Harbin Winter Ice and Snow Festival Must-See Tour: Ice and Snow World and Sun Island Snow Sculptures - Private 1-Day Tour
Departing Harbin early this morning, we'll head to Sun Island Scenic Area, a magical winter wonderland of ice and snow awaiting exploration. The park's core attraction is a cluster of giant snow sculptures, the main one a visual landmark for its sheer size and exquisite craftsmanship. Award-winning works from international snow sculpture competitions are arranged along the main axis. A sightseeing bus will weave through the staggered snow structures, showcasing the three-dimensional aesthetic interwoven between ice, snow, and light. Russian-style buildings nestle amidst the snowy forest, while painted wooden houses create a striking contrast against the pristine whiteness. Handicraft workshops offer opportunities to experience traditional craftsmanship, adding a touch of humanity to the journey.
After a brief afternoon break, we'll drive to Ice and Snow World. This Guinness-certified ice and snow theme park features a complex of ice sculptures, with an extra-long ice slide and Ferris wheel forming the main attraction. We recommend booking popular attractions in advance to maximize your experience. At night, tens of thousands of LED lights illuminate synchronously, transforming the ice sculptures into a transparent crystal world bathed in a blue-purple halo. The lights reflected on the ice blend seamlessly with the skyline, creating an immersive, dreamlike experience. Daily ice and snow-themed performances, featuring dance, acrobatics, and light and shadow effects, add a dynamic cultural rhythm to the nighttime experience.
At the end of the trip, the private car will plan the optimal return route based on the hotel's location, ensuring that you can review the day's ice and snow adventure in a warm and comfortable carriage and arrive at your residence safely.
(Warm reminder: Harbin Ice and Snow World and Sun Island Snow Sculptures have different opening times each year, around mid-December. You can make reservations in advance. Once the official opening time is announced by the scenic area, our staff will inform you as soon as possible. Thank you!)
