Harbin Ice Festival

Harbin Ice Festival

There is a famous ice festival like the Quebec Winter Carnival in Harbin.

Harbin Ice Festival is an annual event held in Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang Province. Usually falling on January 5 and lasting a month, the festival exerts a strong draw on both local residents and visitors.

I am looking forward to this special event very much.

"The city of Harbin lies in the center of Manchuria, and embraces its frozen winters by holding an ice festival each year, as it has for the past 27 years. The result? A million visitors a year. An economic boom in the center of a rust belt. And some of the neatest ice sculptures, snow carvings, and hair-raising slides anywhere."-Real Trip Report by Fritz Galt
