n train station r huge. The interior of the airport is so beautiful. It really amazed me how the people of Harbin can endure the cold. Take care, Ken n happy exploring. 👍🙏
Love your vlogs will be visiting Shanghai this April and your vlogs are really helpful.
Wonderful trip 🎉. Can't wait to watch the next video.
Enjoy your travels! The locals seem friendly there
Another lovely video in China. Perhaps Harbin is beautifl in winter. Looking forward to seeing you in next videos.
Thank you for sharing Ken. Love this beautiful, awesome infrastructure. Have a great time in China 👍
Wow! Ken, you are so cool! You have followed up the currently most trendy topic in Chinese social media - Harbin winter travel! 🤩😉😃👍👍👍
The part where you were discussing the pork with the waiter was so funny!
Interesting journey
Pls enjoy your time over there,specially the food. Wonderful place to visit.
Finally found your second channel, I am very happy that you like my hometown Shanghai. Continue to enjoy your trip to Xinjiang!
Spent Christmas in harbin, loved it so much!!!
We did same mistake from railway station to that area. There is narrow path under bridge for short cut. Expecting next episode. Good job!Hopefully you have a good time in Harbin. 🎉
Wow,ganda ng Harbin city,with beautiful ice sculfture.❤❤❤Thanks for shar I ng us your adventure in China.❤❤❤H.k
Harbin is a unique city with a lot to offer. I am glad you ventured out there
In 2007, I traveled to Harbin. Although the ice and snow sculptures at that time were not that big, to me, they were amazing! My friends and I also did some stupid things. We had an ice cream eating competition outdoors at -21 degrees, wearing only short-sleeved clothes, to see who could last the longest. I won the game. I stood for 1 minute and 33 seconds.😂
Good job,wellcome my friend, you are very frendly...😊
Here from Bilibili!nc travel videos 🥰 welcome to China❤
I have also been to Harbin, and it left a very good impression on me. You should try the local famous barbecue, preferably at a crowded place. Be sure to visit the Central Street; it has a unique charm, and nearby, there's the Songhua River.
Love visit China soon, seems very interesting
People from North East China are much more outgoing than people in other provinces, each time when I watch the videos about Harbin, the locals make me laugh 😂so friendly and welcoming

Good choice of place to go. Harbin is the most popular city in China now. I was there a month ago. Definitely a special place.
Love your video💙💜and yeah looks like someone took your videos and uploaded without asking you😬
Most people in China do not have the habit of using VPNs. Some people share videos of foreigners traveling or doing other things by adding subtitles and clips.
Born and grew up there in harbin, great city to visit for fun in winter, you will enjoy the beer culture there.
Oh wow, this's the longest clip on your 2nd channel. Love watching it as always. Thanks for sharing your journey from Beijing to Harbin. Yeah, that new Beijing airport is super beautiful. You're right, Ken. Those are porcelain vases and can fetch a very high price. As always, you are very calm to find your route/way to your destination/hotel.... advantage of being an experienced traveller. Oh gosh, the lowest temperature that l have had experienced before was 8°C, in Beijing. I was shivering even though l had a few layers of clothing 😄😃 A nice hotel room and that meal of pork looks super yummy. Looking forward to your next video on The Snow and Ice festival in Harbin tomorrow. Thanks again for this interesting vlog with good content. Stay safe and take care, Ken.
Amazing
Very nice video! Thank you for showing what China is truly like.

You're naturally funny & nicest westerner tourist. LOVE yr videos❤

Great video 👍👍👍
I went to Harbin to see the ice city. Yep, coldest place I've been so far. Must add, beautiful place to visit.
Seeing the clothes you're wearing in Harbin, I know you'll be very cold! Hahaha!
We had around -40c a few weeks ago where I live in Kiruna, Sweden. This morning we only had around -25c.
Like your china travel vlog
A really fun video to watch. Specially with these curious workers. haha! They finally got someone in college I think who could understand some English....😀
I would love to visit Harbin. Here it's currently -20°C coldest about -50°C. I live in Alaska. Enjoy your trip.
Thank you 😊😊😊😊
Welcome to Harbin, my hometown. Enjoy your trip!
Wow , your travel speed is so fast. I just saw you in Guangzhou, now you are in Beijing airport, and going to Haerbin.
Not sure if you're still in Harbin, but you should try their sauerkraut braised pork belly! It's called 酸菜炖白肉. Even though the pickle is a Harbin local food, it taste surprisingly similar to the German sauerkraut!

The workers at the restaurant are so nice and cute trying to explain him the name of the dish and explaining what part of the pig it is.
20 minutes and you feel the pain from the cold. Exactly the experience for me in the Ice City, so be prepared tomorrow :)
Nice trip
👍good
Thanks for sharing this awesome experience in Harbin, I like it very much. You have openly explained all the troubles on arrival, which were all good to know as well (especially for me). I've the impression that maybe the first three taxi drivers that cancelled your request, were afraid of language barrier that might happened. As they know you are foreigner. That's was my positive thought. Stay healthy and safe in Harbin. Looking forawrd your next vlog(s) from Harbin in you main channel.

You got the right dish - GuoBaoRou. I am mouth watering now just by washing it. If the chef can make very good GuoBaoRou, you are in the right restaurant.
Trace from bilibili to here. I am happy that you hold such a optimistic emotion after experiencing such an unpleasant accident. Wish you have a wonderful journey in Harbin BTW, eating Guobaorou(锅包肉)with rice is better.
Dish is called guo bao rou. Tried it when I went over this year, really nice. There was a morning street food market that was awesome as well. We had to put beer outside to get cold when we there. Loved the trip.
I saw you video on bilibili,so I come here
If you don’t order rice, they will not serve you rice. You got what you ordered. In most Chinese restaurants, you need to tell the waiter that you need rice so that they will serve you rice.
keep it up bro
Stayed in Harbin in the summer - 30c but not humid - very nice city with plenty of parks and waterways - They are completing Line 3 Metro into an inner city circle while i was there . WIll return for the Ice festival one year.
So funny that you said fancy some Chicken after buying some Gucci bags😂 German style humor😂😂😂😂

I have watched several videos of KZreadrs traveling around the world and no other city in any other country surpasses this city in comparison to the following cities in China. These cities are Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Nanjing, Wuhan, Chengdu, and Tianjin. These cities are characterized by their wealthy people, sophisticated cityscapes and futuristic architecture, and societies that have embraced the latest technologies. These cities are some of the most attractive cities in this world today.
people are so friendly there. the whole cooking team came to tell you the name of the dish.
I’m not working on this until service and Friday will have been 🥰
Finally you upload new video .. I waiting u video all the time 👍
20:42 hahahahahahahha omfg I can’t help laughing here hahahaha so the thing is, this dish is called “锅包肉” GuoBaoRou, yet in northeastern accent Rou is pronounced You(sounds like YO in “Yo what’s up man”) 😂😂😂 holy sh*t this is so classic lmao

you can buy something to protection against cold in Harbin,all the things there are inexpensive with good quality. enjoying your trip there,and keeping warm.😂
The 5:04 thing is chinese pickle. very delicious when eating with rice or congee
People here love to eat sauerkraut and blood sausage as much as in Germany. Very similar yet different. You should wear thicker clothes as you will experience long queues in popular tourist cities.
minus 26c at Daqing North of Harbin. To cold to breath without a mask when I was there.
