my holidays are in 22-29, Dec. 2015,the Harbin Ice and Snow festival starts before that?

Well, the festival starts from Jan.5. But don't worry. As I know, the soft opening time is around the end of December. So you will have chance to see the ice and snow sculptures.

Thank you! So, what exactly would I miss?

During the trial operation time, you can just see a part of the sculptures. During the festival, you can see more. In addition, a variety of relative activities will be held, such as Ice Lantern Garden Party (highlight), ice bonsai masterpieces, skiing competitions, and swimming competitions.

Oh ok, now ive heard that sometimes the festival starts before, is that a possibility? And if it is, how and when can i know? Thank you!

Hi, Francisca. The festival starts from January 5th, and lasts until late February every year. You can pay close attention to the website of Travelchinaguide for the latest news. Have fun!
