We drove to Kiruna the next day and then we went to the Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi, about half an hour away from Kiruna. We spent almost a day at the Icehotel. Built with the crystal clear ice from Torne River, the hotel was amazing. It is such a pity to think about how the hotel will just melt down and the water flow back to Torne River during summer.
Sean and I took a photo before we entered
The entrance
Shien and I outside the Ice Church
A pretty cool design for the church
Sean was trying to make a funny face behind the ice
Would you wanna have your wedding here? Later that night, we saw a couple having their wedding here. The bride was wearing a wedding gown with snow boots...which I thought was kind of funny...
Star and Moon - my favorite art suite at the hotel
Can you feel the heat from the sun (or the cold)?
Room temperature is around 0 degree Celcius
Tired? Time to indulge in a bath...
The Chrystal Hall lighten with 4 chandeliers
The sky- purple tinged grey
Every year, half a million of glasses made from the ice from here (Torne River) are exported to the rest of the icebar around the world

The lasting impression that my lips left on the ice glassI could have kept the glass if I wanted but there's no point keeping it since it will just melt eventually. However, I did bought a very nice set of shot glasses.

that ice hotel is breath taking. i wish to see it in person
ya...you should definitely go there one day...it's totally different experience.
so how to sleep in the room since it is so cold? and how to take bath oh?
Ying, the bed is covered with reindeer skin and you'll get thermal sleeping bag to sleep in...and the bathroom is just normal ones...
so sleeping is kinda uncomfortable lor, since u cannot move around freely.. haha.. then face oso cold cold and lips might break while sleeping rite?
initially i thought inside the ice is warm, not like the outside
haha...well...I haven't slept there yet...so I can't tell...but I would say that it should be quite comfortable
When outside is about -20, I guess you will still feel warmer going into the ice hotel :)
amazing... it is a good place to visit
