1 . With its wonderful attractions, Harbin, the beautiful ice city of Heilongjiang Province in Northeast China, has become a social media sensation (轰动).
Among these beautiful sights is a group of 11 lovely children from Nanning, Guangxi in South China, who embarked on an educational trip to Harbin, immediately winning the hearts of online communities.
Dressed in bright orange outfits (服装), they are lovingly called “little tangerines”, with the oldest just six and a half years old and the youngest only three years and five months old.
The nickname symbolizes both their cute orange outfits and Guangxi’s well-known fruits — tangerines. Each day, their presence is appearing on various social media platforms.
Wherever they went, they are warmly received by the locals. In Harbin, they tasted the local food and watched a fireworks display.
The lead teacher of their tour confirmed their arrival in Mohe. Upon their arrival, a local travel agency warmly welcomed the tour group together with the city’s tourism bureau.
At the northernmost police outpost of China, they sang the national anthem (国歌) and saluted the border guards, marking an important part of their educational trip. Moreover, the police officers at the station prepared snow sculptures and snowmen for the “little tangerines”.
To express gratitude for the hospitality (好客) received in Heilongjiang, a free batch of tangerines from Guangxi was sent to the province.
Data show that Harbin welcomed more than 3 million visitors, bringing in 5.9 billion yuan during the three-day New Year holiday, which ended on January 1st.
