Harbin Ice and Snow World, established in 1999, was created by the Harbin Municipal Government to celebrate the Millennium with a spectacular ice and snow art project. With Harbin’s natural ice and snow resources as its backbone, this grand winter attraction draws over a million visitors annually.
The park has since earned numerous accolades, including the Influential Ice and Snow Tourism Destination Award, Most Loved Winter Scenic Area by Youth, Top 100 Tourism Industry Enterprises in China, Top 10 Cultural Brands of Heilongjiang Province, and the First Heilongjiang Provincial Government Quality Award. Today, Harbin Ice and Snow World is not only a shining cultural symbol of Harbin but also a world-renowned winter tourism brand.
