When you think of winter in China, the Harbin Ice Festival might be the first thing that pops into your mind. Indeed, the festival (from late December to February) is China's most iconic winter event. But exploring China in winter offers so much more.
Here are three main categories to consider:
- Ice Festivals, Snow Entertainment, and Skiing: Dive into the wonders of Harbin and the northeastern regions like Changbai Mountain and Mohe.
- Enjoying Winter Sunshine: Discover the warmth of highland areas such as Yunnan and Tibet, or bask in the mild climates of southeastern coastal regions like Guangzhou, Chaoshan, and Xiamen.
- Chilly but Stunning Landscapes: Experience breathtaking snow-covered sights at iconic attractions like the Great Wall, Huangshan, Zhangjiajie, Jiuzhaigou, and Emei Mountain. Inner Mongolia is also a great destination for enjoying snowy landscapes.

Experienced and knowledgeable private guide
![]() Mark is a knowledgeable private guide with good English skills. He always had a story or tips to share at each location we visited. Also he and Mr Joe the driver were very flexible. We were there leading up to a military parade and so some locations were restricted around Tiananmen Square and so they worked late to help us navigate the situation and accomplish our goal to see the square. more
