The annual Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival (Chinese: 哈尔滨国际冰雪节; pinyin: Hā’ěrbīn Guójì Bīngxuě Jié) originated from Harbin’s traditional ice lantern show and garden party that takes place in winter and began in 1963. It was interrupted for a number of years during the Cultural Revolution but has been resumed and was announced as an annual event at Zhaolin Park on January 5th in 1985.
