2. Starting in northeast China, we visit Harbin. Harbin has long, frigid winters which help with its famous festival. Can you name the annual Harbin festival?
From Quiz Famous Chinese Landmarks
Answer:
International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival
The festival generally occurs throughout January and February, although some attractions may be built as early as December. One section includes buildings constructed from blocks of ice carved from the Songhau River. It can be quite cold, with an average winter temperature of -16.8°C, so pack your down jacket and thick boots! The festival began in 1963, initially solely with Chinese participants, but as the name implies it has expanded to include international competitors. The event is popular, with about 18 million visitors. Activities include ice lantern shows, fireworks, skiing, and even swimming in the Songhau!
All of the incorrect choices are actual events elsewhere in the world - Winterlude is in Ottawa, Frozen Dead Guys Day is in Colorado, and there are many Winter Lantern festivals.
