Get ready for major winter inspo! ❄️ Since December 7, Harbin crews have been busy harvesting crystal-clear 'tofu blocks' on the frozen Songhua River in Heilongjiang Province on the Chinese mainland. These huge ice slabs (up to 10,000 m³ daily!) are the building blocks of the 27th Harbin Ice-Snow World, the ultimate winter wonderland that turns into a glowing ice city 🌃✨.
Here's the lowdown:
- Operation runs for over a month, with around 1,000 workers per day 🛠️
- Cutting and stacking massive, transparent ice slabs for perfect sculpting 🧊
- Transforms into castles, slides, and stunning art installations 🏰
This year, the festival attracts visitors from across Asia for epic photo ops, snow adventures, and local street bites like spicy skewers and hot soy milk. Whether you're chasing thrills or cultural vibes, Harbin Ice-Snow World is the place to be 😉.
Plan your trip, bundle up, and dive into frosty fun!
