Storyline Winter tourism craze heats up demand for snow sculptors in China At the Jingyuetan National Forest Park in northern China's Jilin Province, snow and ice sculptors are creating a winter wonderland. It's part of an annual festival that includes massive relief sculptures like castles and cartoon characters, delicately and painstakingly carved from mounds of snow and ice. Event organizers say this year there are around 100 sculptors who work 9 hours a day in minus 20-degree weather. 56-year-old Zhou is one of them. He switched from woodworking to snow sculpting more than 20 years ago. Zhou Jiabing, snow sculptor: "Based on our experience for long years and the size of snowbank, we can know what the depth we should do." This year's exhibit will include seven different snow and ice landscape sculptures carved from some 80,000 cubic meters of snow. [Restrictions: No access Chinese mainland]
