The sheer size and detail of the ice and snow sculptures are just amazing. Especially so at night when they are all lit up in glorious technicolour. Some of the hardy locals swim in a cut out section of the frozen river Songhua. Zhaolin Park is quite spectacular after dark when the ice scultpures are lit up in various colours. By day the ice sculptures can be seen in their intricate detail. The snow scuptures in Sun Island are well worth seeing. Even the streets have ice scultpures along them.
