Harbin International ConventionHotel Shuttles

A major part of Harbin’s bustling economy, the Harbin International Convention, Exhibition & Sports Center offers a myriad of ways to enjoy China’s northern territories, not only through its location in the trendy Nangang District but close access to tranquil mountain escapes east of the city. The center is home to various sports fields and arenas used in the Asian Winter Games as well as a large exhibition floor room, not to mention epic performances showcased at the attached Global Theatre. Surrounding hotels and the Conference/Exhibition Center Subway Station also make things convenient for business travelers, though private vehicles offer the priceless perk of driving with freedom. Choose between casual sedans or massive chartered buses to see the true scope of the area, or make quick trips easygoing with meet-and-greet services ranging from casual taxis ideal for reaching Harbin Airport to local personal drivers who can offer intriguing insight.

Enjoy the region by sticking to the venue’s adjacent Changjiang Road, a mainstay of the neighborhood lined with various hotels, restaurants and parks. Popular nearby lodging includes Victories Hotel and its luxury 5-star lookouts on the west side of the venue, while the opulent Yourong Hotel offers just as much lavishness on the east end. And for something more casual, go with low-cost options like Apple Holiday Inn or Harbin Dahua Inn. Interesting ways to have fun include networking opportunities at the Harbin International Golf Club as well as fun views of the entire region from the astounding Dragon Tower’s rotating observation deck. For something truly amazing, escape the region altogether for a venture into the Laozumu Peak Scenic Area or the Menggu Mountain Scenic Area, finally winding the night down with a bite to eat from one of many nearby restaurants that include fine Chinese dining from Ku Lu Li and a gem of French-Chinese fusion courtesy of Elements All Day Dining.
