I plan to visit the Ice Festival in 2009 and cannot arrive until about January 30. It seems 3 days maximum is enough. My question is does visiting at the end of the festival lose seeing any of these wonderful sculptures? This to me is a once in a lifetime event for any one.

Any tip or suggestions are most welcome.

I canot go earlier as I am working in Guangzhou and return to US from January 9 to January 29.
