Found: China on Ice

China on Ice

With winter temperatures often dipping below minus 35 Celsius, and its proximity to Siberia, the Chinese city of Harbin in Heilongjiang Province is the perfect spot for the world’s largest ice and snow festival.
In true Chinese style, the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival goes above and beyond standard superlatives. Each January, a colossal city of actual-sized buildings and sculptures are built from ice, hauled from the nearby Songhua River. At night the whole thing is lit up in a son et lumière spectacle. Attracting 800,000 tourists per year, the festival lasts until the sculptures slowly melt back into the river in spring. I (ltv)
