TotallyOz Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Here's a suggestion for adventurous foodies looking for unique experiences - Enjoy a sumptuous hotpot dinner inside a crystal palace made completely of ice! And when you need some alcohol to warm up your body, there's an ice bar that conveniently provides you an extensive selection of vodka, whiskey, champagne and hot drinks. http://www.shangri-la.com/en/property/harbin/shangrila Quote

There is no way in hell I am willing to spend $400 to $500 USD a night for a room at this or any other hotel. If I want dinner and drinks in a crystal palace, I will go to the Paradise Inn on Mt. Rainer, which will include a nice drive, outdoor scenery, and a spectacular view of some of the world's prettiest landscape. Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Are ear-muffs provided, or do we have to take our own? Quote
Bob Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Yep, a bit pricey. And I, for one, will provide no thawing assistance to anybody who gets their backside (or other body parts) stuck on the frozen toilets.... Quote

Just can't see spending that much to be in ice. Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I'd rather get my rocks off elsewhere Quote
Guest Yaya Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Yep, a bit pricey. And I, for one, will provide no thawing assistance to anybody who gets their backside (or other body parts) stuck on the frozen toilets.... hmmmmm.....interesting thought, LOL, I wonder what the toilet seats are like? Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Bum numbing On a more serious note, Harbin has the most fantastic ice and snow sculpture festival during the month of January. Unfortunately, the average temperature at that time is around -16 celsius! Has anyone been - to the festival, that is - not the toilet? Quote
