Harbin Ice and Snow World

If you want to see a city built entirely from ice, visit Harbin Ice and Snow World! This is one of the largest ice festivals in the world, held annually during winter in Harbin, China.

Highlights
🧊 Ice sculptures of famous landmarks from various countries around the world, including Thailand's royal palace and other intricate carvings.
🛷 Ice slides that are both long and tall, offering fun for both kids and adults.
🎭 Light and sound shows with music and performances happening almost all day.

Tips
🌡️ The weather is extremely cold (temperatures can drop below -20°C on some days). Be sure to prepare warm clothing, gloves, socks, and shoes as it can be quite chilly inside.
🍢 There are buildings scattered around where you can warm up, such as Building A, which houses restaurants like KFC and other eateries, as well as play areas for kids to relax and escape the cold.
📸 Every corner is a perfect photo spot, both during the day and at night. You might need more than 3 hours to explore as the area is quite large with many zones.

🎟️ Entry fee is around 300 yuan per person (we don’t remember the exact price, but it’s approximately this amount). Tickets can be purchased on-site or booked via Trip.com. Booking through Trip.com is recommended as the on-site ticket lines can be quite crowded.
⏰: 10:00 AM - 9:30 PM
📆: The festival is held from mid-December to February, depending on the year.

If you want to see stunning ice sculptures, this is the place to be! 🧊✨
