Cold. Very, very cold. But very, very worth it.

The sculptures are fantastic, I really had a great time there and met a lot of really nice people. If you have the chance to go, I would recommend it. Just dress warmly.

Cold. Very very cold.... At 6pm, it was -20degrees... and it got colder. Cold enough to stop the batteries in the camera to work til you warm them up again.

As John said, yeah it's great! Sculptures you can walk through, slide down, and stare up at.

It was recommended to me (after I went :( ), that it's best to go about 4pm, so you get to see the Snow part of the exhibition in all its glory, and then you just hang on round (well, you'd stay that long anyway), and enjoy the Ice part of the exhibition in its glory... (because, the lack of light takes away from fully enjoying the snow sculptures, while the ice sculputures have lots of lights around - and in - them).

Answer of the DayMORE >>

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
