Travel routes and costs from Yantai to Harbin

The best time to see the ice lanterns is at the end of December and preferably at the beginning of January!

There are two places to go to see the ice lanterns. Harbin Ice and Snow World, on Sun Island, the ticket price varies every year, about 100~150 yuan, and Zhaolin Park, next to Central Street, the ticket price is higher than the ice and snow world. The world is slightly cheaper. Zhaolin Park is the venue for the Old Ice Lantern Festival, which has a history, and the Ice and Snow World is a rising star. Most people who travel to Harbin go to Harbin Ice and Snow World. In the Ice and Snow World, there are ice slides, dog sledges and other recreational activities for a fee.

Following a group or not, each has its own advantages. The tour price varies every year, so it is recommended to consult in advance. It's convenient to join a tour group, there are many places to visit, and there are explanations so you don't have to worry. But taking a group tour is sometimes just a quick tour, and some attractions are hard to fully explore. This depends on personal choice.

For the non-tourist route, there are buses on Central Street, and the fare is two yuan per person to the entrance of the Ice and Snow World.

Accommodation ~ Seven Days Express Hotel, Xilong Hotel... These chain stores are available in Harbin. You can just make an appointment online. They are affordable, convenient and clean.

I can’t say the cost, it depends on how you want to play. How many days to play.

What’s more fun in Harbin in winter is to go to Sun Island Park to see the snow sculptures~! In fact, all the roads in Harbin are full of small ice lanterns and snow sculptures
