Sometime around the end of November, Harbin, a city in the northeastern part of China, turns into a snow-covered festival paradise practically overnight. Then snow and ice lovers pack their winter gear - insulated boots, jacket, gloves, layered clothing, thermal underwear, wool socks and hat - into their trolley suitcases. Once the annual Harbin International Ice & Snow Festival opens, they will jump on a flight or high-speed train and start their long-awaited winter tour! Harbin is such a wonderland to make the cold season fun and festive, so whether you are outdoors braving the chilly temperatures or indoors and safe from the cold, there are a variety of activities to keep you busy during this time. The Ice & Snow Festival is the city's highlight, but not the all! The 2024 Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival will occur from December 24, 2024, to February 20, 2025. The festival is held in Harbin, China, and is the world's largest ice and snow festival.
