Say hello to BILLY for us we so enjoyed him as our guide. Hope you like him as much as we did. Wish we were there in Harbin with you I could easily do all that over again. I just looked on line. The festival looks even better than we went. The snow and ice sculptures are totally different. I love the sphinx! I also checked the weather and it looks good for your trip. Not sure when you actually go to Harbin or when you leave Harbin but for the next ten days it looks great. Partly sunny or sunny most days with a maximum of 10% chance of precipitation and very light wind. FANTASTIC - still cold of course but it has to be or those sculptures would melt.
