I would like to spend about four days in Harbin from mid December. Will there be snow and do I get to see snowfall? What travel advisory do you have for me, travelling in a group of about 5 persons under economy budget?
Oct. 19,2009 22:34 Mr.Clark replied:
Yes, you can see snow in mid December. For the Snow and Ice Festival is getting closer at that time, suggest you book cheaper hotel in advance.

I would like to take a trip to Harbin by the end of Dec, can I see the ice and snow sculpture during that time? Besides, I would like to know what's the temperature of Harbin and Dalian during the end of Dec. Appreciate your reply soon.
Oct. 12,2009 22:16 Mr.Clark replied:
Yes, you can see the ice and snow sculptures at that time. As to the temperature, it is averagely -16C in Harbin and colder at night. Dalian is much better. It is about 0-10C in Dalian, but windy, which make you feel colder than the actual temperature.

Usually, the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival starts at every Dec, so I think you could see the ice sculpture then. Not very sure which hotels could meet your needs. I think you could refer to this website's hotel list at http://www.travelchinaguide.com/hotel/harbin-hotels.htm

It is not the most charming season in Harbin. No snow and ice. This may be a pity, but Harbin has many exotic buildings to see. If possible, you can take train or bus to Russia from here, or just get to the counties on the border.

I've been there three years now, wear warm clothes and head/face covering outside all insides are heated BUT you can buy very cheaply suitable items. The restaurants are wonderful, taxis are about US$ 2 to $ where ever you want to go, shopping is underground in long tunnels, but you MUST be able to speak Mandarin

I suppose your train will arrive at Harbin Railway Station, not East Railway Station. So, if you take train 4032 arriving at 20:02, you have to hire a cab to the airport (at least 110RMB).
If you take train K7034 or K7036, you could hire a taxi to drive you to the Aviation Building at Zhongshan Road fistly. The taxi fare is about 10RMB~15RMB. Then, you could take the airport shuttle bus to Harbin Airport with a fare of CNY20.

Jul. 20,2009 03:36 Mr.Jack replied:
4032 reaches Harbin East Railway Station, you need to transfer to Harbin Railway Station to catch K58. City Bus 6 can be used after you get out of the east railway station. The bus will run approximately one hour to the other railway station. If you want to save time, take a taxi, about 20RMB for the fare.

Yes, there is a south railway station in Harbin, but it is not what you will use. The Harbin Railway Station is located at 1, Tielu Street, Nangang Ditrict, just close to the city center. Harbin East Railway Station, also called San Ke Shu (three trees) Railway Station, is located at Daowai District.
