Before the Ice festival we saw this panda in a snowed  bamboo forest

eating bamboo twigs

and the impressive Siberian tiger

so majestic

at the airport we got the icy message!

then this icy tree in the street

The freezing ladies standing at the market...

the men sawing icy blocks taken from the river

We arrived early to the festival

with a 40m high Bavarian castle

the arctic fox was the only one not freezing!

The night brought the lighting...

with changing colors

A horse coach for tired visitors

People in the stairs give the size of the castle

A huge Buddhist statue.

It's time to leave and catch a plane to Beijing

and be rewarded by the great wall..

Just for me: without tourists!
