Plan your Beijing winter tour? Don’t miss an excursion to Longqing Gorge Ice Lantern Festival. It provides a fun day out for locals and tourists alike at the ice spectacle held annually. Over 400 ice sculptures, carved by both Chinese and foreign artists, are exhibited here. When illuminated at night, these brilliant sculptures create a fantastic visual experience. The mountains around the gorge are also illuminated, a beautiful background for the winter wonderland in the middle basin. This private tour will take you to Longqing Gorge to marvel at the intricately carved ice sculptures and ice lanterns on display. If you’re not quite ready for bitingly cold Harbin, then this tour is a closer, cheaper, and more comfortable alternative. Tour includes tasty local dinner, entrance fee, an English-speaking guide and transport by private vehicle. Seasonal tour is offered January through end of February
