Harbin - Sun Island Park

Sun Island Park is across the road from Stalin Park. It is a 3800 hectare recreational park offering gardens, forested areas and a water world.

To get to the park you can either take a boat or the cable car. We took the cable car at a cost of Y100 return because we thought that we could see more from above.

We paid to go into what we thought was a German housing estate. However what we paid for was a German Show. It cost Y40 and perhaps a complete waste of money. There were German Dancers, a crocodile show and mud wrestling.

The German Dancing was lovely and traditional German Dancing with Germans.

Their interpretation of "Crickey" was all wrong and perhaps quite cruel. A Chinese man goes into the enclosure torments the crocodiles swings one around and throws it back into the water, gets another one out of the water and prays to it. Steve Irwin would be turning in his grave.

The mud wrestling I tried to convince Barbara that she should enter, after all it would good for her skin, however the tiny bikini may have put her off! We didn't stick around to watch.
