The Harbin Ice Festival
When you want a unique travel destination or you just want to try something new, the annual Harbin Snow and Ice World. The temperature in Harbin reaches 40 below zero, both Fahrenheit and Celsius, and stays below freezing for more than 6 months at times. Harbin is a city in China, close to the Russian border, 300 miles away from the dreadfully cold Vladivostok. The festival officially runs from January 5 through February 15 and features amazing snow and ice sculptures made by talented artists. All the artists start from the same ice cube that they will have to turn it into a work of art.

Looks fantastic, I guess we missed the festival dates this year though.

What could be more fun than drinking martinis and wondering ’round this place?
