Would you like to visit a snowy country in winter? Why or why not?
Winter in Hokkaido,a north Japanese island, is very cold and snowy. Its capital city is famous for a winter event: the Sapporo Snow Festival. This event began in 1950 and happens every year. More than two million people visited it in 2019. The festival has about 400 beautiful snow sculptures of many sizes. Some of the large ones are around 15 meters tall.
Each year, workers collect 30,000 tons of snow from Sapporo to make the sculptures. This snow fills about 6,000 trucks! The sculptures often look like famous buildings,people, or events. The main sculpture show is at Odori Park from February 4-11,2023.
读之前想想看：你会想要在冬天时造访下雪的国家吗？为什么会？为什么不会？
北海道──一座位于北方的日本岛屿──拥有既寒冷又多雪的冬季。它的首府以冬日盛会──札幌雪祭──闻名。这项盛会于1950 年开办，年年举行。2019年时，超过两百万人共襄盛举。此祭典中陈列大约 4百座大大小小的美丽雪雕，其中一些大型作品有将近15 公尺高。
每一年，工作人员从札幌收集3万吨的雪来制作雕像，这些雪能够装满大约 6 千辆卡车！这些雪雕作品通常会以知名建筑、人物及事件作为外型。雪雕主场秀于2023 年 2月 4 至 11 日于大通公园展出。
