This year the festival features over 200 sculptures including iconic Asian buildings carved out of snow and ice.
A  ten metre tall model of a high speed train is also one of the big attractions.
Organisers hope over two million people will visit from all over the country, and abroad, to see the sculptures.

Felix Barrow sustained many broken bones and spent three weeks in a coma when he was knocked over outside his home in Swanmore in October last year.
His parents were told he might never walk again, but they said he has now exceeded all his doctors' expectations.
The family has raised nearly Â£100,000 for the services that saved his life.
Felix was on his way to school when he tripped in the road and was hit by a car as he was getting to his feet.
His mum Vanessa said the accident was "horrific" and added: "You just think this can't be happening to you.
"It was just a normal Wednesday, normal things going on, and your life is turned upside down into an unrecognisable sate where you are thrust into a hospital environment.
"At first I don't think we really realised the extent of his injuries.
"It's been a slow process of learning to do things again, learning to walk, learning to eat, drink normal fluids."
She added that her son has surpassed all expectations and made "amazing" progress.
Felix's dad Stuart said his life was saved by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, which flew him to hospital, and the Southampton General Paediatric Intensive Care Unit.
He said: "We wanted to repay them for saving his life. It's been fantastic, the whole community has come together."
The family set up a charity, Fit For Felix, inspired by his love of running and named by his friend Bradley.
It has now raised Â£93,850 by organising a range of activities including fun runs, bike rides, and sponsored swims.

Police reported 1,362 criminal incidents across Canada motivated by hate, a 5% increase from the previous year.
The findings were published on Tuesday by Statistics Canada.
The annual report by the federal statistics agency was compiled using police data from across the country.
Nearly half of all incidents were linked to race or ethnicity, with black Canadians the most common target.
Just over a third of reported hate crimes were motivated by hatred of a religion.
Canada's Jewish population remained the most targeted religious group, accounting for 13% of all incidents, despite a decline in the overall number of reported crimes.
Shimon Koffler Fogel, with the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, called the data "disturbing and clear".
He also said in the statement that the Jewish community stood with other targeted groups in condemning hatred in all its forms.
"An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us," he said.
Muslims reported being more frequently targeted in 2015, with 159 incidents reported compared with 99 in 2014, accounting for 12% of all incidents.
However, Statistics Canada notes many police services have reached out to ethnic communities and there have been efforts by groups like the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) to encourage reporting.
Incidents targeting Catholics also increased, jumping from 35 to 55 individual incidents.
Almost 40% of all reported hate crimes were considered violent incidents, which could include assault and uttering threats.
Members of the LGBT community reported slightly fewer hate crimes in 2015 but were more likely to be the victims of hate-related violence.
In a news conference following the report's release, the NCCM's legal counsel, Khalid Elgazzar, pointed to the murder of six men in a Quebec City mosque this January as "a painful reminder of how hate can destroy lives and deeply shake communities".
The NCCM was joined by other groups in calling for more funding and resources for police forces to fight hate crimes and improve reporting.
The Statistics Canada report notes that the figures do not paint a full picture of the true extent of hate crime in Canada. They suggest that only about 35% of hate crimes are actually reported to police.
