There is some confusion with the naming of the events. This is the Snow Sculpture Art Expo. and not to be confused with the Ice and Snow Festival. Located on Sun Island Park it is a vast parkland with many sculptures together with some snow activities such as snow slides for children, sledge rides, husky rides and an interesting folk museum adjacent from the largest snow sculpture in the park. Entrance ticket price is 240 Yuan/RMB for one adult. You can watch some snow sculpturers carve the design from a block of snow. There are some food and drink outlets and a few toilets. Can be viewed during the day and later in the afternoon. Personally the snow looks better in daylight and around dusk as it highlights the carved form, but that is a personal preference. You can get to the site by taxi and if you want you can get back to central Harbin across the frozen Songhua river on foot or by horse drawn cart or take the cable car gondola from Swan castle (50Yuan/RMB each adult) which has a good view of the area.

We enjoyed a daytime visit to this park, not crowded nor as popular as Ice Sculptures. Long walkway with huge snow sculptures beside. Get hotel or travel guide name to show to taxi driver, as some are not as familiar with taking tourists there. Walkway is very slick, warming hut at the very end is nice, take tram back out to front of park. Very close to Ice exhibit but not within walking distance in the very cold temperature. Ask taxi driver to wait for you, only 70 yuan an hour average, and in this cold you will not want to wait for taxi! Excellent daytime activity! Takes about 2 hours including warming hut, walking, and taking pictures!
