It is suggested to get into the Harbin Ice and Snow World at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and then have fun playing games or taking part of the ice and snow activities inside. When darkness falls and all the colorful lights are on, the Ice and Snow World will look extremely beautiful. If possible, try to avoid traveling in the Spring Festival and the weekends, when there will be quite a lot of tourists and it likely to lead to spend hours for queuing. Staying in the park for a long time will be very cold, so be sure to wear warm clothing.
