- Our first time in Harbin, China! We came for the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival 2024!
Harbin is also known as China's ice city. It is the number one tourist destination in China at the moment. We did not expect this in China, but Harbin blew our minds completely! How did China build this "ice city"? It was so impressive and spectacular.
China is always one step ahead of the world. We have never even seen this kind of event in Canada. They don't only display ice sculptures, but they have massive ice architectures. Including what look like castles and temples. There are many cold weather and ice activities such as sliding and tubing. We were so happy to be here as Harbin has been viral on social media. Check out our vlog in Harbin, China!

it's crazy that I spent a whole day there and still see places in this video that I haven't seen. that shows how huge it is!
No worry, same for Chinese, u r not the only one. It's just way too big！😂and lack of direction signs😢
You missed the concert!!!
Willkommen in China, Ken. I am also your big fan.
Ken!!!
Catch Ken again 😊
THIS is where the live-action movie FROZEN should be filming! So amazing!

我也想这么说，只不过女主角招不到😂
以前就有过这种主题。
Totally!
@@tomoscar3210哈尔滨这个冰雪大世界有几十年历史了。我15年前去过1次。今年是史上最大的。
The structure of the Ice Bar is not concrete. It's a technique attempted by the Harbin Institute of Technology for China's lunar base, constructed using a membrane structure, then strengthened and thickened using dust. Here, snow is utilized; in the future, lunar soil will be used on the moon. It can be quickly assembled to form a space that provides protection and maintains temperature. Most of the 'buildings' in the Ice and Snow World are temporary; as the weather warms, they will melt and disappear. So, what you're seeing this time is a unique experience! Love your video！
A few years ago the BBC produced a documentary about how it was built. According to the introduction, the roof of the bar is made of water and paper pulp, sprayed layer by layer, and solidified. Once spring arrives, the roof will melt and no removal is required.
这么牛逼吗 厉害了
I'm just from HIT School of Architecture😂
Thanks for the explanation!
Great! I've never been in the winter, I'm a bit scared of the cold. In the summer, it's an awesome place too but obviously, winter in Harbin is something else! Glad you enjoy travelling in China. It's been my home for 16 years now.
Hh Stu u’re here

当外国朋友们放下偏见来到这里，会发觉这个国家跟其他国家地区没有什么差别，我是指这里的人们跟世界其他国家的人们一样想拥有更好的生活并一直在努力，仅此而已，如果因为这个国家不是西式民主体制就成了一种原罪而否定这里的一切，带着这样的偏见看待中国的只能证明这些人的傲慢，亦缺乏理性与常识。
新加坡也不是”民主体制“，中东产油国也不是”民主体制“，我也质疑日本不是真正的”民主体制“，问题不在于是不是”民主体制“，在于这个国家是不是可能在经济、技术、政治、军事上超越那个邪恶帝国，这才是问题的答案！
还是在宣传战线上打不过欧美国家啊,别人或多或少的抹黑你,我们的声音还是不够大
@@olafxue3476 那是因为人家发展的早，控制了发声媒体，而不是我们的声音不够大！
台湾不是中国FYI
@@user-jg1fw6bj8q是的，暂时没有主动权
謝謝你向世人介紹美麗又進步的中國❤❤❤，支持你😊😊😊
I used to live in Harbin for 3 years before we moved to UK, the ice festival wasn’t as popular as it is now especially this year, the most popular place to be in China atm, it is just breath taking, once a life time experience 😊
We sold everything and moved back to Beijing last year and I am so happy, it is dream come true, hope you guys having awesome time in China 🧨🧧
你居住的三年因为中国施行严格的疫情管控，所以去这个冰雪大世界的人只限于本地人。今年是疫情管控后放开的第一个冬季假期，所以出来旅游的人特别多😅
你看懂英文没有？她又没说是疫情那三年。。。她只是说过去在哈尔滨生活过3年。。。@@wangalice2357
The beer in the ice bar costed under US$6, cheaper than a regular bar in the US, and no tips needed 👍
LOL Same like Canada
中国没有小费。
there are no tips in china
Damn this is amazing! Chinese ingenuity at its finest ❤
Wow China is full of surprises this is definitely on my bucket list
In 5-10 years time, China will be no:1 tourist place to go‼️. So much to see and China has so much to offer and it's Hugh ‼️
so true, China should really develop its tourism industry, so much to see...
That’s going to be crazy! It’s already very busy with local tourists.
never gonna happen, do you even know that china is not a recommended destination for many western countries, and it's only getting worse
95% of the scenic spots in Europe and the United States can be found in China
@@wlee3400it is
Don't let S Koreans see and copy this, or else they will start applying it to UNESCO as World Cultural Heritage from South Korea. 😂😂😂😂😂
+1🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, recently South Korea has stolen China’s spicy hotpot and candied haws food culture again！😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
You know them😂
So glad someone said something. They are constantly co-opting other people's stuff and presenting it as their own.
Wow, oh wow, Steve lvana, thanks a bunch for showcasing this mind blowing Harbin Ice and Snow Festival to us. These super duper beautiful ice cravings showed how creative the sculptors were. And those colourful lightings were indeed amazing. Oh gosh, those ice activities were so fun and entertaining. Oh CHINA, you are truly great, magnificent, wonderful and splendid. What a way you both spread positive vibes about China !!! Xie xie, Stevanna ❤
To be honest, as a Chinese person, I have never visited these places. It is through your videos that I have come to know about this tourist spot.
oh wow, how is it possible that you know nothing about this? don't you read news or watch douyin?
fun fact 135million ppl visited Harbin 2023, that means almost 10% of chinese population😂 income revenue 170 billion yuan. china indeed has a huge domestic market and can survive well without foreign tourism 😮
Is it real that 135 million people visited? That's 3x Canada LOL
@@JetLagWarriorsYes, official news. 2.5X of last year.
@@JetLagWarriorssuprised by the number? wait till you get to know about ChunYun, meaning the total migration population thru transport during the 40 days CNY period. estimated number this year is 9billion. You will get a slight experience of it in Xi'An! 😂😂
@@JetLagWarriors 还没到旅游的时间呢！等春节结束后更多人去旅游。
@JetLagWarriors如果你不去西安，不要跟你朋友说你来过中国 😅
China is so advanced . They are so creative and innovative . Amazing ice sculpture . Awesome ..I'm so impressed . Thanks for sharing the beautiful Harbin.💖
Fun fact: Most Northeast cities in China have similar ice sculptures on Lantern Festival. The Harbin Ice Festival is the biggest, and it lasts longer.
China is very beautiful.. love from Malaysia
China can offer what you can not imagine. China cover all kinds of things more than rest of world combined. You currently travel 1% of China.
柏脾们内心又不服
0.001%😅
China offers a lot, indeed, but not even close to the rest world, not even Asia offers more.
@@JalomMatia承认别人优秀那么难嘛？😂😂
他應該不會中文
I am just so impressed to see how innovative, creative, and original are the Chinese are in their entertainment be it in winter sports, winter games, ice fishing, ice sculpture, ice architecture! Not to mention the evening light shows! Wow! So so fun! Bravo. Lucky tourists! Enjoy!
amazing place, but all of those things have been around for awhile.
Show my grateful to any foreigner who can report CHINA objective and fair. I really feel disguising about west media and politician and those CHINA haters who never been to CHINA.
CHINA is beautiful country.
Chinese people are friendly and kind.
Chinese government is the most efficient government.
I feel like Steve didn't stop laughing when he is not speaking😂so glad to see u had fun. Hope Ivana didn't fall hard😢😢btw That pink sunset is incredible！！thank u for sharing the great views！❤❤❤
you are in Harbin, don’t miss the Unit 731 site!!! Worth to know!
This site will appear in our next vlog.
@@JetLagWarriors looking forward to seeing it
@@JetLagWarriors❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍
👍👍@@JetLagWarriors
@@JetLagWarriorsLove you guys!
It is amazing, every year they build different structures.
明年会做更大哦。
Wow! This is awesome! Amazing! Out of this world! Thanks to Steve and Ivana for bringing Harbin to us! Enjoy! 😀😃😄
Wow, the most incredible ice world i've ever seen😮
This place is my bucket list, enjoy guys. Magnificent.
Unbelievable! ❄ Harbin Ice Festival is a winter wonderland! Loved the ice sculptures and your adventure. 😍
The game at 4:51 is called "打陀螺(da tuo luo)" or "打冰尜(da bing ga)". Although the word "陀螺" first showed up in literature from Ming dynasty (1368 - 1644), the game itself was believed to gain its popularity since Northern Wei dynasty (386 - 534) under a different name "独乐(du le)". It's a traditional game played in winter and spring and it's not unusual for people to make their own spinning tops.
我的天，这个字我都没见过
@@gart5563 也可以写成“打冰嘎”，很多词在使用中会被同音字渐渐替代。
WOW, the ice city is coming straight out of the best fantasy movie, 10 times better than Frozen .😍
Barrett was here not long ago. So was ken Abroad. Now Jet lag Warriors. China shoild thank you guys for All the free promos!
this is not a surprising thing, because the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival is very popular in China now, lots of Chinese people go there. So, the foreign tourists want to go there and see is very reasonable.
Apparently, EVERY one is a PAID actor by the CCP..🙄😂
wow.....the amount of work to build all these structure.
hhhh……Chinese are good at huge constraction projects，like the great wall.
Beware of the South Koreans. They contacted the Harbin ice-sculpture masters and entice the team to do the same thing there! Once the Koreans learned the skills they will apply for UNESCO. Sichuan Zi-Gong lantern festival which was originated from the Tang dynasty, was conned by South Korea where skills were imparted to the Koreans from 2002. After 18 years South Korean applied for UNESCO heritage with minor name changed and got it.
他們太自卑，唯有用不擇手段來奪取人家光彩，他們連李時珍都說成是韓國人，參加世界賽事毫無體育精神，專用爛招，無他，不能用我們的仁義道德去衡量。
Thief Country
Happy Chinese new year🧨🎆and wish you have a great time in China!!!
I remember you recently asking where you should go in China and I suggested the Harbin Ice Festival (along with many others). I can't believe you actually went. You guys are amazing.
Truly one of the most amazing places in China. Thanks for the tour!! More please!!❤
Fun fact. Participants from other countries used to join the ice sculpture competition. (Not sure if it is still the same). Years ago, a team from Malysia, where there is no winter, won. How? Apparently, those guys worked in the hotel industry where they do ice sculptures for big gala dinner. 😂😂😂
😂
大馬華人是自己人😊
China never ceases to surprise and amaze!
What a unique place... ❤❤❤
The ice bar...
IS REAL!!!
A REAL ICE BAR!!!!
是😊玻璃
冰的。@@tgag88

从松花江中切割取来的冰块。
👍Love your Harbin footage! Ivana looks so cute and Steve ‘s joy with wonderment in laughter! So vey heart warming!👏👏👏❤
By the way on the bright side even with the crowds in the recent years China had developed bigger and much nicer transportation hubs. It’s more modern and organized with a lot better crowd control. Also advantage of travelling from Harbin to Xian may be less crowded than travelling from big cities of Beijing & Shanghai to other provinces.
China is vast , beautiful and has its uniqueness in different regions! It also can stretch your dollars.
It’s one of the safest country to travel even when u r a female solo traveller. Chinese had instilled in its culture of being hospitable.
Once it got discovered, I don’t think it will take too long for the savvy travellers gravitating to China. Especially with the seemingly recent visa free 144 hr visit encouraging visits from abroad.
Wow, it’s great to see you visiting many big cities. I can’t wait to see you visit some natural scenery. The natural scenery in China is absolutely beautiful.
this is the best scenery video i've watched from your channel.
Some of our drone shots don't even look real... lol amazing
As for ice building, they cut the ice blocks, and they use water to join the blocks together. The water freezes n solidify, joining the blocks together.
That’s why Chinese ppl always feel bored when they go abroad, so much recreation and entertainment in China while some westerners keep asking you is there shopping mall/highway/electricity….in China?
Come to Canada Ontario, whats good to see? Niagara Falls, prob CN Tower, maybe some parks, other than that, don't know what to recomend.......
@@_seola_ exactly, I used to lived in Ontario.
Never knew something like this existed. I knew there were ice sculptures, but I never imagined this scope!
I have to agree...AMAZING!! Seeing so much of the world through your videos. Keep safe, happy and healthy.
乐观开朗积极向上的人才会收获旅行的乐趣和意义 而你们就是这样的人！
Arh..ha...I feel the happiness from your heart ❤. By watching Steve and Ivan's expression and smiling faces at every moment. 😀😘
So happy, I also enjoyed this Harbin trip with both of you 👍✨🥰
Harbin is actually my hometown and I’m so glad u guys had a nice experience there!! And thank u for showing the world of harbin and China ❤❤❤ and really hope u guys enjoy the trip!!
Now you should understand why people walk like penguins, right
B站来的 这对夫妇太可爱了❤ 感谢你们让西方看见没有虚假抹黑下的中国
"Look at Ivana, tomato soup, and a white shirt."
He is a keeper, Ivana.
The roof of the ice bar is made of snow and is rebuilt every year.

Wow! ice sculptures best in the world. Thank you for sharing.
曾经与冰雪大世界擦身而过，看完短片还是非常值得一去
美丽的哈尔滨，美丽的冰雕
Love this vlog❤
The song in the background is called Hou Lai by Rene Liu. It was originally a Japanese song called lMiraie. It is a very famous song.
Wow wow wow!! Thank you for sharing this amazing ice festival video! Keep up with the good work! 👍👍👍👍
so beautiful
Place looks awesome.
Great video!!!👏👍I think I need to visit Harbin next year!
Wow the ice architecture is amazing, what an experience!
This would make a wild movie set for some Hollywood movies.
So beautiful Harbin.
OMG best Harbin video so far. So much fun and beautiful. Love those bikes 😂
I am looking forward to your video about Spring Festival.😊
"What an ice bar it is!" 🤣
Thanks for this video and for promoting my hometown!
China is home to many amazing cities but Harbin is truly unique in what it has to offer, with a fine blend of western and Manchurian Chinese culture that you can't possibly find elsewhere.
Also what many don't know is that Harbin is where the Jin Dynasty 金朝 originated. If you have a chance, you can check out the Jin Shangjin Historical Museum at the outskirt of Harbin and explore that history and artifacts. Have been abroad for 20 years and seen many nice museums over the years, yet I still remember the strong impression it left on me the first time I saw it as a kid.
Again, welcome, and enjoy your stay in Harbin!
My second time watching!! Eagerly waiting for more videos lol. Please be careful and Enjoy the Lunar New Year in China 🎉
💞xoxo💞
San 🩷
looks absolutely fun!!
You two should try Harbin's bathing service. It's very comfortable and not expensive. I wish you a happy time.🥰
Amazing ice and snow kingdom! So much fun stuff to do as well.
Enjoy your amazing video! They used to have the venue for dipping in the icy water. I guess it’s no longer there.
We do have it in CANADA
Ice hotel in Quebec city. They build a hotel each year. Zero concrete. Even the bed is ice and snow. They add fur.
We have a bar, the glasses are ice.
Less than 9h from Toronto!
#jetfam
I want to go there
wow this is just insane!
The grandiose view with the hot music makes me feel quite excited 👍👍👍
So much fun 🤩
Looks amazing.
There are many videos about winter in Harbin, but your videos are the most interesting
Don’t forget to go harbin opera house ❤, that is another amazing architecture you will see🎉
Love Harbin so much
So much fun just to watch your videos ❤
having lots of fun
Wow, amazing! Nice icy place!
A Malaysian team won 3rd place in the 2014 Ice Sculpture competition in Harbin, can you believe that? That was the first time I heard about Harbin 😂
Wow! Who knew there were Malaysian ice sculptors? Amazing!
@@JetLagWarriors ya, I was surprised too when I read the news 10 years ago.
@@JetLagWarriors I was wondering the same too. Those guys work in hotels or big restaurants where they do ice sculptures for big gala dinners. 😂😂😂
After that, Malaysians knew Harbin
dude,this is some other level.
feels like the ice bar is not concrete, when I visit 2 years ago they dont have it in ice festival yet, it just so cool
as Chinese in Toronto, love your video! thank you for sharing ice festival this year
3:07 so beautiful !! looks like a postcard.
Amazing ice sculptures, how can they carve such magnificent buildings.
You guys did an Amazing, fantastic travel in China. Wish I'm young enough to do the same 👌. Enjoying your video 👍
Here is a funny story. People in China said the best orthopedics doctors all over the country must be in Northeast of China. Because too many people fall down on the ice and break their bone in such a longtime winter.
It is the same in Europe, there in alpine skiing resorts
Just like the best colorectal hospital in Chengdu (for two reasons)
@@fj5563 逻辑满分
If you have time, you can go to my hometown Kashgar, Xinjiang to see what some media outlets call a place of genocide, but you will definitely see a different China
This place is so beautiful❤
I got the chance to visit Harbin's ice and snow festival last year, and it was incredible. It is a pleasure to have this experience. Thank you.
Truly amazing, I really really envy you guys.
13:09 The reason lines were so long is because the festival got unexpected popularities this year. The festival has been going on for years and this year it suddenly exploded on Chinese social media. Ten times of visitors just kept coming in and easily overloaded their capacity. I am sure they organizer will do improvment next year.
Simply unbelievable and breathtaking! 🥰
This place need to do a collaboration with Disney for a Frozen theme park 😂. Truly amazing and stunning.
