Harbin is the capital (首都) city of Heilongjiang. Many people like Harbin because of its winter tourism (旅游). Last winter, people talked a lot about Harbin on the Internet.
To make visitors feel welcome, Harbin did a lot of things. At the airport (机场), there were shows to watch. And visitors could get warm clothes to wear in dressing rooms. Local (当地的) people also helped a lot. When they were not busy, they went out to give free rides to visitors. When some tourists couldn't find hotels, the local government (政府) let visitors stay in their service center at a low price.
Many of the tourists were from southern China. It doesn't snow very often there. They dressed themselves like potatoes and many of them are shorter than the people in Heilongjiang. So the local people called them "southern little potatoes". The nickname (绰号) quickly became popular on the Internet. The tourists liked the nickname and shared their warm experiences of Harbin. A girl left a note at the hotel, saying, "This southern little potato is leaving. Harbin is so beautiful. The people are so friendly. I can't wait to come back again. Yours, southern little potato." After people saw this note online, "the southern little potato is leaving" became a hot topic, and more and more people shared their trips.
Come to Harbin and experience the wonder of ice and snow this winter!
