Harbin, Heilongjiang
With its arctic climate and abundant ice and snow, Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang Province, is known as China's "Ice City". The world-famous Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival, established in 1963, 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. Starting on Jan. 5th each year, the festival lasts for a month. During that time, exquisite ice sculptures are decorated with colorful ice lanterns; and winter sports competitions attract thousands of visitors.
