Ice Festival Harbin, Heilongjiang, China
4.5 (83 reviews) Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent Ranking #9 in Harbin Cultural Events
Beijing-Harbin Tour
Harbin, the capital of China's frigid Heilongjiang province in the northest, plays host to China's biggest ice sculpture festival every January. The event is rooted in the region's ancient tradition of ice lantern making, and the modern-day incarnation of these lighted vessels are giant, elaborate scupltures made of ice, plastic and colored lights. Many tourists are unprepared for just how cold the region can get in winter, but the temperatures are perfect for allowing these grandiose ice exhibits from local and international artists to survive outdoors. Winter sports such as ice skating and sledding are popular side attractions.

Our VET guide was wonderful! We spent 2 days experiencing Harbin including Tiger World, Snow and Ice Festival, Playing on the Songhuajang River and shopping in Zhongyang Pedestrian street.. It was amazing. I can't say enough about VET travel. No annoying your guide that talked all the time. You were able to relax and enjoy things at your leisure. Best your group to use by far.
