In winter, parts of the Songhua River near Harbin freeze, making it a popular spot for ice skating, hockey and other winter activities on the ice. The famous Binzhou Bridge spans across the Songhua River. As the sun sets, brace yourself for a memorable experience as we visit the renowned Ice and Snow World. This is the most famous thing about Harbin 🙂 — Prepare to be amazed by the huge ice and snow sculptures that transform this park into a breathtaking winter paradise.
Note: Please be aware that Snow Town experiences significant snowfall each year, and this can result in road closures and limited access to the area.
