This astonishing footage shows how participants at a winter festival in China carved a massive snow sculpture in the shape of a dragon to honour the coming year of the dragon.

The video shows competitors at the 36th annual Harbin Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Art Expo in China's northernmost Heilongjiang Province, hacking away the thick snow to create a dragon on December 9.

Sixteen participating sculptors reportedly spent seven days and a total of 2,200 cubic metres of snow to create the jaw-dropping sculpture named 'Dragon Soars and Fortune Abounds', according to Chinese media.

Standing at 17 metres in height (55 feet), 16 metres (52 feet) in length, and another nine metres in width (29 feet), the mesmerising figure is hoped to bring people good fortune in the new year.

According to the Chinese zodiac, 2024 is the 'Year Of the Dragon' and is expected to bring growth, success, prosperity, and abundance.
