December 2013. From the tropical far south of China to the frozen far north, a temperature difference of around 50C in winter! The Harbin International Snow and Ice Festival starts in early January. In 2014, the festival celebrated its 50th birthday and was bigger than ever. See the snow sculptures by day and the ice lantern structures by night. A winter wonderland :) Runs to the end of February (approximately, weather dependent).
