Beijing, China’s Ice and Snow Festival Dazzles the Eye

Posted Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Featured on Episode 16 of the 2009-2010 season

 

Visitors to Beijing’s Ice and Snow Festival see temples and palaces made entirely of ice and illuminated with multi-colored lights. Also on display are hand carved ice sculptures - like a tiger - designed to mark the lunar year of the tiger, which starts next month. The festival, now in its 24th year, runs until the end of February - or until the ice melts.

Those sculpters are so amazing. They look so cool with the lights. I can’t even imagine how long and hard it would be to make. I would love to go to Beijing and see it.

I think it was so cool that those buildings were made out of ice.I wish I was there when that was built.  I would ice skate every day.  Those colors were so cool.  The blue was the coolest ever.
