Within the exhibition, visitors can freely admire the giant statues during the day or marvel at them when the colorful lighting system is switched on at night. They also have the opportunity to experience local folk culture or participate in winter activities. Photo: EPA.
In addition, the ice exhibition is also a place where visitors can see unique cultural and artistic activities. Each year, artists participating in the ice festival create their works based on a cultural theme. The exhibition content is not limited to Chinese culture but can also reflect European styles or those of other Asian countries. Photo: EPA.
Nevertheless, the artworks in the exhibition still require skill and perseverance from the artists. The enormous size of the sculptures is the biggest challenge for them. Photo: EPA.
