Harbin Ice and Snow World, the glittering winter wonderland in northeast China, bid farewell to visitors on Thursday amid rising temperatures and safety precautions—but not before smashing attendance records!
Open since December 19, 2023, the park dazzled over 30,000 daily visitors—nearly double pre-pandemic numbers—with its massive ice castles, snow sculptures, and thrill-packed attractions. Crowned the world’s largest temporary ice and snow theme park by Guinness World Records , it spanned over 816,600 square meters of frosty magic.
On its final day, crowds soaked up the icy charm one last time. Kids sprinted toward the giant ice slide, begging for ‘one more ride!’ , while the nostalgic saxophone melody of Going Home filled the air. ‘It’s like stepping into a fairy tale,’ one visitor shared.
Though the park has melted into offseason memories, its legacy as a global winter hotspot burns bright.
