In April, the weather gets warmer and it's often sunny. It's a great time to visit Volga Manor. The grass in Volga Manor is green and nice. Volga Manor is near the Ashi River. The river has a natural wetland. In the manor, there are big gardens and wetlands. The wetland views are really beautiful. The Polar Park in Harbin has a Polar Aquarium. It's a good place to visit. There are shows of beluga whales and dolphins in the pavilion. And there is the world's first cloned Arctic wolf. You can watch the great shows here. And you can also learn a lot about science. It's very educational.
