最近我玩得很开心！我刚才从哈尔滨回来了。
哈尔滨是一座在中国的东北方特别城市。天气非常非常冷，宽阔江面都完全冰冻了。在哈尔滨的时候平均气温零下20左右！如果脱下手套几分钟，手就会疼好了。近年来，哈尔滨爆红了，这东北城市因冰雪大世界名而闻名。
第一天，我们去了夜市，品尝各种各样的特色小吃，比如糖葫芦和暖红薯。虽然天气那么冷，但是摊主都很热情，和他们聊天得很开心。尽管穿着很多衣服，一个小时之内，我们还冻成狗了。幸运的是，在中国，即使哈尔滨，奶茶店也随处可见。为了避寒，我们跑进了温暖的奶茶店。一边喝奶茶一边取暖。
第二天，我们去了冰雪大世界。冰雪大世界超于现象，如童话般的世界，美丽和壮观完全超出了我的预期。从故宫冰雕到摩天大楼的冰雕，巨大的冰雕数不胜数。 也有精致小巧的冰雕作品。每一件都充满了创意与艺术价值冰雕栩栩如生。令人叹为观止。夜幕降临时，彩灯照亮冰雕。美丽得很。两个小时之后，我们都很开心，但也冻得瑟瑟发抖。赶紧回到酒店吃一大碗暖麻辣烫。
第三天，我们继续探索哈尔滨。我们逛了逛室内的市场。这个是一个联系中文的好机会，还尝试和老板讲价。很有意思的是，因为哈尔滨在中国的东北部，有很大俄罗斯的影响。我们参观了俄罗斯式的大教堂，也去俄罗斯大饭店。
这次旅行中，给我印象最深的是，我发现中国是一个很多样化的国家。乘坐火车短短几个小时，不同地区的风景、食物和文化就会截然不同。比如，北京没有哈尔滨那么冷，也没有哈尔滨那么浓厚的俄罗斯文化影响。我觉得，当我们谈论中国时，不能一概而论。要真正理解“什么是中国”，需要时刻提醒自己，这个词不仅代表一个国家，还包含了许多独具特色的社区与文化。
I have had so much fun recently. I have just gotten back from Harbin.
Harbin is a special city in the north-east of China. The weather is so so cold, wide rivers are completely frozen. In Harbin the average temperature was minus 20 degrees Celsius. If you took off your gloves for a few minutes they would really start to hurt. In recent years Harbin has blown up on the internet. This city is famous for its ice-festival.
On the first day, we went to a night market, we tried lots of local snacks such as Tanghulu (fruit on sticks and covered in sugar, like toffee apples) and sweet potatoes. Although the weather was so cold, the street vendors were all welcoming and warm-hearted and we had some good conversations. Even though we wore plenty of clothes, within an hour we were absolutely frozen. Luckily in China, even Harbin, milk tea shops are everywhere. In order to escape the cold, we ran inside a milk tea shop，sipping milk tea and warming up.
On the second day, we went to Harbin’s snow and ice festival. It was beyond my imagination, like a fairy-tale land. Its beauty and magnificence went beyond any expectation. From an ice sculpture of the Imperial Palace (found in Beijing) to ice skyscrapers, there many massive ice sculptures. And also smaller, more intricate sculptures. Each piece was full of creativeness and artistic value, coming alive. They were breathtaking. When it got dark the sculpture were lit up. They were so beautiful. Two hours later, we were all happy but at the same time shivering with cold. We hurried back to the hotel and ate a big warm bowl of spicy soup-noodles.
On the third day, we continued to explore Harbin. We walked around an indoor 
market, which was another good opportunity to practice Chinese and try haggling. Interestingly, because Harbin is in northeast China, it has a big Russian influence. We visited a Russian-style cathedral and went to a Russian restaurant.
From these travels, the thing that impacted me the most was seeing that China is such a diverse country. Taking the train only for a few hours, one can see that the scenery, food and culture is all so different. For example, Beijing is not as cold as Harbin, it also does not have as deep a Russian influence. I think, when talking about China, we should not generalize. To really understand ‘China’. We should remember that this word ‘China’ represents not only a country but also includes unique communities and cultures.
