The beauty in Northeast China and the scenery in winter are absolutely unique. The cold of MINUS 20~30 degrees Celsius has created a magnificent style different from the fog willow in the south of the Yangtze River. The crystal world full of Qiong Yao is the most charming place in the north. In recent years, the Northeast Ice and Snow Festival has gradually become the best place to go in winter under the strong promotion of the local government and the packaging of travel agencies.

During the Spring Festival from the end of the year to the following year, the colder and more beautiful northeast is the lowest temperature season, but it also produces an alternative northbound activity, which is called the "Ice and Snow Festival" (similar to the Japanese Snow Festival). Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang Province, is the most popular ice and snow festival.

Harbin has the most abundant winter resources. Due to the high latitude and unusually low temperature, the condensed Songhua River provides abundant ice sculpture materials. Harbin will not only launch a series of ice sculpture art exhibitions in the urban area, but also build a large-scale theme park "Ice and Snow World" for tens of thousands of tourists to enjoy the enthusiasm of the north.

The arrangement of the world of ice and snow takes a lot of effort. Harbin's Ice and Snow Festival is well known, which creates amazing sightseeing achievements for the city almost every year. Therefore, the Harbin authorities are working harder every year. In addition to many large ice buildings, they also have entertainment facilities. In order to let tourists enjoy the unique environment in the north, the local ice cubes are fully utilized, and a dream paradise without steel bars and cement is created by lighting and ingenuity.

Ice sculpture activities are mainly concentrated in the "Ice and Snow World" near Zhao Lin Park and Songhua River, but leisure squares in the city center are not idle, including Shangzhi Street, Central Street, Dazhi Street, Jingyu Street, Heping Road and other eight main streets, as well as a series of "Century Celebration Carnival Week" activities, such as a parade of 5,000 people, disco performances by teenagers, singing competitions and so on. During the ice and snow festival, friends in the south should pay attention to antifreeze to avoid frostbite.
