Winter has arrived — Start of Winter fell on November 7 — and the ice season is about to get expensive: Harbin’s Ice and Snow World is expected to open in late December, with its opening ceremony expected on January 5, 2027, and prices across the ice season typically rise from December 21. We checked every deal below against the live booking page on November 8, 2026: each one is still on sale, with the starting price, validity and inclusions exactly as listed. Book before the ice-season price rise, because prices and availability may change after December 21 — each deal’s own booking validity is shown below.
Every deal links to its full English page with a booking button. Prices are in CNY with an approximate USD equivalent.
Harbin ice and snow
Harbin’s Ice and Snow World — the giant ice city on the Songhua River — is expected to open in late December 2026, with its opening ceremony expected on January 5, 2027. It is not open yet, and the booking platform has no Ice and Snow World ticket on sale at the moment, so the two tours below are the closest bookable way into the north’s ice season: both are verified on sale now, with fixed departures and prices as listed. The Yichun tour spends two nights in Harbin with free time for the Ice and Snow World (its ticket is not included — buy it separately), while the Keshiketeng tour is the only December-departure northern snow tour available.
2 nights in Harbin with free time for the Ice and Snow World (ticket not included), 1-on-1 ski lessons, ice fishing, a jade hot spring at −30°C and the Northeast Tiger Park. Departures Jan 19 – Feb 21, 2027.
Chongli 5S ski lessons, Duolun Lake winter fishing, a reindeer-tribe visit and a private snow village — the only December-departure northern snow tour. Departures Dec 19, 2026 – Jan 20, 2027.
