A great visit to Harbin’s Sun Island on 30 December 2020. The cold did not dampen our spirits as this place is BEAUTIFUL. The snow sculptures were breathtaking. I loved the slide that they built right on a frozen lake. So much fun. The ice sculptors are just amazing artists and craftsmen. A must visit for all who pay Harbin a visit during winter. …

Snow sculptures were big and beautiful. There’s a place to warm up and get snacks and warm drinks near the biggest sculptures.

I was a little surprised that this place was a lot more expensive than the famous ice festival entrance fee. Despite being overpriced, it’s worth visiting to see the spectacular snow sculptures.

omg, so much fun! it was actually not that cold when we went, around -15C compared to it being -28 the day before haha. we had so much fun here, the people working here where friendly too. it's definitely a unique experience, some of the exhibitions are just amazing. I went here in Jan 2020 after being in Japan for a week, and I enjoyed Harbin the most! It's just such a unique experience, I have such fond memories of the time me and my friends spent here and the people we met here :) I will definitely come back the next time I can! the tip I'd have is to make sure you bring some food with you, because there's not many places to get proper food. me and my friend forgot to do that and were eating lots of crisps in one of the igloos, but I wish we brought some food with us. make sure you bring warm clothes! if you buy some heat warmer pads, some for your shoes and some for around your stomach and thighs, you actually won't need to wear many layers of clothes! I definitely recommend buying some, I got some before I went but apparently you can buy them in Harbin too, although I didn't see where.…
