FAQ about Harbin Winter Trip
The Ice and Snow World venue, the Sun Island Snow Sculpture Art Expo, and the Zhaolin Park Ice Lantern Festival venue are the three main venues for Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival.
Before the opening of the Ice and Snow Festival venues, huge snow and ice sculptures are being created in the middle of December. As the venues are closed before late December, you are unable to see the sculpting process up close. However, there are still many other places to see…
At Central Street, you can see how people make (smaller) snow sculptures if lucky enough. Take the warm shuttle bus to Siberian Tigers Park, and you can see Siberian tigers in the outdoors. Have a skiing day or holiday, soak in a hot spring… Although the Ice and Snow Festival doesn’t start yet, you can still have fun in Harbin!
Batteries are affected easily by low temperatures. When outside, put your cell phone and camera in a warm bag or inside your coat. If you plan to take a lot of pictures, do bring a spare battery as batteries run out quickly in low temperatures.
