Harbin Ice and Snow Festival

The Harbin Ice and Snow Festival is an annual thematic winter festival held in Harbin, China, and is the world's largest ice and snow festival. Every year, the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival transports tourists to a whole new wintry realm of ice and snow. The city's northeastern position in China provides for naturally plentiful ice and snow, earning it the moniker "Ice City."

Harbin is not only known as China's ice capital, but it is also known for its extraordinarily beautiful ice and snow sculptures. The Ice Lantern Festival precedes the Ice and Snow Festival. Nonetheless, the Ice and Snow Festival remains the country's most popular ice event, as well as one of the top winter events in the world.
