visiting China's ice festival ❄️🧊 -27 degrees the coldest place I have ever been! | Harbin vlog 2024

the world's largest ice & snow festival takes place in the northeastern city of Harbin, in Heilongjiang province, China. as someone who has intentionally escaped the European winter for the past three years, you wouldn't expect me to purposefully travel to somewhere that is -27 degrees. but I did, and it was amazing!! I didn't film nearly as much as I wanted to due to how cold it was and needing to save my battery, but hopefully this gives a glimpse into what day 1 of exploring was like 🥶❄️🧊

Welcome to my hometown! I’m so glad you visited there and film the video to show our heritage to the world. To be honest, I was born and raised in Harbin, I only went the ice and snow festival 2-3 times, because it’s too cold!!!😂 I must say the way you wear by layers is really helpful!
