Zhaolin Ice Carving Park is a 'must see' during the Ice Festival because it has a traditional program that shows the most excellent ice lanterns. With water, lights and the natural ice from the Songhua River as the material, the ice lanterns are made by freezing water, piling up ice or snow, then carving and decorating, etc. The ice lantern show have been held here annually since 1963.

There are numerous pieces of ice artworks in the park arranged in groups according to different themes depicting Chinese classic masterworks, European folktales and customs and so on. A great variety of objects such as buildings, gardens, flowers, waterfalls, European-styled churches, lions, tigers, dragons are carved from ice. The best highlight is the International Ice Carving Competition held here annually, so you can see the vivid ice sculptures in different style carved by the international professionals.
