How stunning are the butter sculptures of Ta'er Monastery?

Those exquisitely crafted butter sculptures, those lifelike birds and beasts, those detailed pavilions and towers, those vivid human sculptures... The annual butter sculpture exhibition at Ta'er Monastery is about to 'bloom' again. This sculpture art, known as one of the 'Three Wonders of Ta'er Monastery,' will once again await visitors from all over the world in the cold season. How are butter sculptures made? 'Making straw figures,' 'creating embryos,' 'applying plastic,' 'plating'—these are the basic steps in making butter sculptures. To prevent the butter material from melting and deforming due to the warmth of their hands during the process, the artisan monks work in workshops where the room temperature is controlled at zero degrees Celsius. Each of them has a basin of ice water beside them, and they occasionally dip their hands in the ice water to lower their hand temperature, showcasing their meticulous craftsmanship in the details. Smooth butter, blooming flowers, vibrant colors, devout artisans... The process of making butter sculptures is like a painting. Admiring the blooming butter sculptures, every year new designs are introduced. During the Spring Festival, the butter sculpture exhibition will arrive as scheduled. Also, from February 9th to February 25th, hundreds of events in Huangzhong await you~
