Sculptors from around the world concluded the latest Harbin International Ice-Assemblage Sculpture Championship on Thursday, producing some of the most incredible ice sculptures ever carved for arguably the most famous ice sculpting competition in the world. Thirteen teams from seven countries had just 4.5 days to complete their offerings, with each team receiving 10 large blocks of ice taken from Harbin's Songhua river. This year's first prize went to Team Russia Amursk for their ice dragons.

Welcome to the 32nd Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival, one of the largest and most dazzling Ice festivals in the world. The northeastern Chinese city of Harbin hosted the festival, which opened its doors to festival goers on Thursday. Visitors marveled at the giant sculptures made entirely from snow and ice and enjoyed riding on sledges and snow bikes around the festival grounds. The Harbin ice and snow sculpture festival drew more than a million visitors last year, attracting people from across Asia and eastern Russia. It is set to run until the end of February. The tradition actually took root in 1963 with a winter lantern show in the frosty city, but was cancelled during the cultural revolution. The festival was reinstated on January 5, 1985 and has taken place regularly for the past 32 years. The ice and snow festival brings together hundreds of artists from around the world to face off in the sculpture competition. The world's largest ice sculptures are created in the process and the gigantic, frozen artwork transforms Harbin into a winter fairytale. There's still time to go check out the winter wonderland that is the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival.
