Visitors walk past huge ice sculptures at Chitose-Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival in Chitose, Hokkaido, on Monday. The ice sculptures, which are made by jetting the water of Lake Shikotsu with sprinklers, will be on display until Feb 15.

This is a fun festival to go to, dress warm though, the wind on the lake is very chilling.

Aren't there more appealing sculptures to show?

lol, thanks for the worthless comment, sarge. You didn't even say where in China. Either way, I hope to hit this festival next winter :)

Just goes to prove that size matters when it comes to ice sculptures.

Too abstract for my taste.

Yeah. But you'd have to go to China to see them.

Those sculptures are abstract but at least when wife and I went(2006 I think) they had alot of domes(they mix the ice with different objects to change the colour inside the domes), a few slides, some sculptures of different things(but you would do better to go the Sapporo Snow Festival if that is solely what you want to see) traditional music and the whole thing is put on by Sapporo Beer.
