Want to step into the world of shiny ice and snow fairy tales? Harbin Ice and Snow World is a fantastic choice! As the world's largest ice and snow park, it is built with giant ice bricks into castles, slides, mazes, and when the lights are on at night, it's like a magical world, like a real version of "Frozen" scene✨ Now we give you super practical tips, so that you can play safely and have fun ~ (Easy notebook version of the strategy is placed in picture 2, save it!)
[Transportation and Parking Tips]
The park has two entrances, the East Gate and the South Gate. East Gate is close to Exit 4 of Metro Line 2, which is more crowded but closest to the popular “Super Ice Slide”, while South Gate is closer to the “Snowflake Ferris Wheel” and less crowded. Free shuttle bus is provided between the two doors, flexible route arrangement is super convenient! Self-driving visitors can park in paid parking lots (e.g. B2 parking lot near the east gate), but early arrival is recommended due to tight parking spaces. Warm reminder: Entry is required to pass security check, but bring your own food and drinks is allowed.
[Guide to Extreme Cold Warm Equipment]
Keeping warm in the severe cold is the top priority! Three layers of protection are essential: Choose a long down jacket (preferably to cover your knees), non-slip thick-soled snow boots and a warm hat that protects your ears. It is highly recommended to add a scarf, windproof gloves and a mask, and stick warm packs on the back, abdomen and soles of the feet! In addition, the snow is extremely reflective and it is recommended to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.
Also, be sure to bring your own thermos, as hot water will be provided free of charge at the visitor center. Also bring a large-capacity charger, because the phone consumes power particularly fast at low temperatures, it would be a pity to miss the moment to check in!
[Must-play item booking secrets]
Advance reservations are required for the park’s two popular facilities – the Super Ice Slide and the Snowflake Ferris Wheel! Remember to scan the official QR code immediately after entering the park, or link your tickets via WeChat public account to grab a spot (up to 3 people can be booked at a time, you need to queue with the code after booking). Popular hours fill up quickly, late may regret missing! In addition, snow hoops and ice bikes can be rented in the park, please note that snow hoops need to be returned in designated areas.
[Safety Precautions for Amusement Park]
🔹Slip carefully! The ground of the park is almost completely covered with ice and snow, be sure to slow down when walking, especially carrying the elderly or children need to pay extra attention, it is recommended to choose snow boots with anti-slip studs.
🔹 Take advantage of the warm house to rest, there are several heating cabins in the park, if you feel numbness in your hands and feet or face, you should immediately enter and rest for 15 minutes to restore your body temperature and avoid frostbite!
🔹Finely carved ice sculptures are extremely fragile, please do not touch or climb, jointly maintain the fantastic landscape.
Ice and Snow World is usually open from mid-December to the end of February (remember to check the official website before departure!), it is recommended to enter at 1pm: enjoy the crystal ice sculptures during the day, immerse yourself in the sea of magic lights after night ✨ Remember to buy tickets on trip.com! I still have enough clothes to wear. It's really cold at minus 10 degrees Celsius! Have fun ~ ❄️ By the way, what else is there to do in Harbin?
