Chinese and foreign tourists visit the ice festival in Harbin

Chinese and foreign tourists visit the 33rd Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival that opened last week in Harbin, the capital of China's Northeastern Heilongjiang Province, on January 7, 2017. The annual festival's major venue, billed as the world's biggest outdoor "freezing" park, attracted over a million tourists last year to see the vast collection of elaborately carved ice structures and sculptures.
