Over my Christmas and New Years holiday, I traveled to northern China. Everyone kept warning me about how cold it was going to be, so I prepared by bringing heavy sweaters and jackets, and many layers. I have been to the snow many times, been snow camping, but nothing compared. It was beyond cold!! The coldest weather I have ever experienced.
We started our trip in Harbin, China. It is in northeastern China, almost at the Russian border. The weather was about -24 C which is about -12 F and that temperature was the high!! The main attraction in Harbin is the annual snow and ice festival.
