Harbin Trip: Harbin Ice Festival !!!


The ice and snow world is (哈尔滨) Harbin's greatest attraction. It is first set-up by the Harbin Government in 1999, it is the largest ice and snow art exhibition in the world. Furthermore, all the ice carvings are changing every year and melt naturally during summer just like the ice hotel in kiruna.

January is the best time to go harbin as almost all the ice and snow carvings are completed. However, i dont feel like celebrating my CNY in other country so i decided to visit Harbin on the late of Dec. Well....Although some of the ice and snow carvings havent completed but i am shocked when i saw the ice and snow carvings. It is much prettier than the ice hotel that i saw in kiruna as there is only ice hotel and ice church in kiruna. In harbin, u will be amazed by the magnificent ice buildings such as ice Church, ice Temple, Ice Disneyland and even an ice Castle!!!! Furthermore, the multicolored lights set underground the ice carvings illuminate the sculptures revealing a whole new colorful dimension to the exhibits which is u cant see in kiruna.
It is really hard to take photo at a temperature of -20 C so i only manage to take some nice photo. Others all spoil already due to my shivering Hand in such a cold weather.
