Gigantic snow sculpture under development for upcoming ski festival

Sculptors work on a massive snow sculpture, called Longteng Shengshi, for the upcoming Vasser International Ski Festival at Jingyuetan Park in Changchun, the capital of northeast China's Jilin Province on December 23, 2017. The dragon-shaped sculpture represents China's rapid development. About 35,000 cubic meters of snow is needed to make the sculpture, which will be 80 meters long, 20 meters wide, and 30 meters high at its completion. The opening ceremony of the ski festival will be held on January 4, 2018. [Photo: VCG]
