Harbin (Haerbin) Discount Hotels, Hostels

Harbin (nicknamed "Ice City"), is famous for its spectacular winter activities. The Ice Lantern Festival in Zhaolin Park (name after a famous General Li Zhaolin) usually starts in January 5th and lasts till February. Fanciful ice sculptures are crafted in the shapes of animals, plants, buildings or legendary figures. At night the sculptures are illuminated from inside with colorful lights, turning the river-side park into a fantasy-land.
