We went looking for the pool cut into the ice in the Songhua River to take some photos and ended up chatting to 3 local gentlemen who were there just to swim. (not for the ticketed performance scheduled for later that day) They happily showed us around the facility and even obliged us by going for a swim. Testimony to it being good for your health - the 75 year old looked about 55! If heading to Stalin Park by taxi tell the driver 'yong' (swimming) and he will drop you at the spot. Or ask locals - it is in the section of river between the flood monument and the cable car. *** NOTE that the picture for this activity does not match the address. Ice swimming is done in the Songhua River not the sports centre as listed.

Location: Songhua RiverHow to Get There: Tourists can take No. 101, 103 and 64 buses from the train station to Songhuajiang.Ticket Price: 30 yuan per personOpenning Time: 10:00 and 14:00More Tips: The best time to visit there is from December to the next January.We almost wasted our entire day since we first followed the directions from Tripadvisor's mobile app which led us to a sports center with a indoor swimming pool where preparations were on for a championship. Then we followed directions to the address mentioned for this attraction and reached another sports center in Daowai center which was also not the correct location. We were really keen to see this but unfortunately couldn't as we didn't had much time left. Have mentioned location information on top which I could gather from internet.

Watching these good natured, iron willed swimmers dive into the icy waters of the Songhua river and emerge not in cardiac arrest is definitely something you need to do when you visit Harbin. Try to ignore the touts nearby, who offer to let you hold an "arctic fox" (which clearly isn't an arctic fox) for 50RMB and concentrate on the smiling folk in speedos who dive and swim the length of the pool. There are a few other activities for kids and adults alike to enjoy - for a further 20RMB you can slide down the hill with an inner tube about 20 times. There is also an ice slide which is 5RMB per slide. You can also do dog sledding, skidooing and a few other activities. The performance was 2pm and lasted about half an hour.

入館料は19元で安いですが、土曜日に行ったら人の多さにビックリしました。設備についてはちゃんと整備されていて、競技用のジャンプ台から幼児プールまであります。休日に人が多いので避けるべしです。
