The cold or cold weather, made from/of, walk around

[Rachel Adams]

In a conversation about interesting places about unusual places(ice hotels) about interesting places in one's country does each sentence sound idiomatic? Can I use either "the cold" or "cold weather", "walk around the city" and both "made from" and "made of"?

I don't like (the) cold/cold weather and sleeping in cold places. I don't think I would want to stay at one of the ice hotels in China. An interesting place is the city of Tbilisi in Georgia. Tourists can try local food and walk around the city. The tunnel of love was a lovely place to visit. It's made of/from trees and bushes.

1. Use either one.
2. The only ice hotel I've ever heard of is in Norway.
3. Use "of" if they are still trees and bushes.

The first sentence is too long.

Does "try local food" and "walk around the city" as well as "An interesting place is the city of Tbilisi in Georgia" sound idiomatic?

It's OK.

Do you mean cold, the cold and cold weather all work?

"Use either one" refers to "the cold" or "cold weather" (two things).

We also have one in Quebec City every winter.

As usual, I can't paste in a URL, but it's easily found by googling: ice hotel quebec.

OK. That makes two. (I don't plan to visit either of them. )

(Clearly not a Canadian happy about the climate, one once said on Facebook that Canada has nine months of winter.)

If you're making a general statement, you need "is", not "was".

Using "was" suggests you're referring to a specific experience in the past, which doesn't go with the rest of your passage.
