What a clever idea, in a cold city, building skyscrapers that look like ice sculptures.

They should have held the winter games there instead of Beijing.

It's quite a large city for such a cold place.

Is it the coldest city on Earth?

All the fucking misinformation on this post already.

OP, every year Harbin has their ice festival with ice sculptures all over the city. It last for two months.

R3 It is near Russia and at one time was home to many Russians including White russians who lost the civil war and Jews.

R11 No, that is Sichuan.

So R18, are there a lot of white people in Harbin?

If you want to learn standard Mandarin, apparently Harbin is the best place to do it.

Did they lose the Jews in the Siberian desert?

Carrie Fisher loved Harbin. It was on her bucket list.

God, it's further north than Vladivostok.

No way.
