Harbin, China’s northernmost major city, has transformed into a sparkling winter paradise with its legendary ice sculptures! 🧊 Known as the 'Ice City,' Heilongjiang Province’s capital attracts thrill-seekers and art lovers alike to its frozen wonderland. CGTN’s Xu Jinhui recently explored Harbin Ice and Snow World, where towering ice castles and glowing lanterns create scenes straight out of Frozen – but way cooler! ❄️
But the frosty fun isn’t new: Since 1963, locals have flocked to Zhaolin Park for its annual Winter Ice Lantern Show. What started as a humble exhibition is now a cultural icon, blending artistry with sub-zero engineering. Imagine sipping hot cocoa while wandering through corridors of ice lit like a Marvel movie’s frosty Avengers HQ! 🎥✨
International tourists are raving too. 'It’s like walking inside a diamond,' said one visitor from France. With sustainable designs (yes, they melt responsibly! 🌱), these icy masterpieces prove winter isn’t just a season – it’s a vibe. ✌️
