Snow & Ice Festival — Harbin, China

-

China is the host of the World’s largest ice festival. With ice sculptures that can be as tall as 20 feet or even higher, tourists are guaranteed to have a great time. Visitors will be amazed by the exquisite work of the artists who have sculpted entire castles out of ice blocks. Officially, the festival starts on 5 January, and it lasts one month.
However, there are plenty of exhibitions and events that start earlier and offer tourists spectacular art pieces. I definitely suggest you visit Harbin Ice Festival and explore the ice sculptures during the night time if you have the opportunity to do so. You will be able to see a beautiful winter scenery with snowy castles and large ice figures, so astonishing that it is hard to believe that you are not watching Frozen.
