The inhabitants of Harbin are organizing each year a competition named „Snow Ice Festival”. The temperatures in Harbin are often enough to minus 40°C and remain over a half year under the freezing point. This city is appropriate for approx. 450 km in Chinese Manchuria, northwest from Vladivostok in Siberia. Here one can converse in the winter best by a “open air festival”!
