China's 'Ice City' Reinvents Winter Travel With Mega Attractions
Move over, Game of Thrones – Harbin is building its own frosty empire! 🥶 The Chinese mainland's northeastern gem is doubling down on its signature ice-snow economy as temperatures drop, unveiling bigger sculptures, expanded parks, and next-level winter experiences this season.
At the iconic Harbin Ice-Snow World (think Frozen's Arendelle meets Burning Man in subzero temps ❄️🔥), workers are racing to finish jaw-dropping ice castles. This year's park has grown by 25% to a massive 1 million square meters – that's 140 football fields of glittering winter magic!
\"We're seeing record bookings from global travelers,\" says local tour guide Zhang Mei. \"Everyone wants that perfect Instagram moment balancing on an ice slide or sipping hot cocoa in -20°C.\" ☕️📸
