4 Popular Places to Go This Winter

Harbin, China

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 marked the 33rd Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival (January－March), when massive frozen structures rose and were 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 third-largest city.That's when the annual Festival of Lights (December 5－8) takes over, with more than 70 light installations (装置) that transform the city's streetscapes into modern works of art.The city is also home to two Christmas markets (one in La Croix-Rousse; the other at Place Carton; through December 25)．

Lima, Peru

Peru's capital Lima is home to the world's highest number of cooking schools per person.Aside from its delicate dining, the city also has great cocktail bars where you can taste classic or contemporary takes on the Pisco Sour.Combine that with the oceanfront setting and temperatures in the 80s, 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 (度假村) have greatly upgraded their snowmaking abilities as part of a $15 million statewide program that replaced many outdated snow guns with new, low-energy models.These new machines will also improve the quality of snow surfaces and lengthen the season, meaning this will be one of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.

Ireland's Achill Island has always been a popular European tourist destination.However, since April, the small island of just 2,600 residents (居民) has gained worldwide fame thanks to the magical return of a beach that was washed away over three decades ago.

The chain of events began in 1984 when residents of Dooagh, one of the five settlements on the island, awoke to a surprising sight: their beautiful sandy beach had been washed away by strong Atlantic storms.There were only rocks and rock pools left.For about 34 years, only small amounts of sand returned to the once unspoiled shores.The area's tourism industry slowly declined, and the handful of beachside hotels, pubs, and restaurants gradually closed as well.

Then, around Easter last year, something magical happened — an unusual ten-day tide blanketed the barren 300-meter long rock beach with hundreds of tons of soft golden sand.Scientists suspect that the sand had been gathering offshore for months and was transported to the beach by the high winds and powerful waves.

The locals are delighted to have their beach back, especially as it is attracting thousands of visitors wishing to witness the power of nature, with their own eyes.However, Sean Molloy, manager of Achill Tourism, cautions against going into the cold waters just yet, saying, “Because of the sand coming in, we don't know how safe the beach is now because currents (洋流) could be changed and it'll take a little bit of time.” He instead recommends visitors enjoy the soft sand and leave the swimming to the dolphins that frequent the area.

Interestingly, this is not the first time Dooagh Beach has pulled a disappearing and reappearing act.It disappeared in the 1890s, for over 30 years, before returning in 1927.However, the locals are optimistic that this time around, the beautiful sand is here to stay.

It used to be one of the world's most splendid train stations, sitting on the French-Spanish border — but then it fell into disrepair.Now, writes Chris Bockman, the building is showing new signs of life.

The train station was built in iron and glass, complete with a hospital, a restaurant and living quarters for customs officers from both France and Spain.At the time it was nicknamed the “Titanic of the Mountains”．

But after the day the station was opened in 1928 by the French president and the Spanish king, flaws quickly became obvious.The rail gauges (轨距) were different, so passengers still had to change trains.It made transporting goods too slow.In the early 1930s, as few as 50 passengers a day were using the station.And then things got worse.During the Spanish Civil War, the tunnels on the Spanish side were sealed off to prevent Republican rebels (反叛者) from bringing weapons in.Later, the French lost interest in the line.When a train derailed on the French side in 1970, that signaled that France abandoned the line.

The grand building itself went to rot.The tracks rusted, the ceilings fell in with the severe winter weather and vandalism (故意破坏财物的行为) did the rest.

But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place and restore it, claiming it was a major part of Spanish history.The French government has agreed to reopen the line on its side too.If all goes to plan, the “Titanic of the Mountains” could be back in business within five years before the end of 2022.It is reported that the massive wooden ticket counters at the station have already been restored.
