Ice sculptures wow crowds at Harbin festival in China
- Published
In Harbin, China, some of the world's most amazing ice sculptures are on display at the International Ice and Snow Festival.
The festival started in 1963 and is the largest annual winter festival of its kind.
Over 7,000 artists and workers help to build the attractions, using huge ice blocks from the local Songhau River.
Hundreds of thousands of people from across the region travel there to get a look at the unique creations and even take a slide.
Temperatures can hit a very low -16C which is ideal for this colourful chilly maze.
This very detailed snow sculpture is just one of the many impressive designs.
The winter wonderland continues for several weeks until February 25.
