The Ice Festival in Harbin, China, showcases stunning ice sculptures and record-breaking amounts of ice and snow—300,000 cubic meters! Visitors can warm up around a giant hot pot surrounded by zodiac-themed statues while cooking their own food. Meanwhile, in the US, winter fun takes on a different form. Washington DC residents turned snowy streets into a battleground for a giant snowball fight, with some participants dressing up for the occasion.
