The most magnificent activity in winter is the Ice-Lantern Exhibition, initiated in the 1960s by the people of Harbin city. With the natural ice from the Songhua River, they skillfully create various kinds of snow and ice carvings. When entering this world of ice carvings, especially at night, you feel you have entered a world of fairy tales. Each year, many foreigners pour into the city to enjoy the winter. With more than thirty years of development and improvement, the ice-lantern exhibition has become a social and cultural activity.
