The 41st Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival launched last Sunday, lighting up the skies with a breathtaking display of colorful drones and fireworks. Set against Harbin’s famous Ice-Snow World, the festival’s splendid opening marks the start of a spectacular winter celebration in northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province. With this year’s theme “Dream of Winter, Love among Asia,” the event ties in with the upcoming 9th Asian Winter Games and offers an exciting mix of activities that promise to captivate both local and international visitors.
