The one people mean when they say they want to see the ice festival. Harbin at one end, Snow Town in the middle, and the Ice and Snow World on the last full day with the ticket included.
You get the Yabuli horse drawn sleigh, Snow Town itself with its Big Stone Tablet and the Bangchui Mountain boardwalk, then Hengdaohezi for the Russian old street, the Middle East Railway Church Museum and the oil painting village. Back in Harbin, Saint Sophia Cathedral, the Polarpark, Zhongyang Pedestrian Street, and the ice city itself.
Nine departures from late November 2026 to February 2027, from ₱77,935 per person, which is USD 1,199, up to ₱110,435, or USD 1,699. The 8 January date is a different build: bullet train to Yabuli, the Chinese Baroque block in Harbin, and a Korean dinner and BBQ buffet instead.
Before 20 December the ice venue is the Dream Ice and Snow Pavilion. After that it is Ice and Snow World, which is the big one, and its opening date is set by the scenic area rather than by us.

Choose your dates in the booking box and the price follows.
If you travel after 20 December, yes, and the ticket is in your price. Before that date it has not opened for the season and the itinerary uses the Dream Ice and Snow Pavilion instead, also ticketed. The exact opening is announced by the scenic area each year, so a late November or early December departure is a Snow Town trip with ice sculpture rather than the full ice city.
It is JSC’s bullet train build. You take the train to Yabuli rather than the coach, Day 1 adds the Chinese Baroque block in Harbin, and the meals include a Korean dinner and a BBQ buffet. It is also sold specifically as a no force shopping tour. It costs USD 1,499, which sits between the December and New Year rates.
Harbin in January sits around minus twenty in the day and colder at night, and Snow Town is colder still. You need a proper down coat, thermal base layers, insulated waterproof boots, gloves and something over your face. Day 1 includes a voluntary stop at a cotton padded clothing shop for anyone who has got it wrong, which tells you how often people do.
No. The only retail stop on the programme is the cotton padded clothing store on Day 1, and the supplier states plainly that buying there is voluntary. There are no 90 minute compulsory stores and no surcharge for skipping anything.
Yes, and we handle it. You travel on a China group visa, which costs USD 40 per person, about ₱2,600, collected with your tour fee. It is a group document, so you enter and leave China together with the group.
Five hotel breakfasts, plus four or five lunches and four or five dinners depending on which departure you take. Either way you pay for very little of your own food on this trip, which matters when the nearest alternative is a long walk in minus twenty.
A child from 2 to 6 years old without their own bed is USD 100 less than the adult on every departure, about ₱6,500 off. From 6 years old local rules require their own bed and they pay the adult rate. Tell us the ages when you book.
A deposit of USD 500 per person, about ₱32,500, within three days of confirming. It is non refundable and it cannot be transferred to another departure. The rest is due one month before you travel.
