China Built The World's Largest Ice City (Melts In 1 Month)

🇨🇳 I have a new shorts channel, where I posted this video about how I got food delivered by a robot in China: youtube.com/shorts/bFbzgAZGdVY?si=7yJ-ue4GjDe5ymEy ✅Feel free to subscribe to that channel, if you watch YouTube Shor

Let me translate for you 15:14 he said " you're welcome " 16:24 The little girl said " Foreign guest" I can say, almost 99% of Chinese are friendly people. China is not a threat to the world, and on the contrary, China is very kind to all other countries. Danke !!!

If you're in Harbin, don't miss the opportunity to explore the hauntingly fascinating Ruins of the Japanese Army Unit 731 Headquarters and delve into the gripping stories at the Unit 731 Museum. These remarkable sites, nestled on Xingjian Street in Pingfang District of Harbin, promise to leave an indelible mark on your soul. Let's share the rich tapestry of history with the world, learning from past and paving the way for a harmonious and peaceful future. The best part is that admission to the museum is free, and you can also rent a translator device at no cost. This ensures that language barriers won't hinder your exploration and understanding of the exhibits.

The lady said " You can see him next time" and the little girl said " I won't have a chance to see him anymore" 🥺That melted my heart

Chinese people are full of creativity, vitality and happiness!!

Hi Ken, I was born in Harbin, Harbin people are very happy and friendly in nature. when the little girl handed to you the cookie, she said: this is cookie with love hearts ❤️😊,and she kind show you a heart with her fingers! Wellcome to Harbin! Wish you have great time in Harbin!! Don't forget to walk along the famous"Zhong yang da jie" and eat "ma die er" ice cream 😊😂❤

16:47 The little girl make a heart sign, so cute.💗

Translation for Chinese in the video: 15:40 Mom (to the girl): What's your name? (She understood the question and asked her daughter to say her name) 15:46 Mom: Are you travelling here? 15:55 Mom: I cannot understand English when it is fast. Girl: He might be a Russian. (Harbin is very close to Russia) Mom: Are you from Russia? 16:03: Mom (to the girl): You can sit here and have a photo with the uncle. 16:15 Mom (asking her daughter): Will you go to Germany in the future? You can go visit the uncle. (I'm not very sure if it's Germany (德国 de guo) or Russia (俄国 e guo), they sounds familiar but I think its Germany. Also curious how the mom figured out Ken is from Germany) 16:20 Girl: Foreign countries are a bit scary. Mom: (laughed) how do you know it's scary? You have never been abroad. 16:26 Mom: You can treat the uncle with some cookies. 16:40 Girl: My mom said, I said this is a heart. Mom: You can make a heart gesture to the uncle. 16:55 Girl: Mom, why do foreigners talk like this? 17:30 Girl: Uncle, have you been to Russia? 17:50 Mom (to the girl): You can speak Chinese. He can understand Chinese (by using the translation software)

Fantastic video and brilliant editing! We really enjoyed you showing us China's Ice City! The most wholesome moment was the cutest little girl and her mom who gifted you those cookies, amazing Hospitality, loved it! ❤

Fun facts: the ice cubes used to build this ice city are SPECIAL ICE. They are cut from the frozen local river “Song Hua River” that passes through Harbin. The ice was formed while water flows slowly and gently. Therefore there is no bubble or ‘fog’ inside the ice. All ice cubes are crystal clear. You can see through the thick ice cubes. The quality of the ice ensures the embedded lights effect. Every year to ‘harvest’ the special ice for building the annual ice city is a major job. The extra ice cubes are stored deep down underneath for the next year to use.

Woah! The ice world was absolutely breathtaking. It was an incredible journey.:penguin-blue-waving-tear::penguin-blue-waving-tear::penguin-blue-waving-tear:

WoW...only China can build such fun infrastructure !!!

Even though it's winter now and it's -20 degrees in Harbin, but if you travel a few thousands kilometers south to Hainan or Sanya (Hawaii of China), it's plus 20 degrees. So China is huge and the temperature can range from -20 to + 20 depending on the longitude. Also, the country has a very diverse landscape, from desert dunes, rolling hills, gigantic mountains, snow & ice, forest, jungles, oceans, plains, concrete jungle, etc. I hope you get to visit other places too. You should check out Dadong (near North Korean border). Or Yanji in Yanbian Chaoxian Prefecture in Jilin. It's full of Chaoxian (Joseon or ethnic Korean) people - it's nearby anyways in northeast China. Go to Ordos or Hohot in Inner Mongolia during summer. There's also Kashgar, Urumqi, Turpan, Aksu in Xinjiang that have the Central Asian / Middle East vibe. Since you're in Harbin, you should've already seen some Russian architecture like the St. Sophia cathedral with the onion domes. If you go Southwest to Yunan, there's a beautiful town called Lijiang. Also visit Dali as well, there's a huge Hui Muslim population there. In Guangzhou you can see one of the oldest mosques in the world dating back 1300 years ago when the earliest Arabs reached China by sea route. Chongqing (a temporary capital of the Republic of China or ROC during WWII), Chengdu, Lhasa, Changsha, etc. Outside special administrative zone include Macau, HK, Taiwan (though controversial), etc. Older / former capital include Shenyang (Mukden) - former capital of the later Jin Dynasty (Manchu), Nanjing (first capital of Ming Dynasty), Xi'an (capital of various dynasties including Han & Tang). Kaifeng & Hangzhou (old capitals of Northern & Southern Song Dynasty). Hope you get to visit Qingdao (better during summertime) - used to be a former German concession / colony. Tsingtao beer comes from that city, which used to be a former German brewery that the Germans left behind. Dalian is another cool place. Tianjin - looks like a typical European city because it got traded between the French, Italians, Austro-Hungarian and Belgians, so the houses and buildings look like typical European architecture. You can check Yuan MingYuan (Old Summer Palace ruins). It used to be a grand garden palace with a fusion of European & Oriental architectural design, but the Brits & French destroyed it in 1860. It was designed by a mix of Italian, French Jesuits and local Chinese architects built in 18th century. Took 3 generations of emperors to build but destroyed in 3 days by Brits/French.

I'm so happy to see the 1 month of travel in China you have planned! It's on my bucket list this year for sure!

Great and interesting sharing. I have never been to Harbin, China before. Will definitely make a trip there one day. Thank you Ken.👍👍👍😍😍😍

Rough translation: The mom around 16:00 first asked if you're travelling, then said your English is too fast and she couldn't understand! Then the kid says you're probably from Russia? And I guess you told them you're from Germany, because the mom said she can go find you when she goes to Germany, and the girl says abroad is too scary! The girl says "my mom told me it's the shape of a heart" and the mom asked the girl to make a heart with her hands. The little girl then said "why do foreigners talk like this?" The girl then asked you if you're been to Russia. The mom asked the girl to leave because it's time to go, and the girl says she doesn't want to go and want to stay! What a cute interaction! Thanks for showing us Harbin. It's been over 20 years since I've been, and now I want to go back again too!
