Things to do in Harbin

I wholeheartedly recommend this 7-day, 6-night customized itinerary in Northeast China. The overall arrangement was impeccable, allowing for a relaxed pace without rushing through attractions. The itinerary perfectly balanced cultural and border landscapes with the natural wonders of Changbai Mountain, from the Puppet Manchukuo Palace and Changchun Film Studio in Changchun, to the tri-border area in Hunchun and the Korean ethnic charm of Yanji, and then to Tianchi Lake, forest stream trekking, and forest rafting. The route connections were seamless, accommodations were high-quality, and all tickets were included, saving us time and effort. Before the trip, we received thoughtful advice on clothing, mosquito repellent, and viewing Tianchi Lake, among other practical tips. There were no hidden costs throughout the trip, making for an absolutely fantastic experience! I especially want to commend the two incredibly reliable drivers: On the first day in Changchun, Mr. Yu Haibao provided all transfers. He arrived early to wait for us, and his car was clean, tidy, and odor-free. He drove smoothly and skillfully on city roads, was familiar with all the popular photo spots in Changchun, patiently explained the city's history along the way, and actively helped us with our luggage. He managed the itinerary pace perfectly, pre-planning parking spots at hotels and attractions. His gentle and meticulous demeanor left us with an excellent first impression of the trip. From the second day, departing from Hunchun, until the final day's drop-off at the station, Mr. Zhang Guolong accompanied us throughout, and he deserves the highest praise! His driving skills on long-distance mountain roads, border roads, and the winding roads of Changbai Mountain were superb; the ride was consistently smooth and bump-free, so we never had to worry about motion sickness. Mr. Zhang has been deeply rooted in the local area for many years and is very familiar with the road conditions, hidden scenic spots, and authentic Korean ethnic restaurants along the routes of Hunchun, Tumen, Yanji, and Changbai Mountain. He actively avoided congested areas. Before ascending Tianchi Lake, he reminded us to bring warm jackets, and during the Qifeng Valley stream trekking and ginseng digging, he thoughtfully reminded us of safety precautions. He was waiting punctually after our rafting trip. Every day, he prepared the vehicle in advance and actively helped with luggage. He was always cooperative with any minor itinerary adjustments, was generous and down-to-earth, and provided attentive care throughout, ensuring our journey was safe and smooth. The entire trip featured breathtaking scenery and attentive, thoughtful service. Both drivers were professional, responsible, enthusiastic, and warm-hearted. The itinerary planning was reasonable and comfortable, with no pitfalls whatsoever. It was a perfect trip to Northeast China, and I highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit the region! 🌹

tour guide: is helpful, accommodating and she always update us on what is next to do and what is the next activity. accomodation options: they upgraded our room as we have our own room with own cr and complete toiletries itinerary: we had great experience and they tried to follow the itinerary attractions: we were surprised that the attractions are really fun specially the river drift

The tour was really nice but the weather was really a challenge coming from a tropical country. Considering all the inclusions it was also cheap. Not all activities were done but I understand coz I dont think I can also do all considering the freezing weather

The tour is very good and comprehensive, worthwhile for anyone wanting to do a day trip. I don't speak Chinese and the guide didn't speak English, but they guided us by sending messages via WeChat and we used a translator in some situations. Everything went well.

It Is a very nice experience! Staffs are kind and helpful. make up was done very well. You have multiple clothes choices. Wonderful experience! Location is easy to find

The driver took great care of us, took us to the restroom, took us to eat, took us to mail postcards at the post office, took us to play in the snow, paid the ski deposit for us, and took pictures for us. He did everything! He was everything to us, absolutely excellent. He even woke us up in the morning. The coordination in the WeChat group was excellent and very responsive. attractions: transport options: very smooth trip tour guide: excellent itinerary: very good

Our private tour guide was Zheng Yu, although we didn’t speak Mandarin fluently, he made sure to bring a translator so we could communicate at all times. He was very funny and lovely making the trip worthwhile. He went out of the way and logged our luggage through snow town to made sure we had the best time. If anyone gets him in the future, you are very lucky !!!

I personally feel that the food served was not worth the money paid. The only expensive food item was the Buddha Jump Over the Wall. The flavour was also off as I could only taste ginger which was added to mask the fishy smell from the seafood. But it killed the umaemi flavour of the seafood. well, just for the performance and experience. plus they don't clear the empty plates from the table.
