The Harbin Ice Festival is the biggest event of its type, and attracts visitors from all over the world. Beautiful Ice Sculptures grace the city’s streets, and two areas are set aside for some truly amazing pieces of Ice art. Ice and Snow World features illuminated full-size buildings made from blocks of crystal clear ice up to two feet thick. Sun Island, on the opposite side of the main river (from where the ice is taken) is home to huge snow sculptures, and many winter activities, including Ice Skating and Dog sledding. Harbin is in the North East of China, and can be accessed by comfortable Bullet train from Beijing, in about 8 hours. The journey of 1200 kilometres takes you closer to the border with Russia, and the architectural influences of Eastern Europe become more obvious as the journey progresses..indeed, Harbin is also known as the Eastern Moscow. A great holiday to China can be put together with visits to Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an, (where you can see the Terracotta Warriors) and Harbin for some fun in the snow at the end. Packages for 9 days, including 4 star hotels, breakfast, entrance fees, and English Speaking guides, start at $2428.00 per person, plus airfare.
