    BEIJING, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- Every year, in northeastern China's Heilongjiang province, the city of Harbin hosts an international ice and snow festival featuring a range of snow sports and fun activities, which has put the city firmly on the map.

    But there is more to Harbin than ice and snow sculptures. Check out these fascinating pictures to find out more about China's ice city.

    The Neo-Byzantine St. Sophia Cathedral is the biggest Eastern Orthodox church in the Far East. Its red-brick facade, dark green onion domes and golden crosses atop its spires make this 1907 church an unmissable photo op for visitors to Harbin.
