Festival and Event Tours in China
- Wrap up warm for the Harbin Ice Festival, the largest event of its kind in the world. Taking place in January, it is the ultimate celebration of ice sculpture, with enormous ice statues and full-sized ice ‘buildings’.
- Join the crowds for Lunar New Year, the most important festival of the year. Whether you’re in China’s biggest cities or smallest towns you can be sure of a sumptuous banquet of traditional foods, streets decorated with lanterns, and impressive fireworks displays. It takes place at the end of January or early February. Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Harbin are some of the best places to celebrate.
- Help honor the ancestors during late August’s Hungry Ghost Festival, when families commemorate those who have gone before them with elaborate meals before burning (fake) paper money to provide the spirits with an income for the year.
