近期， “南方小土豆”带火东北冰雪游。1月5日，第40届中国·哈尔滨国际冰雪节也如约而至，“冰城”人迎来独有的公休日。作为我国最北省会城市，以高寒为气候特质的哈尔滨，一度成为当下社交媒体上最热的文化符号之一。
Harbin has the world's largest and most spectacular ice and snow festival.
It is bitter cold, but the artistic snow and ice sculptures will wow you.
Some sculptures are life-size others are gigantic monuments.
The snow and ice sculptures are majestic during the day, but wait until it gets dark.
The illuminated ice sculptures, some of them even have animated lights, are some of the most impressive and gorgeous man-made monuments on the planet.
Enjoying the ice wonderland is one of the essential things to do while traveling in Harbin, especially when traveling with children.
The opening ceremony of the Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival is on January 5 and the festival lasts till late February.
Exhibits often open earlier, usually one or two days before Christmas.
The Sun Island and the Ice and Snow World are must-go places to enjoy the International Ice and Snow Festival.
For children, a series of cartoon characters brighten up the International Ice and Snow Festival still further, making it like a Disney World on ice.
