Changchun Ice and Snow World, a crown jewel of northeast China's winter tourism, opened its gates on December 19, 2025, offering visitors a mesmerizing 760,000-square-meter wonderland of illuminated ice sculptures. The park's 1.56-million-square-meter complex transforms into a crystalline dreamscape after dark, with intricate frozen artworks glowing under strategic lighting.
This year's edition emphasizes sustainable design while maintaining traditional ice-carving craftsmanship, blending modern LED technology with hand-chiseled architectural replicas. Local authorities report early ticket sales have already surpassed last season's figures, signaling strong recovery in China's winter leisure economy.
Business analysts note the attraction's opening coincides with increased regional infrastructure investments, including new high-speed rail connections to major cities. The development positions Jilin Province as a growing hub for cold-weather tourism innovation.
