My Home City - guohua - 01-09-2017 Harbin, China, on the Border with Russia and just North of North Korea. The average winter temperature is Minus -14 degrees. So what is Harbin Famous for other than at one time being call, Manchuria, China? Quote:The Harbin International Snow and Ice Festival, famed for its gigantic illuminated sculptures, has officially kicked off in northern China.Source RE: My Home City - Mystic Wanderer - 01-09-2017 That's truly amazing! RE: My Home City - 1984hasarrived - 01-10-2017 Have always wanted to go there ever since I was first in China, but was put off when a friend went there fot the festival and got stuck there for two weeks due to the fact she could not get a ticket out, and was unable to leave. She spent two weeks in her hotel room huddled by the heater (this was nearly 30 years ago), and no doubt it is very different now. I dread to think what it is like there for CNY though RE: My Home City - guohua - 01-10-2017 (01-10-2017, 01:39 AM)1984hasarrived Wrote: Have always wanted to go there ever since I was first in China, but was put off when a friend went there fot the festival and got stuck there for two weeks due to the fact she could not get a ticket out, and was unable to leave. It is Crowded, wall to wall people, but Chinese are use to that. The transportation problem has been fixed, long agao, there are many trains and buses, plus there is the Harbin Airport you can actually fly on a commercial flight in and out, I do from Phoenix, Az, to Harbin, China on either United or China Air. RE: My Home City - BIAD - 01-10-2017 Absolutely amazing! Thanks G and as said above, I'd love to visit China too.
