Harbin's Winter: A Romance

If asked about the most famous place in Northeast China, the answer would surely be Harbin, the Ice City of the North.

There are many places where it snows, but only Harbin has a fairytale atmosphere.

European-style churches, candied hawthorns, ice-carved castles... it's like a Danish fairy tale come to life.

Especially after a heavy snowfall, Harbin seems to have been infused with half the soul of Moscow.

Endless falling snow, vast stretches of ice, the bells of old churches, the bustling atmosphere of people queuing for candied hawthorns and ice cream...

The Ice City is the lifelong love of so many.
