Harbin Ice and Snow World, one of the most popular scenic spots in Harbin, Heilongjiang province, has already started its annual task of selecting and storing a batch of high-quality ice blocks for next year's event.
On the frozen Songhua River, which runs through Harbin, workers located a place near the riverbank where the ice is over 40 centimeters thick. Then the crew used a chain saw to cut blocks to the required size.
According to the carving rules, each block of ice is about 90 cm wide, 40 cm thick and 180 cm long.
