The performance at the opening ceremony titled "Dream of Winter, Love among Asia" lasted approximately 22 minutes and was divided into three chapters. These chapters advanced successively from Harbin, to other parts of China, and then to Asia, demonstrating Harbin's ice and snow culture, China's passion for ice and snow sports, as well as the deep connections between the people of Asia through ice and snow sports.
