Featuring an ice bar counter, ice containers, ice tables and chairs, the ice bar provides casual cold and hot drinks with canapés for only seven days at the center of Beijing's CBD area.

It is quite a sensation to sit on the ice chair and sip a hot Gluehwein with live DJ shows among the city's tallest skyscrapers, as the temperature goes below zero at night.

No reservation is required. The bar is open between 6 p.m. and midnight and tomorrow will be the last day. Heading there for a New Year's countdown is an option before the ice bar melts.
