Earlier this month, artists performed the thousand-hand Bodhisattva on skis at the Harbin ice and snow festival in China. Harbin has one of the four largest ice and snow festivals in the world, along with Japan's Sapporo Snow Festival, Canada's Quebec City Winter Carnival and Norway's Ski Festival. It covers 400,000 square metres and uses 120,000 cubic metres of ice and snow.
...Blocks of ice are taken from the frozen Song Hua River and are transformed into an Ice and Snow city. The city takes 20 days to make and has life-sized ice towers, ice sculptures, an ice maze, ice palaces, ice temples, igloos and even an ice replica of the Great Wall of China.
