To enhance visitor satisfaction, this year's carnival has undergone a comprehensive upgrade in terms of overall amusement project planning, snow sculpture attractions, ice sculpture art, and services and safety.
The number of projects has increased by 11 on the basis of 33 from previous years.
The official in charge of the carnival said this year's edition also features a 20-meter-tall snowman.
