Harbin Airport, Heilongjiang Province

Arrival at Harbin Airport

My flight arrived at 12:40pm at the Harbin Airport. The local temperature was minus 8 degrees, and I could feel the chill immediately after exiting the plane. I’ve lived in Saskatechewan (Mid Canada) for several years in the late 80’s and early 90’s, where it often gets to 40 below with wind chill, so I’m not new to the bone chilling cold.

Arrived at Harbin airport and just got off the plane.

Exiting through the Harbin airport, it didn’t seem crowded at all. Outside the airport, I took a taxi to ZhongYangDaJie (ZhongYang street), one of the very popular shopping districts of Harbin. The driver wanted $100 yuan flat rate, but I bargained it to $100 yuan to include the $20yuan highway toll fee.
