Day 1 Arrival in Harbin
Ice and Snow World
Our guide and driver will meet you at the airport or railway station upon your arrival. In order to have a relaxing itinerary, we suggest you take a train or flight that arrives before 12:00 noon. We will give you for a hearty lunch at a famous local restaurant.
After lunch, we will start this 2-day private Harbin tour at the Central Street, a busy pedestrian street for shopping and dining. Old western-styled architectures line both sides of the street and is worth taking pictures of. You will have time to wander around the area to try local snacks or shop for souvenirs. Then we will move on to the St. Sophia Cathedral located in the bustling Central Street. It is a large Byzantine-style Eastern Orthodox Church. The big green tipped dome is its distinct feature.
We will take the rest of the day to explore the wonderful Ice and Snow World, which is a must for the Harbin Ice Festival tour. A lot of ice sculptures masterpieces are on display, creating splendid pictures with ice crystals. There are also many fun ice and snow recreational activities, such as sledding and snow fighting. It is especially gorgeous after dark when the crystal world is lit into a dream-like wonderland of colorful castles.
Finally, our guide will take you to a hotel in the downtown hotel where you can get a good rest and be ready for the next day's adventure.

Harbin gets really cold in winter starting in November. Most sightseeing activities take place outdoors, so we recommend that you bring warm clothes so as not to get cold.

00ReplyApril is not a very good time to visit Harbin as the ice sculptures are not available at that time. You may visit St. Sofia Orthodox Church, Centre Street, Dragon Tower, Zhaolin Park and Siberian Tiger Park. Yabuli is the most recommended place for skiing, but it is closed at the end of March. If you want to go skiing, you may try to contact the skiing resort at Changbai Mountain.

Thank you and best regards,

10ReplyI suggest you take train to Yabuli, very convenient. You can take train no. K7227 from Harbin Railway Station at 06:53. The train arrives at Yabuli South at 09:22 and the fare is around CNY30 per person. After visit, you may take train back to Harbin at around 4pm.
