Q: Which place is better Harbin or Shanghai?
Which one is best for winter vacation.
11 years 20 weeks ago in Transport & Travel - China
If you like - 30 C. weather, then Harbin is perfect for you. Personally, I would give Harbin a very, very large pass in the winter. Shanghai has got everything going for it -- it's a world-class city, there are thousands of great restaurants, it's so cosmoplitan and there is commedia dell'arte on almost every street corner.
I echo the comment on Harbin in the winter: the cold weather up here SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! I live about 2 1/2 hrs. from Harbin. Take it south!
philbravery:
No wonder you were asking about Shanghai
what town are you in ?
We go to Mudanjaing once a year to visit the relatives usually in May when it is warmer
LAR:
Phil, the weather is just one reason why I previously asked about Shanghai. Sure, Shanghai gets cold..in the WINTER TIME..not freezing like it is now way up north still in Fall season! The city that I'm in? Daqing. Hey, I'll take the hotter weather myself..but yeah gotta have that A/C.
I say Harbin.....Shanghai is one of those unique cities......depends on what you like. If it's snowing either place could be good, but if you want to have some fun seeing cool stuff in the snow go to Harbin.
How fond are you of freezing your tits off?
philbravery:
Ah the good old Australian vocabulary
didn't you miss it when you were away?
welcome home where you can now sweat like a (censored)
leaving Brisbane today at 30deg and going bush for a few days 46deg
Hope the A/C works
MissA:
It's a bit warm today, granted.... if I ever feel the urge to whinge about the weather I remind myself that this time a year ago the ambient temperature where I was living was -20 degrees.
That makes a warm-ish Sydney summer day a much easier thing to deal with!
MissA:
Also: Phil, isn't your Mrs a northern Chinese girl? How does she cope with the intense dry heat?
TedDBayer:
hmmm, I wonder if its the cold that makes the padded bra so popular in China?
philbravery:
Summer up there is like western Qld Dry heat is easier as you just stay in the shade and cool off
as for Cold
I have favorite ways to keep warm
today my 19yrs old son is going to Harbin from here
39c Brisbane -25 Harbin lol
I am Canadian.... winter vacation to me says, go south!!! and Neither of these cities is SOUTH ...... I suggest you think about more options. Harbins ice festival thing would probably be a good winter vacation if you like COLD .. Shanghai, nothing good to say about it.
Sanya Hainan........forget about harbin and shanghai
Createach:
Well.The place is clean and the beach is good...Food is delicious and in my opinion Sanya is the best tourist spot in china.......Just be careul of the locals because they will really make a ball out of you when it comes to buying things cause they will overcharge you like hell........An advice is to take a local hainan person with you and everything will go smooth...Good Luck and Hit me if you got any questions
