Harbin Ice and Snow World: A Magical Feast of Ice and Snow

In the snow-covered northern city of Harbin, the 26th Harbin Ice and Snow World, themed "Dream of Winter, Love among Asia," will open in the winter of 2025. Covering an area of 1 million square meters and using 300,000 cubic meters of ice and snow, this ice and snow kingdom is not only the largest ice and snow theme park in Asia, but also a sub-venue for the opening ceremony of the 9th Asian Winter Games. The magnificent landscape of ice sculpture art and Asian multiculturalism showcases Harbin's ice and snow charm and open-mindedness to the world. Ice and Snow Wonders: The Ultimate Fusion of Art and Technology This year's Ice and Snow World is inspired by the iconic landscapes of the 42 member countries and regions of the Olympic Council of Asia, creating the largest ice building group in history. The towering "Dream of Winter" main tower, with silk as the design image, achieves a visual shock of rigidity and flexibility through parametric nonlinear technology; the ice-sealed rose wall, the snow-shining Olympic theme area, and the Silk Road neon ice sculpture group perfectly combine the agility of ice and snow with the depth of culture. At night, the sound and light interaction technology makes the ice sculptures shine with magical brilliance, as if you are in a sci-fi world when the "Clock of the Century" strikes and the petals of the ice building change light with the rhythm. Immersive Experience: From Speed Slides to Warm Stations Visitors can unlock a variety of ice and snow activities here: • Speed and Passion: Challenge the 320-meter-long ice slide and experience "ground flight"; or try the U-shaped snowboarding and snow tube slides to feel the thrill of adrenaline rush. • Technology and Romance: Travel through virtual and reality in the "Ice Dragon Pearl VR" pavilion, or freeze your winter wishes in front of the "Wishing Wall." • Warmth and Food: The Four Seasons Amusement Park offers indoor entertainment, and the Ice and Snow Food Pavilion gathers global flavors, making warmth within reach in the cold. Service Details: Harbin's Warmth to Break the Ice The park is known for its humanized service: from warm tips and multilingual guide maps before entering the park, to color-coded locker management and late-night ice building maintenance teams, every detail reflects the hospitality of "beautiful scenery and warm people." Customer service staff are always ready to answer questions, and volunteers guide visitors throughout the park, ensuring a worry-free experience. Cultural Core: 26 Years of Ice and Snow Legend Since the first Ice and Snow World in 1999, Harbin has been famous worldwide for its ice sculpture art. This year's event integrates the spirit of the "Belt and Road" and the Asian Winter Games, telling cross-border ice and snow stories through themed areas such as the Silk Road and the Snow Dragon. The reconstructed Yingxian Wooden Pagoda and Baroque-style Swan Lake in the park are not only the pinnacle of craftsmanship but also a dialogue of culture.
