If you’re just visiting for the architecture then you could probably whizz around in about 1/2hr, if you’re going for a show or exhibition then plan accordingly.
Taxis are few and far between as the Grand Theatre is on the outskirts of the city. We ended up calling a taxi with our phone app, but unless you speak Chinese I’d ask your driver to wait.
The Sun Island Snow Sculpture Center is about a 30min taxi ride away, if I recall correctly.
I don’t know if you are aware but there are actually two sites to visit on Sun Island. One the aforementioned Snow Scultpture Center, the second is the Harbin Ice and Snow World. It’s the Snow World that has all the large ice sculpted buildings (that gets illuminate at night), and is the larger of the two parks. The Snow Sculpture Center features hand carved, well, ‘snow sculptures’ similar to what you’d find made from sand on a beach. Both are worth visiting but you will need a taxi to get between the two, and the local drivers see it as an opportunity to make money, so you’ll probably end up sharing you’re ride unless you want to pay an exhorbitant amount.
