Northeast China is embracing its abundant ice and snow resources to invigorate winter tourism, offering a plethora of colorful activities that attract visitors from around the globe.
Jilin Province: Renowned for its mesmerizing rime scenery formed by freezing temperatures and river mist, Jilin Province has become a winter wonderland for tourists. Visitors can explore the snowy landscapes on snowmobiles and horse-drawn sledges. The opportunity to interact closely with reindeer allows tourists to feed and photograph these gentle creatures while learning about the culture of local ethnic minorities.
Liaoning Province: Cities across Liaoning Province are hosting unique themed events that blend ice and snow resources with regional customs and sports. In Daomeng Town, Shenyang City, an ice and snow sports meeting has turned the area into a national tourist hotspot. Local villagers participate as athletes in activities such as tug-of-war on snow, skating, and ice carting, showcasing Liaoning’s distinctive cultural heritage.
“We participate in the event every year. Welcome all of you to come to our town and enjoy the winter enchantment in the new year,” said a local villager.
These vibrant festivals and activities not only provide thrilling experiences for visitors but also stimulate economic growth by boosting the local winter tourism economy.
