❄️ Experience sharing | A heart-pounding snow fantasy adventure

The moment I first stepped into the Sapporo Snow Festival, I was more excited than the sub-zero temperature. Walking out of Sapporo Station, the cold air hit me in the face, but the crowds and lights instantly dispelled the chill. Odori Park has long been occupied by huge snow sculptures and colorful lights, and every step is like walking into a cartoon scene. From Hokkaido's historical buildings, world attractions to anime characters, each snow sculpture is lifelike and exquisitely detailed, which makes people admire the craftsmanship and creativity of the craftsmen.

At night, the light projection combined with music unfolds a visual and auditory feast, especially the sound and light show of the main statue. Each performance attracts hundreds of spectators to stop and even children can't take their eyes off. Although the weather is cold, queuing in front of the hot corn soup and skewers stalls adds a sense of romance to the winter festival.

In addition to viewing, the snow festival also encourages interaction. We ran to the ski slope, experienced the small snow house, and exchanged snow photography angles with tourists from all over the world. Even though the language is different, we have a brief but unforgettable connection because of the snow festival. Another surprise is the ice sculpture display at the Susukino venue. After lighting up at night, it is particularly crystal clear, and with the atmosphere of the surrounding bar street, it has a different kind of adult winter romance.

The Sapporo Snow Festival is not just an activity to watch snow sculptures, but also a comprehensive experience of culture, art and festivals. If you love Japan, love winter, and love fantasy, this place will become an unforgettable travel memory of your life. Remember to wear warm and non-slip shoes, and don't forget to bring your childlike innocence and camera, because every corner is worth stopping to admire and record. 😎
