Have You Seen a Diamond Sea? 💎❄️
Did you know that in Harbin, a city in northeastern China, workers cut huge blocks of ice from a frozen river every winter? It’s true! And it’s an amazing sight to see! 👀
Harbin is famous for its cold winters and ice sculptures. Every year, brave workers go onto the frozen Songhua River with big saws. They cut out blocks of ice that can weigh up to a ton—that’s as heavy as a car! 🚗
These ice blocks are used to build fantastic ice castles and sculptures for the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival. Imagine walking through a city made entirely of ice! 🏰❄️
But the coolest part (pun intended 😄) is what’s left behind. The broken pieces of ice sparkle on the frozen river. When the sunlight hits them, they shimmer like giant diamonds. That’s why people call it the “Diamond Sea.” Doesn’t it sound magical? ✨
If you ever visit Harbin in winter, don’t miss this incredible ice harvest. It’s a dazzling wonder that shows how amazing nature can be—and how creative people are! 🌟
So, bundle up, stay warm, and maybe one day you can see the Diamond Sea yourself! 🧤🧣
