I finally got on a ferry and visited Sun Island! But I accidentally got on a ferry doing a tour of the wetlands near Sun Island, so I saw a lot of this for an hour before getting to the island itself...
Part of the sculpture park in the Sun Island Scenic Area featuring sculptures by Chinese sculptor Yu Qingcheng. The Scenic Area is a separate park on Sun Island and cost ¥30 or ¥35 to enter. (Not sure of the price 'cause a friend bought the tickets. Sorry!)
The neat dragon centerpiece of a square in the Sun Island Scenic Area.
A mini mountain beautifully set next to a pond in the Scenic Area.
This corner of the Island was particularly beautiful...and utterly spoiled by the Chinese music blaring from loudspeakers strategically scattered along all of the walkways.
The lovely stone path up the little mountain.
The pavilion at the top of the 'mountain.'
The esplanade along the ponds.
More of the ponds.
I took the lift over the Songhua back to downtown Harbin instead of doing the ferry again. For some reason the lift leaves and arrives at very Disneyesque castles...
Looking north up the Songhua at Sun Island, with Songbei (newer, left-bank Harbin) and a couple of the bridges connecting the two sides of the city in the background.
