Four Popular Places to Go This Winter
Harbin, 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 by experiencing one of the world's largest winter festivals. This year marks the 32nd Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival (JanuaryMarch),when massive 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 secondlargest city. That's when the annual Festival of Lights (December 5th8th) takes place, with more than 70 light installations that transform the city's streetscapes into modern works of art. The city is also home to two famous markets.
Lima, Peru
Peru's capital Lima has the world's highest number of cooking schools per person. Aside from its delicate food,the city also has great bars where you can taste classic or contemporary flavors of drinks. Combine that with the oceanfront setting and temperatures, and you'll understand why Lima should no longer be ignored this winter.
Vermont, US
Winter in Vermont means skiing and snowboarding. This year,many resorts have greatly upgraded their snowmaking abilities as part of a $15 million statewide program that replaced many outdated snow guns with new and lowenergy models.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.
