Zhaolin Park

Harbin


A pleasant green space in the heart of old Harbin, Zhaolin Park comes alive during the Harbin Ice & Snow Festival with its Ice Lantern Display. Tickets don't come cheap, however, so you might want to save your yuán for the more spectacular Ice & Snow World and the Harbin International Snow Sculpture Art Expo at Sun Island.
