Artists will carve the blocks into fanciful sculptures and transform the city into a winter spectacle. More than 400,000 cubic meters of ice will be used for this year's park.
Because man-made ice often contains air bubbles and lacks the strength needed for carving, the blocks used in the park are taken from the frozen Songhua River.
After the ceremony, attendees joined in various games on the ice and snow and ate local specialties.
