The heroes and villains of Star Wars are unveiled at this incredible ice sculpture festival in Belgium
This freeze made of snow (pardon the pun) tells of a famous folk tale from Finland. It's part of the Snow World exhibition on Sun Island in Harbin, Heilongjiang in the north east of China. Harbin (哈尔滨), is the capital of the Heilongjiang Province in Northeast China. It lies on the southern bank of the Songhua River. Harbin is the tenth largest city in China, serving as a key political, economic, scientific, cultural and communications hub in Northeastern China. Harbin is originally a Manchu word meaning "a place for drying fishing nets". Harbin bears the nicknames "The Pearl on the swan's neck" because the shape of Heilongjiang resembles a swan, and "Ice City" for its long and cold winter. This city is most famous for its beautiful display of ice sculptures in winter and is known as China’s gateway to trade with Russia. In the 1920s, Harbin was considered China's fashion capital as new designs from Paris and Moscow reached there first before arriving in Shanghai. Harbin is also a potential candidate for the 2022 Winter Olympics. For more information about Harbin, please visit my website: www.abookaboutchina.com/cityguide/Harbin
