Spectators watch an off-road vehicle navigate a massive, bowl-shaped ice pit in Ulanqab, North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on January 28, 2026. The event drew hordes of tourists and professional drivers eager to experience the thrill and challenge this exciting winter sport. Crafted from ice bricks, the frozen "ice pot" measures 35 meters in diameter and plunges 5 meters deep, creating a dramatic, amphitheater-like setting for the action. Photo: VCG
