Harbin – China’s Ice City (Part One) Posted by on Mar 31, 2013 in Culture

Usually when people take a vacation, they opt for some place tropical. Sunshine, relaxing on the beach, and swimming in the sea are the preferred activities. Earlier this year, we chose instead to take a short trip to one of the coldest places in China – Harbin. The “Ice City” plays host to a massive Ice and Snow Festival every year, making it a winter wonderland in the truest sense. Tour this famous city, which has a strong Russian influence, in part one of a new video series here:
