Besides Qingdao Beer, Harbin Beer is another old bear brand of China which was build up in 1900. It's one of the name cards of Harbin as well as the Ice Lantern Art Fair. So when you get there it would be a nice try. (For me, I don't drink much and I can't tell the differences between them, but maybe you can: ) It's so well-known that you can find it everywhere in Harbin.

Having been a reputable restaurant since a hundred years ago. You could go there and try on the dumplings, although the enviroment is soso, their dumplings are so delicious!

Earthen pot is something familiar to the hot pot, we drop the food (different kinds) into water or a certain type of soup, boil it and then begin to eat and drink.
