Move over, Frozen—Harbin, China’s 'ice city,' is the real-life Arendelle this winter! The Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival has shattered records with its largest-ever edition, drawing globetrotters and adventure seekers to northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province. And trust us, this icy paradise is *literally* on fire (well, metaphorically).
Curious what’s fueling the hype? CGTN reporter Yang Xinmeng recently explored the festival’s crown jewel: Harbin Ice Snow World. Picture glowing ice castles , neon-lit sculptures taller than skyscrapers , and ice slides that’ll make your TikTok feed jealous.
Pro tip from Yang: Don’t miss the 1,000+ ice structures inspired by global landmarks—think a frosty Eiffel Tower meets the Great Wall. Bonus points for the après-ski vibes: warm up with guōbāoròu (crispy pork) or try ice fishing like a local!
Whether you’re a wanderlust-driven traveler or a culture enthusiast, Harbin’s frosty charm is a bucket-list must. Winter’s never been this cool.
