The remarkable tower, which is at least 26 metres high and measures around 20 storeys, is one of the main attractions at the festival - which sees thousands of tourists flock to the city of Harbin, near the China and Russian border, every year. In this series of photographs, workers can be seen chipping blocks of ice from the nearby Songhua River for the tower, before dragging the 551lb blocks towards the site.

Quoting: waterlily I have been trying to convince myself for years, that theoretically it would be worth it to go somewhere that cold to see the marvelous sculptures. So far I haven't even got the theoretical up and running! I'll just continue to look at the photos. Yes! Those photos were amazing. I would also like to see that but the extreme cold is a problem. Spectacular! Thanks for the photos! |
