Beyond sub-zero temperatures, winter in Harbin is a time to experience an enchanting, icy wonderland with experiences tailored for the cold.

In December, tour agency ASA Holidays will be running a nine-day tour through Heilongjiang province. It includes explorations of the snowy landscape in a luxury sightseeing train called Yichun Luxury Train.

The company has obtained exclusive rights from the agencies behind Yichun Luxury Train, Yichun Forest Industry Group and Harbin Railway Bureau Group - to sell this tour in Singapore until December 2025.
