My name is Paul Lapierre. I am an elderly male of 76 years in very good health. I am planning to visit the the Harbin Ice and Snow festivals in January 2013. This would be my 5th joutney to China. I also realize it is early to finalize the cost of this tour. However, I would appreciate from your agency the approximate cost (less international travel )for a seven day itinerary of the Harbin area. A three star hotel is satisfactory. I would travel direct from America to Harbin via Beijing. I would also appreciate any suggestions you may offer regarding this tour as I am not familliar with the surrounding area. Thank you, Paul Lapierre
