What to eat when traveling in Harbin

Harbin Red Sausage

The sausages with fat cubes are eaten directly without steaming, and have a little garlic flavor. There are also dry sausages for children (without fat cubes) and small tripes. Qiulin Lidaosi Yuchang First-hand Store is opposite Qingyueliang Bazhen. There are chain stores throughout the city that can make specialties and seal them for you to take home.

Iron pot stew

The stewed chicken, ribs and goose in the iron pot are delicious with a big pancake dipped in the sauce. The glutinous potatoes melt in a bite and are full of fireworks. I recommend the Shanhetun iron pot stew.

Xijiade Dumplings

The best dumpling chain in Harbin. Not many fillings to choose from but every flavor is delicious. My favorites are pure shrimp and three fresh vegetarian.

Candied Haws

You can find it everywhere on the roadside. It will turn into slush in cold weather. It is recommended to eat it at room temperature. Classic hawthorn, with sweet and crispy sugar coating. It is sour, sweet and icy.

Pot-fried pork

I recommend Laochujia, which is very famous. The sweetness and sourness are just right, and it is very crispy. The sweet and sour pot-wrapped pork is crispy on the outside, and the tenderloin is not hard or dry. There are also Northeast large rice noodles and fried popsicles.

Which station does the Harbin tourist train stop at?

It is recommended to buy a train from Harbin Station when traveling to Harbin, as it is close to some major attractions. From the north exit of Harbin Station to Central Street, Sophia Cathedral and other major attractions, it is only more than 1 kilometer away.

The high-speed rail usually goes to Harbin West Station, which is quite far away. There is also South Station, which is also quite far away. It is recommended to stay near Central Street for the most convenience.
