Foreigner notes
Search 哈尔滨松花江冰雪嘉年华(暂停营业) with its address rather than relying on a city-level result; the entrance is the useful destination.

Use the recorded crowd pattern to choose a start time, then adjust at Songhua River Central Winter Recreation Zone if the on-site flow differs.
No fixed gate hours are recorded. The riverside public area has no unified gate; the annual ice festival is seasonal and its individual products have separate tickets.
Save 哈尔滨松花江冰雪嘉年华(暂停营业) and 哈尔滨市道里区中央大街259-7号 before leaving; the last walk is easier when the gate is already marked.
