2 Days Classic Harbin City Tour with Volga Manor

Day-by-day Itinerary

1. Day 1: Harbin City Tour
   Explore the Landmarks and Enjoy the Grand Harbin Ice Festival

   In the morning, the English-speaking tour guide and driver will pick you up from Harbin downtown hotel and your exploration begins! The first stop will be the Siberian Tiger Park. Covering an area of 360,000 square meters, it was established out of a desire to save and protect the world's endangered species, the Northeast Tiger. We will take a special sightseeing bus to enjoy the 300 wild tigers walking freely. Besides, you will also see white lions, leopards, lynx, and other treasured animals.

   Continue your Harbin tour to the famous Central Street, where you can see many Baroque-style European buildings and interesting ice and snow sculptures of different shapes. And of course, you will be attracted by the lively vendors, restaurants, pubs and snacks. Next, go to admire the St. Sophia Cathedral from the outside. Built in 1907, it is a typical Byzantine building with a huge green onion-head dome. Named the Architectural Art Museum of Harbin, St. Sophia Church showcases the history, culture, and architectural art of Harbin.

   

   Later, transfer you to the world-famous Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Art Expo in Sun Island. Unlike the ice sculptures we'll see this evening at the Ice and Snow World, the snow sculptures here are more suitable for daytime viewing. The annual snow expo lasts about two months, during which visitors will enjoy a variety of large-scale snow sculptures from Chinese and foreign artists, which are exquisite in appearance and have a strong sense of art.

   After dinner, you will go to experience the magical Ice and Snow World, the highlight of our Harbin tour package. The Harbin Ice Festival is recognized as the world's largest snow and ice theme park. Here you will enjoy beautiful ice sculptures. When night falls, the ice lanterns are even more enchanting with their colorful LED lights. You can try recreation programs such as ice slides, ice bikes, and Ferris wheels. At the end of the day, return to the hotel for a good rest.

   

2. Day 2: Harbin Volga Manor Tour
   Enjoy a Relaxing Family Time at the Russian-style Manor

   Today your family will spend most of the day at Volga Manor (1.5 hours of driving from your hotel). Located on the outskirts of Harbin, this is a fairytale world full of Russian flavor with more than 40 Russian-style buildings, including red old castles and blue-roofed cabins. In this manor, your kids can experience various amusement facilities such as snow tubing or ice skating. In addition, cultural experiences, dining, and lodging are all available, making it perfect for a visit with family and friends.

   Besides, there is an authentic Russian music and dance show available in the manor (the show closes each Monday). At the end of the Volga Manor tour in Harbin, you will be escorted back to Harbin city and be dropped off at your hotel. The 2-day Harbin tour will end by then.
