Each winter, Harbin's Ice and Snow World transforms the capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province into a vast "fairy-tale world of ice and snow," where the city's long, cold season becomes a celebration instead of a challenge. Towering illuminated ice castles rise from blocks cut out of the frozen Songhua River, alongside sweeping super-long ice slides, a snowflake-shaped Ferris wheel, and dazzling ice-and-snow performances inspired by the region's winter culture. Blending folk tradition with modern light shows and immersive installations, the park has grown into one of the world's best-known winter carnivals, drawing visitors from across China and around the globe to share in Harbin's unique northern charm and festive Spring Festival atmosphere.
