Most international visitors require a Chinese visa—check your country’s requirements well before travel and carry passport copies for transfers.
Expect daytime highs below freezing and nighttime lows often between −10°C and −25°C; dress in insulating layers and protect extremities.
Many sites and the included private transfers note wheelchair access, but icy surfaces and some older buildings may limit access; confirm specific needs when booking.
The package includes breakfast; lunches and dinners are generally on your own except where noted—allow time to try local Russian-influenced cafés and hot-pot spots.
