China's Ice City

Ever imagined living in a city made of ice? If you have, this could be just the place to make your dream a reality.

The 30th Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival had opened in China and runs from December to February.

The festival is held in the northern city of Harbin, the capital and largest city of the Heilongjiang Province in Northeast China. With over 7000 sculptors, it is China's most popular winter attraction and the largest snow and ice festival in the world. 

The Shangri-La Hotel operates a bar and hot pot restaurant within the Ice Palace – temperatures inside are kept at a chilly minus 10 degrees.

The amazing designs and colour displays attract crowds from not just China but worldwide, in it's last two years it attracted 28.5 million visitors.
