Longyearbyen Sightseeing in Chinese

This is a guided sightseeing tour of Longyearbyen, given in Chinese by Svalbard Photography. It drives much of the local roads, beginning in Adventdalen and then heading west to the airport area and viewpoints above Adventfjorden. The guide talks about Arctic nature, permafrost, logistics, safety rules, and everyday life at 78 degrees north, plus how Longyearbyen changed from a mining community into a centre for research and tourism. Possible sights are the centre of Longyearbyen, the entrance of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, the Arctic World Archive area, Svalbard Church, the hospital, Huset, leftovers of Mines 1 to 7 and local dog yards. EISCAT and the Kjell Henriksen Observatory are added if visibility permits. Order and stops can change with road, weather and visibility conditions.

The tour lasts approximately three hours. The group is limited to eight guests. Included are a Chinese-speaking local guide, transport, pickup and return at your accommodation, and historical and cultural background. No food or drinks are served. Guests should bring warm clothing for the season, a windproof outer layer, comfortable footwear, a camera or smartphone, and personal medication if needed. A water bottle is optional. Folding wheelchairs can be carried if there is room, but the vehicle is not adapted for wheelchairs. The tour runs year-round, with dates listed from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2027.
