Harbin is the world’s best ice and snow amusement park!
You’ve probably been to lots of theme parks, maybe even some with an ice and snow theme. But you’ve never seen a whole city turned into a giant ice wonderland—that’s Harbin. In winter, the city transforms into a fairy tale of ice and snow. You’ll find snowmen on every street, some of them towering several meters high.
But Harbin isn’t just about snowmen. There’s also the world’s largest ice and snow park, Harbin Ice and Snow World; China’s biggest ski resort, Yabuli Ski Resort; the Sun Island Snow Sculpture Expo, called the art palace of Harbin’s ice and snow; and the longest pedestrian street in Asia, Central Street. These places are packed with massive ice sculptures and cool snow activities.
In Harbin, you can see countless world-class snow sculptures, try all kinds of winter sports, and taste delicious Northeastern Chinese food.
