Construction begins on iconic Harbin Ice-Snow World
HARBIN -- Construction of the seasonal Harbin Ice-Snow World in the capital of Northeast China's Heilongjiang province began on Wednesday, with ice blocks transported to the park after being stored for over 10 months.
In order to ensure the beauty of the ice-construction landscape, the ice blocks will go through strict inspection on thickness, length and cleanliness before being used, said Yang Liu with Harbin Ice and Snow World Park Co., Ltd.
The Harbin Ice-Snow World is a renowned seasonal theme park that enjoys great popularity every winter.
More than 10,000 ice construction workers and nearly 1,000 pieces of mechanical operation equipment will enter the park for the construction process. By mid-December, visitors will be able to enjoy the ice-and-snow park covering 1 million square meters.
