Locals love skiing
"The Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games have ignited more and more people's interest and their love of skiing," noted one staff member of the Yabuli Ski Resort. Some of the enthusiasts there are reportedly as young as four, while the oldest skier is 75 years old.
During the winter, hundreds of people hit the slopes every day at the indoor ski resort at Sunac Snow World in Harbin. The facility maintains a constant temperature of minus 5 degrees Celsius all year round and there are eight ski tracks there with different gradient slopes, with the highest vertical drop set at 80 meters.

Invitation from ice lantern festivals
The Harbin Ice Lantern Festival, founded in 1963, is regarded as being the birthplace of ice lantern art in China. Each ice and snow scenic area strives to create an innovative tableau every year, integrating rich elements -- including science and technology, culture, sound and light.
Harbin has reportedly topped the list of "China's top ten cities for ice and snow tourism" for many consecutive years. Driven by the upcoming Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, Harbin has now become a leader in ice and snow tourism in China.

Harbin's industries flourish
Harbin has reportedly carried out all kinds of ice and snow activities in recent years, especially promoting the development of the ice and snow equipment manufacturing industry. As a result, the cold resources of ice and snow are now becoming the region's "hot" sectors -- driving the development of the regional economy.
Adopting advanced aerospace composite materials and aeronautical design technology, a sporting goods company has collaborated with the Harbin Institute of Technology to produce professional competitive skis to different specifications.
It is understood to have promoted the high-quality development of the ice and snow equipment manufacturing industry.
