@LD27 – sounds a great trip, although I would never be able to persuade my wife to stay in an ice room! We stayed for 5 days in Harbin, NE China for the Ice Festival and although the temperatures were similar -20C to -30C it sounds very different as there while there’s deep snow on the ground and the big river is totally frozen so you can drive on it, it’s very dry so it doesn’t snow in peak winter, no ice forms on roads/pavements and aircraft don’t need de-icing and actually it’s blue skies much of the time.

My wife declined the offer of hotpot dinner in the ice rooms which felt a good decision after seeing others experiencing it! A fully stocked ice bar at our hotel with the traditional ice glass to smash after drinking was great as was the huge igloo bar at the Festival with local blueberry wine to warm one up.
