Harbin is the capital and largest city of Heilongjiang province in the northeastern region of the People's Republic of China. Holding sub-provincial administrative status, Harbin has direct jurisdiction over nine metropolitan districts, two county-level cities and seven counties. Harbin is the eighth most populous Chinese city and the most populous city in Northeast China. According to the 2010 census, the built-up area made of seven out of nine urban districts (all but Shuangcheng and Acheng not urbanized yet) had 5,282,093 inhabitants, while the total population of the sub-provincial city was up to 10,635,971.
Founded in 1898 with the coming of the Chinese Eastern Railway, the city first prospered as a region inhabited by an overwhelming majority of the immigrants from the Russian Empire.
Having the most bitterly cold winters among major Chinese cities, Harbin is heralded as the Ice City for its well-known winter tourism and recreations. Harbin is notable for its beautiful ice sculpture festival in the winter. Besides being well known for its historical Russian legacy, the city serves as an important gateway in Sino-Russian trade today, containing a sizable population of Russian diaspora. In the 1920s, the city was considered China's fashion capital since new designs from Paris and Moscow reached here first before arriving in Shanghai. The city has been voted China Top Tourist City by China National Tourism Administration in 2004. On 22 June 2010, Harbin was appointed a City of Music by the UN.
Winter culture in Harbin/China:
Located in northern Northeast China, Harbin is the northernmost among major cities in China. Under the direct influence of the Siberian Anticyclone, the average daily temperature is −19.7 °C (−3.5 °F) in winter. Annual low temperatures below −35.0 °C (−31.0 °F) are not uncommon. Nicknamed Ice City due to its freezing cold winter, Harbin is decorated by various styles of Ice and snow Sculptures from December to March every year.
The annual Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival has been held since 1985. Although the official start date is 5 January each year, in practice, many of the sculptures can be seen before. While there are ice sculptures throughout the city, there are two main exhibition areas: enormous snow sculptures at Sun Island (Taiyang Dao, a AAAAA-rated recreational area on the opposite side of the Songhua River from the city) and the separate Ice and Snow World that operates each night with lights switched on, illuminating the sculptures from both inside and outside. Ice and Snow World features illuminated full-size buildings made from blocks of 2–3 feet thick crystal clear ice directly taken from the Songhua River which passes through the city. The sculptures inside the exhibition ground takes 15,000 workers to work for 16 days. In early December, ice artisans cut 120,000 cubic metres (4.2 million cubic feet) of ice blocks from Songhua river's frozen surface as raw materials for the ice sculptures' show. Massive ice buildings, large-scale snow sculptures, ice slides, festival food and drinks can also be found in several parks and major avenues in the city. Winter activities in the festival include Yabuli Alpine Skiing, snow mobile driving, winter-swimming in Songhua River, and the traditional ice-lantern exhibition in Zhaolin Garden, which was first held in 1963. Snow carving and ice and snow recreations are famous nationwide, especially among Asian countries including Korea, Japan, Thailand and Singapore.
The Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival is one of the four largest ice and snow festivals in the world, along with Japan's Sapporo Snow Festival, Canada's Quebec City Winter Carnival, and Norway's Holmenkollen Ski Festival.
Every November, the city of Harbin sends teams of ice artisans to the United States to promote their unique art form. It takes more than 100 artisans to create ICE!, the annual display of indoor Christmas-themed ice carvings in National Harbor, Maryland; Nashville, Tennessee; Kissimmee, Florida; and Grapevine, Texas.Wikipedia

STORYLINE:
Fanciful ice sculptures of all shapes and sizes have transformed one of China's northern-most cities into a winter wonderland.
Harbin city in China's Heilongjiang province is known for its subarctic climate.
Temperatures here can plummet to -30 degrees centigrade (-22 degrees fahrenheit) in January under the howling Siberian gales.
Situated on the Songhua river, the city has survived occupation by both Japan and Russia and still boasts architectural gems from the Russian era.
But Harbin really comes into its own when artisans gather for the annual Ice Lantern Festival.
From January 5 to February 14 ice sculptures in the shape of animals and people line the streets.
The festival takes place in several locations around the city but the largest display of sculpted ice and snow was this year located on the north bank of the Songhua River.
Eighty-thousand cubic metres of ice and 120-thousand cubic metres of snow were used to create the frozen fantasy land, which spans an area of roughly 300-thousand square metres.
The centrepiece of the ice and snow festival city was a full-scale replica of Beijing's millennium altar.
Foreign diplomats were invited by the local government to join in the celebrations.
Though most found it challenging to brave the weather, all seemed impressed by what they saw.
At night the sculptures were illuminated from the inside with coloured lights.
Another feature of the festival was the Ice lantern artistic show which is held in Zhaolin Park.
This year also saw the 16th International Ice Sculpting Competition take place in Harbin.

STORYLINE:
Thousands of visitors flocked to the ice world in northeastern China, as the city of Harbin kicked off its annual Ice Festival on Thursday night.
The event, now in its 28th year, pulls crowds from across China and even a few visitors from overseas.
They travel to the city in China's Heilongjiang Province to see ice versions of Chinese structures and some other world famous buildings that have multi-coloured lights encased in the translucent ice.
Thursday night's opening ceremony featured an impressive fireworks display, lighting up the sky above the festival's main site on Sun Island alongside the frozen Songhua River running to the north of Harbin, a metropolis as far north as Toronto that styles itself as China's ice city.
Harbin resident Chen Mengyao came to the ice world park with friends to have fun but she sees the festival as an important event that brings people to the city and firmly puts Harbin on the map.
I think more and more people are coming here for the ice festival; this is a chance for them to know more about Harbin and then like the city of Harbin, Chen said.
Among the tourists, many have travelled long distances to be there.
Malaysian engineer Clemend Sdenly came with colleagues for the ice buildings and enjoyed his different experience in Harbin.
In Malaysia, we can't get this so we want to enjoy and get a new experience of the, you know the winter.
After the lavish opening firework display, an outdoor performance depicting guerrillas fighting during a cold winter around Harbin more than 50 years ago was also provided for tourists.
This year's Harbin Ice Festival, which takes place in various locations around the city, includes a snow sculpture expo and an ice lantern garden party, as well as an ice swimming contest and an ice sculpting competition.
The festival runs until the snow melts, which organisers say is usually in late February.
The Harbin festival is one of the four largest snow and ice festivals in the world, along with Japan's Sapporo Snow Festival, Norway's Ski Festival, and Canada's Quebec City Winter Carnival.
Organisers claim that more than thirty thousand tourists will visit the ice world on its opening day.
