The event showcases a breathtaking array of ornately carved ice and snow sculptures that illuminate the cityscape.
Visitors are greeted by towering pagodas, intricate replicas of modern city skylines, and fantastical creations that blend futuristic designs with traditional motifs. As night falls, the sculptures come alive, glowing in a rainbow of colors that create a mesmerizing feast for the eyes.
The festival marks the beginning of China’s winter travel season, and tourists from across the country and abroad are beginning to trickle into Changchun to witness the spectacle. The event not only highlights the artistic prowess of the ice sculptors but also promotes the cultural and economic vitality of the region.
“It’s like stepping into a fairy tale,” said one visitor. “The craftsmanship and creativity are truly astounding.”
The Changchun Ice and Snow New World is expected to attract thousands of visitors in the coming weeks, contributing to the local tourism industry and offering a unique opportunity to experience the magic of winter in the Chinese mainland.
