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 ceremony of Harbin Ice Festival is scheduled to be on January 5th, 2025, but the ice and snow sculptures in the Harbin Ice and Snow World are open to public viewing from December 18th 2024 and lasts till mid-February 2025.

short trip to peking
![]() We do had three days in Beijing with Jiang. The organisation, driver and guiding was really great. We have been a group of 2 (couple). I think we would have needed nearly +30 percent more time to find the right queueing line at all the places. For us it was a hassel free and seamless enjoyment - to visit all the places and having a long hiking track at the great wall of china. thank you very much Jiang & china highlights & team. ps: we also tasted a lot of vegetarian food which was really great. more

Itinerary Quick Look
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests.
Your personal private tour guide will contact you a day in advance and arrange the starting time according to your preference.
As the birthplace of China's snow sculpture art, every year the Sun Island attracts snow sculpture masters from all over the world. Huge snow sculptures are given different meaning, and people can enjoy the snow in many different ways, such as snowmobile and snow golf.
Starting from the old street in Daowai District and finishing in Zhongyang Pedestrian Street, your guide will walk with you and stop at five places. You will try six kinds of traditional Harbin food and three popular local drinks.
See both the daytime and night views, which are quite different. You will enter the park at 3:30pm before darkness descends at around 4pm. Admire the colorful, spectacularly-lit ice sculptures, enjoy an indoor performance, take an ice bike for a spin, have fun in the ice labyrinth, ice slide, and ice castle…
As this is a private tour, you can decide whether to spend more or less time in the different areas according to your interests. The schedule is flexible and only for your reference.
