Sun Island Scenic Area

Harbin · 1 day

The scenic area comprises Sun Island together with nearby islands and sandbars, and was once a hugely popular destination in Harbin. Its unpretentious, rugged northern landscape makes it the first choice of Harbin residents for outings and picnics. The annual Snow Expo is the scenic area's biggest highlight, with wonderfully lifelike snow sculptures that captivate visitors.

Harbin Ice and Snow World

Harbin · 4–5 hours

The crowning achievement of Harbin's many ice and snow attractions, this is where many of the large ice lanterns and ice sculptures are created. Every Spring Festival holiday, the Ice and Snow World makes its dazzling debut, and it never fails to surprise visitors.
