Plans and design programs for Harbin’s annual ice and snow events - Harbin Ice and Snow World and Harbin Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Expo - were recently revealed at a video conference organized by Sun Island Group.

Information from the conference shows that the joint theme of the 22nd Harbin Ice and Snow World and the 33rd Harbin Sun Island Snow Sculpture is the "integration of ice and snow, go together with joy".

The design of the two popular ice and snow sightseeing and entertainment events will feature cultural elements of Harbin city.

Harbin has a history of 57 years of developing its ice and snow culture, highlighting rich winter activities such as grand ice and snow sculpture competitions, ice lantern exhibitions and motorcycles on ice.

Harbin city also possesses a combined flavor of both eastern and western culture, which has helped it obtain the nickname “Eastern Moscow”.

Cultural elements from countries and regions along the Belt and Road will be included into the design.
