Marvel at China's wonder-packed, snow-frosted 'Ice City'
5th January

Dubbed 'Ice City', Harbin originated the Ice Festival in 1985 and offers visitors a dazzling array of illuminated ice-crafted lantern. Snow-frosted sculptures depict scenes from traditional Chinese fairytales while fairy-light twinkle around ice-carved lions, tigers and dragons - a striking winter spectacular in temperatures that can drop to -38 C(-36 F). Increasingly, modern technology plays a central role in many of Harbin's ice Festival collections such as multi-coloured lasers and atmospheric neon-lit artificial mists. Festival activities follow an ice-and-snow theme from Alpine skiing and toboggan racing to swimming in the Songhua River's freezing depths.
