Snow wonderlands in China

On December 12, heavy snow fell in Kanas Lake, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang, turning the popular tourist attraction into a white wonderland. Rime ice was seen on the trees, and the rooftops were covered in snow.
This year’s Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival is scheduled to kick off on December 24 and will last until February 28, 2019. Held since 1963, the most popular ice festival in China draws millions of tourists each year. Here’s a sneak peak at this year’s upcoming attractions:
