Day and Night at the Harbin Ice Festival
Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang province of People’s Republic of China, is one of the premier sources of ice and snow culture in the world. It is located in Northeast China under the direct influence of the cold winter wind from Siberia. The Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival begins in January and lasts one month. The ice sculptures are decorated with everything from lasers to traditional ice lanterns. Winter activities include Yabuli alpine skiing, winter swimming in the Songhua River, and the ice-lantern exhibition in Zhaolin Garden. The snow carving and ice and snow recreations are world-famous. The Harbin Festival is one of the world’s four largest ice and snow festivals, along with Japan’s Sapporo Snow Festival, Canada’s Quebec City Winter Carnival, and Norway’s Ski Festival.

The ice sculptures in this video are amazing. I wonder how long it takes to make something that detailed.
