We jumped into ICE WATER in China’s HARBIN // -30°C

Harbin is one of the coldest cities in north-east China and famous for its yearly ice and snow festival. During winter time an enormous area of huge ice and snow sculptures is created and illuminated, making it a magnificent tourist attraction. We spent Chinese New Year 2023 in Harbin with an average temperature of -25 degrees. Originally prepared with 5 layers of heat-protection clothes, we decided to take them all off to dive into a swimming pool, carved into the ice of Harbin’s frozen Songhua River! Besides, we are not gonna miss out on tasty snacks. Especially recommended to try the ice cream here! So let’s check out all these crazy adventures together!If you want to see more about our journey in China, make sure to follow us on Instagram: / luc.anni

I am grateful to say that I had a smile on my face while watching your video. You are quite brave for engaging in winter swimming. It sounds like you had a wonderful trip to Harbin, which happens to be my favorite city. It brings back many lovely memories from my college days, when many romantic things happened. Unfortunately, the girl I was with went to Germany after graduation. Harbin is unique. ❤️
