The layout had been changed dramatically this year.  I liked last year’s layout more:  This year, most of the sculptures had been carved out of a huge sand wall, while last year had several mounds hosting giant sculptures on the left bank of the Maoluo River. Sculptures at last year’s event were vandalized shortly before the opening of the event.  This year was no different except vandals waited until after the event had started.  It was reported on the news this morning that 20 sculptures were vandalized.  I hope this doesn’t discourage the city from holding this event again next year. For more pictures check out my flickr set, a post from Mark Forman’s visit, or my post from last year’s event. [...]

I was very impressed with the sculptures, I’m sure with its popularity the county will make this an annual event.

I think these kinds of festivals are so great because they make you think of your childhood and encourage you to use your imagination. At least when I was a kid, I would fantasize about making gigantic sand sculptures when I was at the beach. They never quite turn out that way. ;)

Where’d that white sand come from, I wonder.
