The Ice Sculpture Festival-2026 in celebration of February 16, birthday of Chairman Kim Jong Il , is now going on with splendour in the DPRK. It opened in Samjiyon City on the occasion of the auspicious February holiday.

The venue of the festival has been visited by people in Ryanggang Province and officials, working people, service personnel, youth and students from across the country touring the revolutionary battle sites in the area of Mt Paektu.

The ice sculptures, displayed at the venue of the festival where the spectacular snowscape of primaeval forests and splendid illuminations are in good harmony, vividly show all the people's reverence for Chairman Kim Jong Il .

They make visitors recall with emotion the revolutionary career of the Chairman who had made a continuous high-intensity forced march for the prosperity of the country and happiness of the people all his life.

Also, there are ice sculptures reflecting the transparent spirit of devotedly defending the leader and indomitable fighting spirit displayed by the anti-Japanese revolutionary forerunners.

Seen there are sculptures showing the appearance of the country, which is undergoing changes day by day under the wise guidance of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un , and the happy life of the people.

Ice sculptures reflecting the transformation in the Paektu area help the visitors grasp the personality of Kim Jong Un as a great man who has turned Samjiyon City into a model of the socialist mountain cultural town, the attractive mountain tourist area and the cultural resort of the people.

Besides, there are ice sculptures vividly showing the people enjoying a rich and civilized life and the schoolchildren learning to their heart’s content.

Also, on display are elaborate ice sculptures depicting the national symbols and works of various other themes.
