Often called China's "ice city," Harbin has turned its long, cold winters into a red-hot tourist attraction. At the iconic Harbin Ice and Snow World, music, dancing, and an array of cultural activities have ignited the enthusiasm of tourists despite the freezing chill. Visitors from across China and the globe can whoosh down a 521-meter long ice slide, ride a snowmobile or an ice bike, and pose for photos with giant ice sculptures. Last winter, the park attracted a record-breaking 3.56 million tourist visits during its 68-day opening.
