Real-life ice replicas of Terracotta Army Soldiers shone at a Winter festival in China.

Footage shows the figures standing in front of an ice brick wall while being polished and detailed by carvers using sharp tools at the Harbin Ice and Snow World in Heilongjiang province on January 9.

The ice sculptures resembled military officers, generals, and archers from the famous depiction of the Chinese first emperor's army.

Sculptors used AI during the carving process, which took two days to finish.

The Terracotta Army is a collection of long columns of terracotta warriors, that stand in formation depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China.

Dating from approximately the late 200s BCE, the units of clay soldiers were buried along the emperor, to accompany him during his eternal rest.

They were discovered by local farmers in Lintong County, outside the city of Xian, in China's northwestern province of Shaanxi, in 1974.

The Harbin Ice and Snow World International Winter Festival is an annual event where sculptors worldwide are free to demonstrate their artistic skill set. It is held each year on Sun Island Park from January to February.
