Participated Cities：Harbin

Exquisitehistory and geographical location contribute to the exotic beauty of Harbin and it is known as the "Oriental Moscow." Perhaps 90% of people come to Harbin for its captivating ice and snow duringwinter at Zhaolin Park Ice Garden Party, Ice and Snow World, Sun Island Snow Sculpture and so on;when the whole city is shrouded in snow and ice and is set off in bright colors, there is not an exaggeration when describing it as a pure and noble world. But the beauty of Harbin does not lie in ice and snow, and you may also go to see pigeons flying from Sophia Cathedral, or getting to the Central Avenue finding somewhat Russian-styled restaurants to enjoy fine food; on Oktoberfest carnival in the summer, you just go to the old Laodaowaisao Street to look at small Baroque Western-style buildings, which is just comfortable.
Finally, you must go to have a look at the Songhuajiang River. Whether for the setting sun shining on the sparkling lake in summer, or skating or swimming in the winter, the beautiful Songhuajiang River still winds through the city and washes away the excessive magnificence of this century-long ice city. Under the night sky, Harbin seems as if the citytalks about her dream-like past and present life.
