I want to join harbin Ice and Snow festival because i want to see snow.

Hi, as the festival is so popular, it may be a little hard for you to hire a professional tour guide for three to four days with a low price. So it is most suggested to join a tour. This is just my own opinion to my experience.

Anyway, if you really just want a guide, you can ask your hotel, where you would stay during the festival, to find one with generally-acceptable charge.

There is another way out. Post a thread at the COMMUNITY page of this website with your requirements. Maybe certain tour guide would contact you actively.
