A few days later in China the largest snow and ice sculpture festival starts. Several thousand artists from all over the world will take part in it. Several huge installations made of snow are already on display.
The official opening of the largest festival of Snow and Ice is scheduled for January 5 (The Harbin Ice and Snow Festival 2015), which annually takes place in the city of Harbin, China's Heilongjiang province. For the 31st time, people from different countries will gather in this place to see firsthand the real works of art made of snow and ice. The best artists in the world will present their work at the festival (last year the organizers of the event counted more than 7000 participants).
In addition to looking at the sculptures, guests of The Harbin Ice and Snow Festival 2015 will be able to take part in a number of events: skiing, ice skating, dog sledding, and winter swimming. In addition, many weddings and parties will traditionally be held on the territory of the snow towns.
During the period of the festival (from January 5 to February 28), the Chinese celebrate three important dates: New Year, Spring Festival and Lantern Festival. Therefore, the influx of tourists is tripled.
By the way, preparations for Chinese New Year begin long before the holiday itself.

The Vader Project kicks off at the Andy Warhol Museum
Someone may love the Star Wars movie and, to put it simply, be a fan of all six parts, someone may consider the film stupid and not worthy of attention, and also not worth spending hours in front of the screen for it, but everyone will agree that the Star Wars movie has always been popular. This is evidenced by the huge number of sold souvenirs, toys, as well as ongoing events and projects dedicated to this film and its immortal characters

In an age of fantastic discoveries and high technology, people often lack simplicity of feelings and sincerity in relationships.

Surprisingly, in Austria there is a place where everyone can find themselves literally in the palaces of the Snow Queen. It is the largest ice cave of the Eisriese
