Stroll through Bloor and Yorkville to admire the glass-like ice sculptures.
Although the ice sculptures in Yorkville community in Toronto cannot compare with those in Harbin, on the commercial street of Bloor running east-west, you can not only feel its prosperity, but also enjoy the ice sculptures of this winter.
Yorkville is located in downtown Toronto. There is a Yorkville boulder on Cumberland Street, which should be the most prominent symbol of the community. In the summer, many people sit on the stone to rest, and it is not far from the Bay subway station exit. This commercial street is not big, with characteristic restaurants and some trendy brand stores on both sides.
Let's start strolling from this place. There are really a lot of people here, and the ice sculptures seem small and few. Under the bustling street lights, for those of us who live in mostly rural areas, it's been a long time since we've experienced such a city atmosphere and crowd. Actually, most of the ice sculptures are advertisements for major companies, such as the shoe ice sculpture for luxury brand store Holt Renfrew, the counter ice sculpture for Balzac's coffee, and the circular ice platform around them, which attracts people to linger and take photos.
Turn onto Bloor Street, where every 50 meters or so there are many ice sculptures on display. Here we can see cute castles, princess dresses, Pegasus, elegant carriages, dragons, mermaids, strongmen, Cupid, and more. Walking among the luxury brand stores, the ice sculptures of Yorkville in 2023 are worth a visit.
