You can also enjoy ice sculptures in Guangzhou - the opening of the first Guangzhou·Harbin Ice Sculpture Art Exhibition (Reported by Yang Qiwei, our special correspondent in Guangzhou) Going to Harbin to spend a "cold" Spring Festival is one of the travel choices of many Guangzhou residents. The most interesting things to see in Harbin in winter naturally include the snow and ice sculptures on Sun Island. Now, people in Guangzhou who want to experience the ice and snow in the north can do so without having to travel far. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the first Guangzhou Erbin Ice Sculpture Art Exhibition officially opened at the North Gate Square of the Guangdong Science Center. The exhibition area covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters, including 8 major scenic spots including Cool Technology, Happy Cartoons, Romantic Glaciers, Southern Love, and Chinese Charm. A total of nearly 100 high-level ice sculpture art works are on display here. It is said that the entire ice sculpture exhibition consumed a total of 500 tons of ice. Walking into the exhibition hall, a world of ice sculptures comparable to Harbin is displayed in front of us: the large-scale ice sculpture Temple of Heaven, the Nine Dragon Wall, the European castle slide, etc., are vivid and beautiful, and an authentic atmosphere of Harbin ice sculptures hits our faces. What is even more unexpected is that in addition to the original ice exhibition, the ice sculpture room also incorporates many Lingnan elements, such as the exquisite pagoda, dragon boat racing, Xiguan House, and Pixiu statues, etc. These are all things that Cantonese people love to see. In the exhibition hall, the most eye-catching thing may be the world's largest ice statue of Confucius. This ice statue of Confucius is 9.5 meters high and was created based on the statue of Confucius in front of Tiananmen Square. In addition, the 50-ton orange Maitreya Buddha is also eye-catching. This giant Buddha statue is made of more than a thousand pieces of ice, making it the world's first and largest Buddha made of ice. According to the exhibitor, this exhibition introduces elements of "Impressionism" for the first time to carve exquisite ice scenes. It is the first time that sound, light and electricity are fused to present the Kanto ice and snow scene from multiple angles. It is the first time that thousands of crystal clear colored ices of various colors are used to enhance the visual impact. In addition, many special designs are made in lighting decorations in line with Guangzhou's Lantern Festival lantern viewing customs. The exhibition is both an ice sculpture exhibition and a real ice lantern exhibition. Since the temperature of the ice sculpture booth is only -9℃, all visitors must wear down jackets prepared by the organizer before entering. In the ice sculpture room, the colorful European castle ice slide attracted the screams of countless southern children. Children in the north all have skiing experience, while children in the south are relatively new to skiing. In this ice sculpture exhibition, the ice and snow slide has four special slides, one for adults and one for children. Regardless of adults or children, they can slide down without any effort at all. Many parents and children had a great time playing here, with laughter and laughter. It is understood that hundreds of ice lantern art works in the exhibition were carved by more than 30 Harbin and international ice sculpture masters over a 30-day period. The ice sculpture masters involved in the creation all have extraordinary skills. The reporter saw at the exhibition hall that in less than half an hour, the face of a Pleasant Goat was clearly identifiable in the seemingly casual movements of the creative staff waving the ice shovel. According to them, it only took one morning to complete the two colorful ice sculptures of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. In this exhibition area, there are many ice sculptures of cartoon characters like Pleasant Goat, mostly presented in the form of reliefs. The ugly duckling, the little match girl, Santa Claus, Snow White, Cupid and other exhibits are all realistic and lifelike. It is reported that the organizers are applying for Guinness World Records for works such as the world's largest ice statue of Confucius, the world's largest Buddha weighing tens of thousands of kilograms, and the European castle's super-large ice slide in the exhibition hall.
