    There are several great pictures of an international snow and ice festival held in China this year. It seems a little odd to have a gigantic Santa Clause (not sure if there is a translation) in China, but the ice buildings with light are certainly beautiful. Here is a link

    A friend sent me pictures of the Snow and Ice Festival. It is truly amazing and incredibly beautiful. The snow was the artistry and the ice the architecture - I guess the ice would be more stable.

    but I must admit, as a native Californian (who has lived in snow and ice storms) I got cold just looking at it and enjoy the pictures more than I would the experience of being there.

    My daughter visited Harbin two years ago and said it was amazing. The pics she took were pretty incredible.
    Harbin took a definite negative, (it's climate) and turned it into a reason to visit.

    An interesting thing about the city is that it is so far north it had a lot of Russian influence. The pics she took of the city showed a building with the 'onion' dome of Russian architecture and the street view I saw looked very European.
