It's not that Iceland is unaffordable, it's that Harbin offers more value for your money. 🔸Winter is here, and my desire to visit Harbin has reached its peak!! Let me share my experience of traveling with a tour group! - 🔸As first-time visitors to northern China, unfamiliar with the area, we prioritized safety and planned a detailed itinerary with my best friend. We consulted many online agencies but felt they weren't reliable. Eventually, we chose an agency recommended by a friend who had previously used their services and trusted them. We inquired about various aspects and were satisfied with their responses. - 🔸Although it was a group tour, it was a small, purely sightseeing group. Including my friend and me, there were only six people in total. The tour included airport pickup, flexible stops, and a customizable itinerary, perfect for someone like me who dislikes planning. The tour guide was also very attentive, taking many photos for us, and there were no hidden costs. We've just returned, and we had a fantastic time over these five or six days! - 🚙Transportation We joined a small group of 6 people and traveled in a 7-seater commercial vehicle, which was very spacious. If you're planning a group tour to Harbin, be sure to inquire about the vehicle type, as you'll spend a considerable amount of time on the road. A poor driver or a cramped vehicle can significantly impact your experience! Kudos to our tour guide's driving skills! - 🏘Accommodation The hotels and guesthouses we stayed in were clean, unlike some of the negative reviews I've seen online. Heating, hot water, and other amenities were all in good working order, and the service was excellent. I believe that comfortable accommodation is essential when traveling. After a long day of sightseeing and exploring, everyone appreciates a cozy place to rest. - 👯Group Travel My friend and I joined a small group, and the other members were also girls. We got along very well. At each attraction, we had the freedom to explore and take photos at our own pace. It's very flexible and convenient. If you're traveling with a group of friends or family, booking a small group tour is highly recommended. - 🔥Itinerary Day 1: Departure City → Harbin Day 2：Harbin → Hengdaohezi → Siberian Tiger Park → Hufenling Scenic Area → Tea Ceremony → Traditional Clothing Experience Day 3：Hufenling → Snow Wonderland Ten Mile Gallery → China Snow Town Day 4：China Snow Town → Yabuli Ski Resort → Harbin Day 5：Harbin → Central Street → Saint Sophia Cathedral → Harbin Railway Bridge - ⚠Tips ✅Ensure the contract is an official electronic contract issued by the National Tourism Administration; otherwise, don't book. ✅Check if the fee is all-inclusive and if attraction tickets require separate payment. Be sure to ask for clarification. ✅Don't be swayed by overly cheap tours, as they often involve mandatory shopping stops and require you to purchase tickets for entertainment activities separately. Avoid these at all costs. ✅Inquire about the specific location of your accommodation in advance and request photos or videos if possible. A poor environment can negatively impact your experience. - 💕This five-day trip to Harbin was truly wonderful! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, making our trip hassle-free. If you're planning a group tour, be sure to ask questions, compare options, and choose a reputable travel agency. I wish you all a pleasant travel experience!
