2 . 4 Popular Places to Go This Winter
Harbin, China
China Harbin’s winter is for the brave ones — the average temperature is 1.8°F — but those who brave the cold will be rewarded with experiencing one of the world’s largest winter festivals. 2019 marks the 35th Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture (雕塑) Festival (January－March), when great frozen structures rise and are lit up, transforming the city into a winter wonderland.
Lyon, France
Paris may be called The City of Light, but every December, light takes center stage in Lyon, France’s thirdlargest city. That’s when the annual Festival of Lights (around December 8) takes over, with light installations ( 装 置 ) that transform the city’s street scenes into modern works of art. The city is also home to two Christmas markets (one in La CroixRousse; the other at the Place Carnot; through December 25).
Lima, Peru
Peru’s capital Lima is home to the world’s highest number of cooking schools per person. Aside from its wellknown dining, the city also has great cocktail bars where you can taste the Pisco Sour(皮斯科鸡尾酒). Combine that with the oceanfront setting and temperatures in the 80°F, and you’ll understand why Lima should no longer be ignored this winter.
Vermont, US
Winter in Vermont means skiing and snowboarding. Many resorts ( 度假胜地) have greatly upgraded their snowmaking abilities as part of a $15 million statewide program that replaced many outdated snow guns with new, lowenergy models. These new machines will also improve the quality of snow surfaces and lengthen the season, meaning this will be one of the best winters for skiing and riding in Vermont in recent memory.
