Sun Island and snow sculptures








Day 4, February 7th




We packed a lot into this day! We started very early at Sun Island, a Central Park type park although an island in the middle of the river (the Songhua-sp?) that runs through Harbin. We opened the park and had it largely to ourselves- an unusual experience in China! The Chinese Government had collaborated with France this year designing and making the sculptures so there was a interesting mix of Chinese and French design. Some of them where absolutely huge! We walked around looking at the sculptures and there were plenty of more opportunities to slip and slide as well. Sophie and I even rode on a dog sled pulled by two very bored looking huskies!
