Artists crafting snow sculptures for the upcoming expo in NE China

Snow sculpture artists are busy working on the sculptures for the upcoming 31st International Snow Sculpture Art Expo in the city of Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. Dozens of smaller snow sculptures have already been finished, with bigger ones that are more than 10 meters in height being sculpted. With many high quality art sculptures on display annually for two months, the sculpture festival has become a popular tourist destination for both local and international tourists alike. [Photo: VCG]
