Songhua River, also Sungari River in English originated from the Manchu language meaning White River), is more than the largest tributary of the Heilong River (Amur River); It colorizes Harbin with a lively beauty.
It has its highest flows when the mountain snow melts during the spring thaw. During the summer, the sandy banks of the river become busy beaches with swimming, boating, fishing, ice-cream stands and photo booths. Swaying weeping willows and clusters of flowers on the riverbanks add more enchanting beauty.
When winter comes, it freezes from late November until March and turns to be a sparkling frozen thoroughfare and the surroundings become a wonderland of ice and snow for winter ice sports, such as dog sledging, skating, spinning tops on ice.
