Full-text translation of Quebec winter carnival

A group of cold tourists sat in a cafe in the old town of Quebec, trying to keep warm by drinking coffee. The temperature was MINUS 32 degrees, and the hot air in the room filled the windows with steam. Outside, the streets and sidewalks are covered with snow, and carnival music and festival lights continue, but after watching the parade, riding horses and listening to music all day, their feet are frozen and their noses are red with cold.

Every year, thousands of people come to Quebec to participate in the world's largest one-week winter festival. Everyone who comes here must keep walking, because it is too cold to stand and watch for a long time.

In the morning, you can see the skiing competition on the mountain across the river. Players are flying in the air as if they were flying.

A more exciting activity is the canoe race, in which five or six people drive canoes across the partially frozen St. Lawrence River. The river is covered with chunks of ice. If you fall into the river, you will freeze to death in two minutes.

One of the most popular events is the dog sled race. Each team has six strong husky dogs pulling a long sled across the snowy road at high speed, and one person is driving behind the sled and shouting at the dogs to show encouragement. The barking of dogs, the shouts of sled drivers and the shouts of the crowd left an exciting and unforgettable experience in the north. Dogs are beautiful and powerful animals with long and thick fur. Many dogs have blue eyes.

When we appreciate the ice sculptures in the whole city, just like what we saw in Harbin, China, you can rest in the igloo with other tourists and enjoy hot tea and coffee. Surprisingly, it will be so warm in the igloo.

You can go to the Snow Palace to play games with others. Bona, the snowman mascot there, is the emperor of this palace. You can also dance to the music of the band. The band members wear thick clothes, and the musical instruments also wear warm clothes to avoid the cold in winter.

Finally, you may want to sit in the coffee shop to keep warm and consider your plans for tomorrow. You can take part in the snowmobile race or sleep in.
