| - I thought this place was quite cool, granted this is the first time I've been to the Snow Village and experienced something like this.
It wasn't like how I imagined it from the website, but nevertheless, the ice sculptures and art works are quite impressive. The ice chapel, ice bar and ice restaurant stands mostly in its own igloos. The chapel is smaller than I expected, but the ice work of a heart is certainly romantic. There are more people sitting at the ice bar than the restaurant, as amazing as it is, I would be a little discouraged to eat cold dishes in the cold. But the bar serves drinks in ice cups, which is quite a fancy sight.
There are a few separate tunnels that hosts the different hotel rooms, most of which has its own unique theme. Most of the people who are just touring (like us), peeked into each room, whoa-ed and woo-ed while taking pictures. I really don't want to spoil any surprises, but they have everything from super heroes to angry giant apes (*wink*). There are also some fun surprises outside, with an ice slide, the mascot, and an ice man going around offering ice and ketchup on a plate.
We got the groupon deal of $18 for two on the weekend, which is pretty nice for an unique entertainment. I was really darn cold by the time we spent a hour there - since I had to take off my gloves to take pictures. But it was really gorgeous and quite some beautiful art.
