Last year’s celebration was attended by more than 20,000 guests and representatives from more than 10 provinces. More than 200 public and private enterprises participated in last year’s ice festival. In addition, about 70 police officers were on duty. Also, the artisans created 10 types of ice structures on the ice of Khuvsgul Lake, such as an ice town that encourages people to love mountains, water, and the earth, an ice-skating rink for children to play, and an ice structure for taking pictures and perpetuating memories.
