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 according to a cultural theme. The exhibition content is not limited to Chinese culture but can be imbued with the style of Europe or other Asian countries. Photo: EPA.
However, the artworks in the exhibition still require the artisans' skill and perseverance. The enormous size of the sculptures is the biggest challenge for them. Photo: EPA.
