HELLO! I plan on getting to Harbin January 9-10th. I'll be entering Harbin at 3pm.

What time do the ice events end? I'll be staying in the city center so I am thinking of going to Zhaolin Park. Then maybe in the morning I will go check out the ice sculptures at Sun Island. Is this a good idea?

Should I get tickets in advance?

And lastly, how can I get to Sun Island from the Harbin city center?

Thank you so much for your answers!
