Ice Bar at the Harbin Shangri-la Hotel



Our hotel (among many other places in Harbin) had an ice bar. Very cool. hahahaha! Sorry! It was pretty cool to check out, but for the life of me after a long day out in the cold I don't understand why anyone would want to go in there and have a drink. The building, bar, tables, seats, were all made of ice. They had little cushions where you actually sit, but that only helps very briefly. The place is only really good if you want to go in there and have a shot or two. Which a couple of our friends did. Then you take a couple pictures and get the heck out of there. Right next door, in the same ice building, there were a couple little private size rooms with a big round table where you could have dinner. Again, I'm not getting it. Other than the novelty of it, I want to eat where it's warm and toasty. Not in a building made of ice.
