Dear Li Ming
How is everything going? I heard that you are coming to Harbin this winner.
I am gald that we can get together soon. Here is some introduction, you can learn more about this city.
Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang Province, is a thriving industrial center in northeastern
China. Nicknamed “Ice City”, it attracts both local residents, as well
as visitors from around China and abroad, for its International Ice and
Snow Festival held annually from January 5 to February 5. The highlight of the festival is an impressive artistic ice lantern
exhibition featuring ice and snow carvings displayed in Zhaolin Park
and on the frozen Songhua River.
The fanciful ice sculptures are crafted in the shapes of animals,
plants, buildings or legendary figures. Many world famous monuments
including cathedrals, the pyramids, the Potala Palace and the Great Wall
are meticulously carved out of ice, sometimes in spectacularly giant
sizes! Lots of the sculptures are illuminated from inside with colorful
lights and are especially stunning when seen at night.
Hope you can see it soon.
Yours,
Wang Lin
