In February, there will be the winter festival where locals and tourists gather for illuminated ice sculptures, fireworks, traditional dances, snowmobile rides and various competitions over the frozen lake. You can also find foodstalls selling snacks.
Dress Code: Bundle up cos it is freaking cold. Temperature was in the minus celsius zone (-20 or so) and my hand hurt from the biting cold each time I took it out of my glove to take a picture.

A world of color and illumination
The Ice Waterfall Festival is a yearly event during the winter months of November til March. From our window of our hotel, we are able to see the festival grounds near the river..
The illumination takes place between 5 and 10 PM, with 120 Objet D'Art in seven colors lining the avenues and bathing the area in a wonderful aura.
Dress Code: Bundled up for the winter

The fireworks over the frozen lake were a highlight of the festival. Every night for as long as the festival is running, the fireworks will go off at about 7:30pm in the evening.

Ice Cutting Event. The locals seemed to get a kick out of this - both young and old are encouraged to cut through these thick slabs of ice.
