Annaman Hotel stands at No. 395 Youyi Road, Daoli District, Harbin — the riverside quarter where the Songhua meets the old town, fifty metres from the water and a riverside stroll from Central Street. Getting here is the easy part; the hard part is choosing between the river and the ice first.
By metro: two lines around the corner
Shanghai Street station (上海街) is about 370 metres from the door, People’s Square (人民广场) about 650 m — the Lines 2 & 3 interchange sits right in the neighbourhood. Line 2 runs the cross-river spine toward Sun Island; Line 3 loops the central districts. Reviewers time the metro walk at five minutes and use it all week: Sun Island one seat, the railway corridor one transfer, the Ice and Snow World a short ride plus shuttle.
By rail: the 4.7 km arrival
Harbin Railway Station is 4.7 km away — about fourteen minutes by car. The high-speed hub, Harbin West (9 km), serves the Beijing–Dalian corridor; the fastest trains put Beijing under five hours away. A paid station transfer (about ¥180) goes through the desk, or the metro finishes the trip for the price of a coffee.
By air: the long-distance arrival
Harbin Taiping International Airport sits roughly 36.9 km from the hotel — about 36 minutes by car in normal traffic, longer on ice. Taxis and ride-hailing are straightforward; the hotel’s paid pick-up (about ¥300) covers door-to-door comfort for families with luggage mountains and deep-winter arrivals.
