China's giant frozen castle built entirely from ICE: Enormous structure that towers over construction crane forms centrepiece of annual snow festival
*Enormous over 26-metre tower to be the centerpiece of the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival, which will fully open in 2014
*10,000 workers have been working non-stop to complete the event's remarkable ice and snow structures
* Over 180,000 sq metres of ice, some chipped off from the Songhua River and dragged to the festival site, used overall
These pictures show an enormous frozen castle - built entirely from ice - created for the 30th Harbin Ice and Snow Festival.
The remarkable tower, which is at least 26 metres high and measures around 20 storeys, is one of the main attractions at the festival - which sees thousands of tourists flock to the city of Harbin, near the China and Russian border, every year.
In this series of photographs, workers can be seen chipping blocks of ice from the nearby Songhua River for the tower, before dragging the 551lb blocks towards the site.
