Harbin

Ice and Snow World, Central Street and St Sophia Cathedral — the first stop of a northeast winter.

Why visit

Travel Harbin with local experts

Harbin is the capital of Heilongjiang, with the Songhua River along its north side. In winter, Ice and Snow World builds a whole district of sculptures from river ice, best after dark when the lights come on; Central Street and St Sophia Cathedral keep their early-20th-century Russian architecture.

Winter tours usually fly in and out of Harbin, with a stop to ski at Yabuli and a night in Snow Town.
