Winter just got way more epic! 🧊 The 27th Changchun Ice and Snow New World has officially opened its frosty gates in northeast China's Jilin Province, transforming the city into a sparkling playground straight out of Frozen – minus the talking snowman.
❄️ A Playground of Ice and Snow
Imagine sliding down a 512-meter-long ice slide (that’s longer than 5 soccer fields! ⚽), wandering through glowing ice castles, and snapping selfies with intricate snow sculptures. This year’s festival – one of Asia’s largest – blends art, adrenaline, and subzero fun with light shows, ice skating, and even ice-climbing walls for adventurous travelers.
🌏 More Than Just Frostbite
Beyond the icy thrills, the festival highlights northeast China’s cultural roots through ice lantern displays and traditional performances. Local vendors serve steaming street food like tanghulu (candied fruit skewers) to keep visitors fueled. Pro tip: Pack those thermal socks! ❄️
With over 1.5 million visitors last year, this year’s event runs through February – perfect for digital nomads, snowfluencers, or anyone craving a winter escape that’s cooler than your average ski trip. 🎿
