"Romantic Feelings" was made by joining together 15ft square blocks of natural ice and snow, taken from the nearby Songhua River, which have been compressed to withstand blows from hatchets, saws and shovels.
600 sculptors from 40 countries have used 120,000 cubic feet of snow and ice to create the Olympic themed landscape - a vista of Russian churches, French cathedrals, Chinese palaces and, an ice Acropolis.
Many of the sculptures are melting rapidly in the midday sun and emergency repairs have already been carried out to stop them collapsing completely.
