Harbin, the frosty capital of northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, is melting hearts worldwide as its Ice and Snow Festival sparks international buzz. Visitors from Europe, Southeast Asia, and beyond are calling it 'one of the best experiences' of their lives, with over 2 million tourists flooding the city this season.
'It’s like stepping into a real-life Frozen kingdom,' said Marie Dupont, a French traveler, while snapping selfies beside glittering ice sculptures. Meanwhile, Thai influencer Nat Wongvibul praised the festival’s 'next-level hospitality,' from steaming street food to heated pavilions that combat the -20°C chill.
The event – featuring ice castles, LED-lit slides, and even snowmobile races – has become a magnet for adventure seekers and culture enthusiasts alike. Locals say this year's tourism boom reflects China’s growing appeal as a four-season destination, blending tradition with futuristic creativity.
