Harbin Ice Festival: See the amazing ice kingdom in China
- Published

The annual Harbin Ice and Snow Festival opens in late December and lasts for around two months, until late February of the next year.

It has all sorts of amazing structures and sculptures make entirely from ice - some of which people can even go inside.

If you've ever wondered what Elsa's ice palace might look like in real life, this sculpture can help to give you a bit of an idea with ice turrets, a castle and even trees.

At night the structures are lit up with brightly coloured lights so tourists can get a whole other experience after dark.

If visitors come soon after the festival opens they can have the chance to see how the sculptures are being carved and made.

Because it is so popular, it can be almost impossible to take photos of the charming ice buildings without any visitors getting in the way.

Many visitors spend several hours wandering around the huge array of ice sculptures - and it would be a shame to miss all the fireworks!
