About This Tour

An 8-day Harbin winter adventure — the famous Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival, ice fishing on Chagan Lake, Siberian tigers, and hot springs in the snow. Entirely within mainland China (Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces). Day 4 visits Changbai Mountain near the China-North Korea border for its crater lake views — this is a viewpoint within Chinese territory, not a border crossing.
