Harbin Travel Guide

China

Harbin is a large city in north-eastern China, with a population of about 9.9 million. Its inland position and northern location give it a distinctly continental climate, with cold winters and warm summers.

Travellers can arrive through Harbin Taiping International Airport, the city’s main listed international airport, or Harbin Pingfang Airport. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so Harbin is better suited to city-based trips than nearby coastal breaks.
