Randy W Posted February 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 in the Guardian Harbin ice and snow sculpture festival – in pictures The Harbin international ice and snow sculpture festival consists of three theme parks: Sun Island international snow sculpture art expo, Harbin ice and snow world and Zhaolin Park ice lantern fair. The festival has been held since 1963. It was interrupted for a number of years during the Cultural Revolution but resumed in 1985 This article pretty well explains why we probably won't make it - I don't think I've EVER seen temperatures below 0°F. Colorado was one of my favorite vacation spots, but not during Nov - Feb. in the SCMP At China’s Harbin Ice Festival, you soon learn what cold is – but go prepared, and marvel at sights you won’t find anywhere else Nothing prepares the unwary visitor for what minus 30 Celsius feels like, but take the right clothes – or do some rapid shopping – and the sights at northern Chinese city’s Ice and Snow World and International Snow Sculpture Art Expo are unforgettable It takes all of three seconds for the bravado to disappear, for the harsh truth of what minus 30 degrees Celsius (minus 22 degrees Fahrenheit) feels like to sink in. It’s real. It’s horrible. It hurts. Not enough to stop taking selfies, of course. Constantly removing two pairs of gloves to take pictures of one frigid marvel after another during a fleeting visit to the annual Harbin Ice Festival, in northeast China’s Heilongjiang province, means your hands never get a chance to warm up. Soon, they stop working altogether, a pair of frozen KitKats that can snap off at any moment. Such is the visual magnificence of Harbin’s biggest tourist drawcard. Link to comment
