Photo of the Day: A preview of Harbin’s insane ice castle displays

I know we already posted a Photo of the Day but this one is so goddamn cool you’ll forgive us. Pictured here are workers constructing a giant ice castle ahead of the 30th Harbin Ice and Snow Festival. And yes, it appears to be a massive ice bank.
Harbin’s 26th annual International Snow Sculpture Art Expo has already kicked off, boasting some incredible snow sculptures, and the Ice and Snow Festival will launch its grand opening ceremony on January 5.
