Harbin Ice-Building Tradition

Harbin’s seasonal ice architecture starts with blocks harvested from the Songhua River. Crews inspect, lift and shape the ice into walls and towers, then lighting changes the structures after dark. The short-lived buildings bring winter labor and public spectacle together.
