Full description

Every winter Harbin builds a city of ice. Blocks cut from the frozen Songhua River are stacked and carved into castles, towers and ice slides, and when darkness falls they glow in every colour. Snow sculptors fill the parks on Sun Island with giant figures and scenes, and the whole city celebrates the cold.

This private tour takes the planning off your hands. Your guide and driver collect you from your hotel, take you to the snow sculptures in daylight and then to the Ice and Snow World as the lights come on, with warm-up stops along the way. The route can include Saint Sophia Cathedral and Central Street if you wish. It runs only during the ice season, roughly late December to late February.
