The video begins with her anticipation and slight apprehension about the extreme cold (-10°C to -25°C), a stark contrast to her usual Shanghai climate.

Next, she visits the Yasili Orphanage Former Site (亚斯利孤儿院旧址), highlighting the beautiful architecture influenced by Russia's proximity to Harbin. The golden hour provides perfect lighting for photos, but the extreme cold forces FunFancie to take frequent warm breaks. A nearby noodle shop offers a welcome respite, where she savors spicy beef noodles.

FunFancie marvels at the frozen river and the stunning sunset, capturing the unique beauty of the winter landscape. She observes extreme ice activities on the Songhua River, comparing them to similar activities in Thailand.
The vlog includes a visit to a Chinese barbecue restaurant near her hotel, where she tries local delicacies, including a mysterious pink fruit (possibly a fermented pear).
