Experience Harbin Ice and Snow World with VIP, no-queue entry, private guide and car. Glide down the longest ice slide, ride the Ferris wheel above frozen sculptures, and spend as much time inside the park as you like.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the heated car into a clean, glassy world: towers of carved ice catch the blue winter sun and LED veins pulse as dusk arrives. The air bites, but your guide hands over VIP admission and the festival opens without a queue — the sculptures dare you nearer, the long ice slide invites a quick, whooping descent, and the Ferris wheel lifts you over a glittering city.

Harbin’s ice celebrations date to the 1960s and expanded into the international Harbin Ice and Snow Festival after the 1980s; modern large-scale illuminated parks grew in prominence in the 1990s.
Conservation
Temporary ice architecture uses river ice and significant lighting; minimize impact by staying on paths, avoiding touching sculptures, and disposing of waste in bins provided.
