In China The Largest Snow Sculpture Ever Created


Romantic Feelings is a staggering 115ft high and 656ft long - the largest snow sculpture ever created.

600 sculptors from 40 countries have used 120,000 cubic feet of snow and ice to create the Olympic themed landscape - a vista of Russian churches, French cathedrals, Chinese palaces and, of course, an ice Acropolis.
This sculpture is the centerpiece of the Ice And Snow Festival, held annually in the northeastern city of Harbin, China.
