Organizers of the festival used a total of 10,000 cubic meters of ice and 20,000 cubic meters of snow to create a winter dreamland with fantasy castles, cartoon images, iconic buildings, creative scenes and amusement facilities all made from ice.
Roaming the ice-themed park, visitors can view ice sculptures glistening under colorful lights and experience entertaining snow sports such as curling, ice bowling, snow tug-of-war and sledging races.
