It's a huge park and will held snow festival every year. The scenery is beautiful, however, the ticket is too expensive considered it's only a park most of the time.

It's a nice place to visit but my friends and I were really mad when we were there; we are foreign students, we have student cards from our Chinese university, but they refused to give us the student discount because we're not undergraduate students in China. That's the first time it's ever happened to us and it got us really... More

A ton of fun. Great sculptures, slides, and ice rides. Not as cold during the day when the sun is out. Try the ice bikes! The 2 minute dogsled ride is terrible. Not much in terms of food offerings.

My February 4, 2013 visit to Sun Island costed 240 RMB, which is about $40. The ticket office workers do not speak English, so you need to gesture how many tickets you want. The snow sculptures are amazing, and there are so many of them. I'm not sure it's possible to see all the sculptures in the park because after... More

Another amazing Harbin site. How is it possible to build entire castles several stories tall out of compacted snow? For those wondering about the difference between this place and the Ice Park, Sun Island has snow construction vs. pure ice. Both are unique and are worth a visit. If you only have time for one, then go to the ice... More

This is a really beautiful attraction, although very expensive with adults costing 240rmb each. You can spend ages there looking at everything and there are additional activities available for a price. There are also lots of little cafes where you can warm up. It is a great experience just come prepared for the cold!!

We visited during the afternoon. Although it was sunny, dress warm!! Be careful walking around, it's one big ice plate. The snow sculptures are absolutely amazing. This is really one of those "you-have-to-see-it-to-believe-it". They are huge, intricate and amazing. Make sure you walk through the entire park. At the far end is a square with the most amazing sculpture and... More

The snow sculptures on Sun Island are just amazing! I highly recommend taking a few hours to walk around and there are nice forests for the kids to run around and play in the snow. Don't miss this; I thought it was better than the famous Ice Festival!

Our guide brought us to Sun Island which is beautiful in summer and holds the most amazing snow sculptures in winter. Walking can be a bit tricky so if you watch the locals it is "walk while you skate". Lots of ice on the sidewalks but well worth the visit. The most amazing sculptures are at the rear of the... More
