The main event: the 13th annual Ice & Snow World. We were there for opening night, which included a fireworks display and a performance with blaring background music and uniformly outfitted downhill skiers, the narrative of which I couldn’t begin to interpret.
The ice-lantern structures were impressive in a Chinese way — that is to say, in their sheer scale, ambition and luminosity. What a task it must be to construct them; my mind went to the Egyptian pyramids. But for my yuan, I’ll take the hand-carved sculptures any day.
