Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival

The annual Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival been held since 1963. It had been interrupted for a number of years during the Cultural Revolution but had been resumed by 1985.

Harbin is located in Northeast China under the direct influence of the cold winter wind from Siberia. The average temperature in summer is 21.2 degrees Celsius, -16.8 degrees Celsius in winter. Annual low temperatures below -35C are not uncommon.

The Harbin festival is one of the world's four largest ice and snow festivals, along with Japan's Sapporo Snow Festival, Canada's Quebec City Winter Carnival, and Norway's Ski Festival.
