The area is vast with many attractions, especially the stunning lighting effect after dusk. However, it's a drawback that you have to book every activity in advance or you won't have a chance to participate. When leaving, be careful as it's difficult to catch a bus from the other exits unless you exit through the main gate where you can take the subway.
You absolutely must book a pick-up service at Harbin Airport. Harbin is cold but also fun, so making sure you're comfortable is the most important thing for your trip. This pick-up and drop-off platform offers friendly service and great value for money.
