Speaking of Heilongjiang in Northeast China, I believe everyone knows that it is a cold place where temperatures are often below zero in winter. However, it is precisely because of this that Heilongjiang has become an ice and snow kingdom in winter. Today, I would like to recommend the top 5 ice and snow tourism destinations in Heilongjiang. Let’s take a look!
Harbin Ice and Snow World was founded in 1999. It integrates ice and snow art, ice and snow culture, ice and snow performances, ice and snow architecture, ice and snow activities, and ice and snow sports. It receives over 1 million tourists from all over the world every year. It covers a total area of 600,000 square meters, making it the world’s largest ice and snow theme park.
From late December to early March of the following year, Harbin Ice and Snow World presents the ultimate romance of ice and snow to the world: crystal clear ice and snow art sculptures, snow sculptures as white as jade, dazzling lighting effects, a visual feast of flowing light and color, thrilling and grand ice magic, ice acrobatics, ice ballet, colorful European-style ice shows, and a variety of ice and snow sports are all staged here.
Harbin Ice and Snow World has over 30 entertainment activities, where adults and children can find suitable props to play with and show off their dashing ice and snow adventures. The high-speed slide is the most popular flagship activity, and it is the ultimate goal of tourists every year. The snow tube, which combines fun and excitement, is also very popular. Entertainment activities such as children’s snow tubes, entertainment snow tubes, and parent-child snow tubes allow every tourist to experience the joy of speeding down the snow track. In addition, there are other entertainment activities such as sleds, ice sleds, and small trains, all of which are very popular among tourists.
Sun Island Snow Sculpture Art Expo
Harbin is the birthplace of Chinese ice and snow art, and the Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Art Expo is the birthplace of Chinese snow sculpture art. It is also the earliest developed and largest snow-themed winter theme park in China and an important part of the Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival. Due to its long exhibition period, high quality works, new content, large scale, and strong interactive fun, the Sun Island Snow Expo in Harbin is known as the “World’s Largest Ice and Snow Carnival”.
Yabuli Ski Resort
Yabuli Ski Resort is the birthplace of China’s first international ski school. It is the “cradle of champions” that has nurtured many ice and snow sports world champions, and it is the birthplace of ski tourism for the Chinese public. The China Entrepreneur Museum and the permanent site of the China Entrepreneur Forum are located here, making it the world-renowned “Davos of China, Yabuli of the World”.
Yabuli Ski Resort is located in the middle section of the western foothills of the Zhangguangcai Ridge in the Xiaobai Mountain Range of the Changbai Mountain Range. It covers an area of over 300 hectares. It has abundant resources, a super-long ice and snow season of 170 days, and the largest scale in China, the largest continuous drop, the longest ski runs, the most cable cars, the most scientific design, the most advanced facilities, the most diverse ski runs, and the most thrilling experience. It boasts a ski run network.
China Snow Town
Snow Town is located in the southwest of Mudanjiang City. It covers an area of 17,916 hectares and is 1,100 meters above sea level. Due to the frequent convergence of cold air from Lake Baikal and warm and humid air currents from the Sea of Japan, as well as the influence of special terrain, it has created a unique microclimate of “no three sunny days in summer and snow covering the forests in winter”. With a snow season of nearly 7 months and snow depths reaching 2 meters, the white snow takes on various shapes under the action of wind, creating a thousand different appearances, as if you are in an ice and snow fairyland, a wonderland.
Snow Town has continuously improved its brand awareness and reputation with its unique natural beauty and perfect service facilities. In October 2010, it was approved as a national 4A-level tourist scenic spot by the National Tourism Administration. It has also been awarded numerous honors, including National Civilized Village, China’s Top Ten Most Beautiful Villages, “Beautiful China” Top Ten Scenic Spots, Winter’s Most Beautiful Tourist Destination, National Tourism Service Standardization Unit, National Forest Tourism Demonstration County, National Excellent International Rural Tourism Destination, and more. It has also been included in the already issued “Beautiful China (II) Mudanjiang Snow Town” ordinary postage stamps. China Snow Town has become a tourism brand for Longjiang Forest Industry, the entire province, and even the whole country. It is captivating the world with its stunning beauty and unleashing its development vitality and endless charm!
Jingpo Lake
Jingpo Lake, the world’s largest volcanic lava dammed lake, forms an ice waterfall that is two meters thick and hundreds of meters wide in winter, like towering ice mountains. It is the largest ice waterfall in China.
In winter, the Heilongtan area of Jingpo Lake is covered with hoarfrost for miles, the winter snow is light and agile, soft and delicate, cleverly combined with mountains, rocks, and pines. “A cold wind rises at night, and ten thousand trees bloom with silver flowers”, the hoarfrost and fog grass all over the mountains are like a blooming coral world, magnificent and breathtaking.
As night falls, the lights of the ice waterfall illuminate, and in the dreamy and magical interplay of light and shadow, under the five-colored glow of the silver-romantic ice prisms, Heishi Beach is transformed into a fairyland, like a magical dream world, as if it can flow out moving melodies.
