hello... hailar/manzhouli in winter (january) is okay for visit?

I'm afraid not. It will be extremely cold in Jan. there, with the average temp of around -30C.

Hi Fenny, thanks for your reply.

I know it will be freezing, but since I am also coming from harbin, i guess it makes no difference (or it did?).

just curious about this little city :)

so nothing to see in January?

No difference between the two places. Very cold!

In Jan. 2013, the National Auto Icy Tournament was held in Hailar. It was really worthy time. But the activities in Jan. 2014 hven't been published yet. Anyway, it would also be a good idea to experience the life of local people there.

ok. can someone suggest the best way to get to manzhouli from harbin?

train will be 700RMB/person round trip, 14 hours mostly.

can't find any flight at the moment.

is it a good idea not to prebook the flight 3 weeks travel prior to chinese new year?

Yeah, although there is train service between, it takes a little long. I suggest you book the air ticket between Harbin and Manzhouli three weeks to a month ahead.

any recommendation where and what flight to book?

I heard the Tianjin Airline owns that flight.

hi joyce, thanks for your reply

I could not find any schedule for january which is quite strange

Still cannot find any flight for this little gem

just to update that I found the flight round trip cost me 1000 RMB which is okay i belive.

so let's go to manzhouli

any suggestions what to visit is highly appreciated.

love you all

hi all

honestly, nothing much to see.
