Duration 5 days / 4 nightsBest season Mid-December to FebruaryGroup size 2-8 guestsDepartures Weekly

In winter Harbin turns into a city of ice and snow. This trip brings together Ice-Snow World, the snow sculptures, a ski day and a snow-covered village, all in the season when they exist.

Ice-Snow World runs from mid-December to late February, and its opening date shifts a little each year. Because of that, this trip runs in winter only, and we confirm the opening before you travel.

FAQ

When does Ice-Snow World open?

It usually runs from mid-December to late February, and the opening date shifts a little each year. We confirm it for your dates before you book.

I am worried about the cold. Will it be OK?

Some days drop to minus 20, so winter gear is essential. You move between warm vehicles and hotels, and we split the outdoor time into shorter blocks.

Is this OK with children?

The ice sculptures and skiing are a hit with kids. The cold is strong, though, so warm layers matter, and we keep the outdoor time manageable.

Is the no-shopping promise real?

We do not include shopping centres or forced stops. If you want to visit a local market, we add it and let you decide.

How do I find out the price?

It depends on your dates, group size and hotel category, so we quote on request. Send us your dates and numbers on WhatsApp or WeChat.
