Harbin

This past weekend David and I took a short trip to Harbin. Harbin is in the north of China, about 2.5 hours from Shanghai to be exact. It gets very cold there. At times it can be somewhere between 0 and -15 degrees. Upon hearing this you may be thinking why in the world would anyone in their right mind voluntarily go to a place that cold? The big draw of Harbin is their annual snow and ice festival. Artists from around the world come to China and compete in ice and snow sculpting competitions. I have never seen such amazing sculptures, especially those made out of snow and ice. If you ever come to China in the winter Harbin is something not to be missed.
