Imagine gathering around a giant hotpot that’s as wide as a room! 😮 That’s exactly what happened in Shenyang, a city in northeastern China, where the first Ice and Snow Hotpot Festival kicked off on January 12, 2025.
People from the city and tourists alike came together to enjoy a massive hotpot that was 4 meters in diameter—that’s over 13 feet wide! 🍲 The giant hotpot was filled with all kinds of delicious broths, from tangy beef flavors to the classic spicy ones that make your mouth tingle.
The steam rising from the hotpot mixed with the chilly winter air, creating a magical scene where hot meets cold. ❄️🔥 It wasn’t just about the food; the festival celebrated the unique winter culture of northeastern China, where embracing the cold is a way of life.
The Ice and Snow Hotpot Festival is not only about tasting yummy food but also about bringing people together to enjoy traditions and have fun in the frosty weather. Would you like to dip your favorite foods into a hotpot this big?
