After some ceremonies, it was manually mined by the ice mining master. The harvested ice had to be strictly selected. Only white, blue and translucent ice could be used for carving. The ice sculptor used water as a glue to carve. The construction scale of the Ice and Snow World was huge every year. By 2024, more than half of the main tower had been completed and was expected to exceed last year's 43 meters. The scale of the park reached 1.45 million square meters.

In addition, the harbin ice and snow film festival had been held since 1989 and lasted for 24 years. It was originally called the harbin ice and snow film festival. At the beginning of the festival, it proposed the idea of "respecting the works of the elite, resisting the mediocre, flourishing the film market, and calling for hundreds of millions of viewers", which won harbin the reputation of "film city". Also, on December 7th, the 5th harbin ice festival would be held on the banks of the songhua river. The festival could be traced back to the Jin Dynasty and was full of ceremony. The festival site was planned to have a performance area, an ice mining area, a food collection, and a cultural creation collection. The ice collected from the songhua river would not only be used for the construction of the ice and snow world, but also for the construction of the ice and snow landscape of the Asian Winter Games.
