Tourists from all over the world braved the minus 20 degree temperatures in Harbin, China on Sunday.

The 30th Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival in China’s Heilongjiang province opened Jan. 5 and lasts for weeks, drawing Chinese and foreign visitors.

Around 10,000 people were involved in creating the sculptures, fashioned from ice blocks cut from a local frozen river, as well as man-made snow.

The sculptures resemble huge buildings, snow maidens and other structures, some of them lit up fancifully at night.
