Legendary! Harbin Ice Sculptures Land on Mount Tai, Dai Temple Tianjie Transforms into a Snowy Wonderland

Featuring the same giant ice structures as Harbin Ice and Snow World, officially unveiled on January 4, 2026, this has become a highly recognizable Shandong-themed landmark in the park this winter. This edition of Ice and Snow World is themed "A Fairy Tale World of Ice and Snow," covering an exhibition area of about 1.2 million square meters with a total ice and snow volume of approximately 400,000 cubic meters, making it the largest ever. Must-See Highlights - Tianjiefang Ice Sculpture: Modeled after Mount Tai’s "Tianjiefang," entirely built from ice with staggered arches; the top center is inlaid with red characters "Tianjie" and "Shandong." It appears clear and cool during the day and gains depth and texture under lighting at night. - Dai Temple Zhengyangmen Ice Sculpture: Based on the Dai Temple Zhengyangmen gate, the ice wall shows a dreamy gradient under the interplay of sunlight and lighting; combining solemnity and liveliness, it is a prime photo spot. - Shandong Guest Week Atmosphere: Centered around four themes—"Trendy Shandong, Everyday Life, Warm Winter Journey, and New Year Blessings"—original song and dance, intangible cultural heritage rap, and newly arranged folk music performances take turns on stage. Interactive points and parades bring the warmth of "Hospitable Shandong" to the icy scenes.
