Wow, look at some of those huge snow scultures! They are just amazing and beautiful works of art in snow and ice! :clap:

I'd love to go see these! :yes:

Ice sculptures always impress, but those take it to a whole new level. I've never seen or heard of ice sculptures that large and detailed. The artists involved there have some real talent and dedication to their craft.

I live in China! Not in Harbin, but I have a lot of friends there. Nice to see a post about things over in this hemisphere. China is one of the most randomly colorful places you could ever be. I guess that's true of most of Asia.

Hello coloradorockies, and welcome to The Fringes Of Algo! :)

Glad you enjoyed the story above. Here at The Fringes we have members from various places all over the world so you will probably see stories and posts relating to many different parts of the world from time to time, including China, etc. :yes:

Also, just curious, but I noticed you have "Colorado" listed as your location, and in the post above say you live in China, so do you do a lot of traveling back and forth? What do you like best about each place? :)
