Tips:
1. When you order dishes, it should be remembered that even numbers are preferred by locals.
2. Usually, fish and chicken take precedence. The cold dishes and salt dishes are eaten first, soup is the last dish.
3. It is no surprise to see the locals drinking beer as much as any German or Russian, as this is a way for locals to express their heroism and enthusiasm. The brands of Harbin Beer and New Three Star Beer are two popular local products.
