Q: Can you share your Harbin Snow Festival visit?
When was it? What can you say?

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).
