We are thinking of planning a trip to China in January 2006 to see the Ice Festival in Harbin. We can be there at any time during that month. Would welcome any advice as to the best time to be there and any hotel suggestions. Thank you.

To book in advance may be necessary since more and more southerners swarm there for this festival.

We would prefer a luxury hotel if possible. I have tried booking but the Holiday Inn seems to be the only hotel taking reservations at this time. Do you know when the Shangri-la (or other luxury hotels) start accepting reservations for the Ice Festival? We are thinking of flying from Shanghai but I am having difficulty finding nonstop flights from that city. Do they add nonstop flights in January or should I just plan on flying from Beijing? Any information and tips(I know to dress in many layers) would be most appreciated.
