The short answer
Hongqi Street / This Is Hill (红旗街 / 这有山 / 万达) is the default first-timer base. Film-studio city of the northeast: the Puppet Palace's uneasy history, Jingyuetan's billion-tree forest ski runs - and the world's coldest, cheeriest winter streets between Harbin hops.

Who should not stay where
- Hongqi Street for the eating-and-walking core; Guilin Road for foodies; the station quarter for transit.
- Winter (Dec-Feb) ice-and-snow season lifts the best-located rooms first.
