One of the World’s Premier Winter Cultural Events
Harbin Ice Sculpture Competition is widely recognized as one of the premier winter cultural events internationally, providing visually striking experiences across its seven editions each year and showcasing how frozen materials can serve not only for spectacle, but also as platforms for cultural exchange and artistic dialogue among artists from various national backgrounds.
