The Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival is an annual winter-themed festival held in Harbin, Heilongjiang, China, and is now the largest ice and snow festival in the world.

Every July, locals and tourists will be celebrating the Boryeong Mud Festival in Daecheon Beach, Boryeong, for nine days. The most important thing about the festival is to play with the mud. Countless tourists will be jumping into a pool of mud and throwing mud to each other. Splashes of mud will be everywhere. According to the authority, Boryeong Mud is full of minerals and germaniums, which are all healthy to humans. The festival was first held in 1997 to promote the benefits of the local mud to human health.  The tourists there just want to have fun soaking themselves in the mud and seeing the splashes. The only thing to bear in mind is that the clothes you wore when enjoying the festival would no longer be wearable. During the nine-day mud festival, tourists may enjoy concerts, parties and firework displays. Besides the mud festival, you also can’t miss the sky bike. The rails are built along the seashore, and part of them are installed over the water. Ride the sky-bike and you can enjoy a fascinating panoramic view of the ocean and the shore.
