More about Harbin Ice and Snow Festival
Harbin is the capital city of the Heilongjiang Province which is the most north-easterly part of China and borders Russia. During the long cold winter months the temperature can drop down to as low as -22°F (-30°C). Snow carvings, ice lanterns, fireworks display and snow recreations make Harbin one of China's most popular winter destinations. Skiing and ice sliding are popular activities. More amazing is winter swimming in the Songhua River, not for the faint of heart.
Harbin International Ice Festival is one of world's four largest international ice festivals, along with Japan's Sapporo Snow Festival, Canada's Quebec Winter Carnival, and Norway's Ski Festival. It starts annually on January 5 and lasts usually to the end of February, weather permitting. During this period, people throughout the world take part in the various artist, cultural, athletic and tourist events. The 28th Harbin Ice and Snow Festival will start on January 5, 2012. It is a great winter festival and if you are in China during this period, it really should not be missed.
What's on during the festival: Snow Sculpture Expo, Ice Lantern Garden Party, the skiing contest, football match on the snow covered land, figure skating competition, tauto rally on ice, theatrical performances and economic and trade talks.

Please reply ASAP

TravelerHi there. I plan to come to Harbin on the 23rd of January 2012. You say meals are included in the money, so would that all be Chinese meals? Is it possible to specify No pork? We will be 2 people and I want to be make a tailor made departure. what is the next step I should take with bookings and arrangements?
TravelerHello,
I was thinking about participating on a tour on January 17th / 18th for about 3 days.
Would the difference between the private tour and group tour be just the amount of people participating in the tour?
Also, I had a little more questions about the itinerary. Is it two full days of activities with the 3rd day being just the transfer to the air port?
lastly, how long would the flight from Hong Kong to Harbin would be?
NancyIs it possible to just book the city tour without hotel?
I am traveling alone and don't wish to pay such a high single supplement charge.
I can find hotels for much cheaper.
I live in Jinhua and will be arriving in Beijing on Feburay 1 at 1pm. I will fly to Harbin and arrive at 5pm.
I would like a 2 day tour of Harbin and would love to join others in a group. Perhaps you have other enquiries and could put me together with a group or another single person?
I plan on staying in Harbin from Feb. 1 - 4 or 5 then returning to Jinhua.
Thanks.
