Toby Zhao met me promptly at my hotel at 5p on the day I arrived in Harvin. She was a breathe of fresh air, knowledgable and pleasant! She truly made my trip (for three tours) very enjoyable! We had a grand time walking down the beautifully lit Zhongyang Pedestrian Street. I requested that we stop a number of shops to get a sense of Harbin, which was interesting with both Chinese and Russian shops. From there we also visited underground shopping, Flood Control Monument, walked along the river looking at snow sculptures and finally arriving at the Ice and Lantern Show in Zhaollin Park. Lights and snow & ice carvings were great!
