The Essence of Harbin
Harbin, the "ice capital of China", presents Harbin Ice and Snow World's festival every year. The city becomes an ice wonderland, with everything in ice from modern architecture to traditional palaces, all carved by incredibly talented artists and made even more stunning with the use of lasers and sophisticated lighting.
This one-day tour includes the main sights of the Ice and Snow Festival and a foodie tour combined with a historical city walk. Taste representative Harbin and Northeast China dishes, get to know local people's winter life, witness the well-preserved Chinese Baroque architecture, and learn about the history of Harbin.
The opening dates for Harbin Ice and Snow World in 2026 have not yet been announced, but traditionally, it opens around the end of December.

Beijing Great Wall and Forbidden City tour
We had a great experience with the Great Wall and Forbidden City tour. Our guide, Kevin - was very patient and knowledgeable. The Great Wall was an amazing sight, we were able to walk for about 30 minutes on this tourist-oriented section of the Wall; we were fortunate that the weather was misty and rainy- most days during the summer are very hot and humid. After a lunch nearby, we went on a tour of the Forbidden City; The former palace is a huge area full of history. I highly recommend this tour. more

Hike on the great wall
We booked a hike through China Highlights, where we hiked an unrestored part of the Great Wall. Our tour guide, Oliver, was very nice and shared a lot of history along the way. The hike was about four hours long and took us through various terrain. It was very beautiful. more
