Three terracotta warrior ice sculptures are on display at Harbin Ice and Snow World in Harbin, the capital of Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, attracting visitors looking for striking photo ops.

Several days ago, a group of photos named "Ice Terracotta Warriors in Harbin" went viral but were revealed to be AI-generated.

To satisfy the demand for genuine ice terracotta warriors, a pair of sculptors spent two days carving three ice sculptures at the park, including a general, a kneeling archer, and a middle-ranking officer based on their actual sizes at the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, Shaanxi province.
