Budget Breakdown (per person) Transportation: Round-trip high-speed train/flight about 800-1200 RMB (depending on departure city). Accommodation: 2 nights × 200 RMB = 400 RMB. Tickets: Ice and Snow World 298 RMB + Snow Town/Yabuli 150 RMB ≈ 450 RMB. Meals: 3 days × 100 RMB = 300 RMB. Others: Local transportation + snacks ≈ 200 RMB. Total: About 2800 RMB (flexible options can reduce costs). Tips Bring sufficient warm clothing in winter (down jacket, snow boots, heat packs). Book accommodation and tickets in advance; avoiding peak seasons like Chinese New Year can save budget. If time allows, add attractions like Volga Manor or Northeast Tiger Park. Hope this plan helps you; Harbin’s ice and snow romance awaits your exploration!❄️
