are already open to the public.

Technique: To secure the structure, a worker pours water onto ice cubes
to make them stick to one another before leveling them off and polishing.
Some of the pieces measure more than 26 metres tall and 117 metres wide.
Overall, the whole site is well over 600,000 sq metres. All in all, about
180,000 sq metres of ice and 150,000 sq metres of snow will be used to
complete all the works.
In the evening, some of the structures are lit up in a beautiful light-show display.

Some of these pictures show the spectacle - with numerous palaces, towers and
monuments in the festival lit up in every colour of the rainbow.
In the New Year, tourists can enjoy the artwork for themselves in addition
to the Ice Lantern Garden Party, skiing, figure skating and theatre performances.
Visitors may also wish to visit the event's Siberian Tiger Park or perhaps
watch fishing, swimming and diving performances on the frozen river.
Others may wish to enjoy a tipple in the event's ice bar.

festivals, along with Japan's Sapporo Snow Festival, Canada's Quebec
Winter Carnival, and Norway's Ski Festival.
It officially starts on January 5 and usually lasts to the end of
February, weather permitting.
