CCTV News: As the venue, Harbin has entered the Asian Winter Games time. It is another ice and snow season. Which city is the hottest now? Harbin deserves it. According to the latest "China Ice and Snow Tourism Development Report (2025)", Harbin ranks first in the top ten cities in ice and snow tourism. Whether it is admiring ice sculptures in a world covered with silver or drinking a cup of volunteer hot ginger tea in the snow and ice, "Erbin" is using its charm of ice and fire to make tourists from all over the north and north remember this "big brother" in the Northeast. Today's "I Walking Forward with the Country" lets us enter this ice and snow world called "Erbin".

Where are the most distinctive attractions in Harbin? The Ice and Snow World is definitely on the list. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful ice sculptures or experience the exciting super slides. Both adults and children can find their own fun here.

The planned area of ​​this year's Ice and Snow World is 1 million square meters, and the amount of ice and snow used reaches 300,000 cubic meters, reaching the highest scale in previous years. In order to welcome the 9th Asian Winter Games, the ice sculpture landscape architecture incorporates many Asian Winter Games elements, attracting many tourists to check in and take photos.

Cong Peiyu, 45 years old this year, is a designer of Harbin Ice and Snow World. This is his seventh year in charge of the overall design and planning of the park. From the visual presentation of the main stage, the combination of architectural landscape and lighting design, to the location of the mobile phone signal tower, the team led by Cong Peiyu is responsible for it.

Ice sculpture landscape architecture is the core of the world of ice and snow, and also reflects the designer's craftsmanship. Cong Peiyu, who graduated from architectural design major, has rich practical design experience. How to make ice sculptures more popular among tourists is the goal he and the team have always pursued.

Cong Paiyu tells us that nowadays, they pay more attention to tourists' needs and experiences in design, keep interacting with tourists and netizens, and strive to turn tourists' "golden ideas" into a new highlight of the park. For example, last year, a tourist said he wanted to see the Terracotta Warriors and Horses ice sculptures, and this year it was arranged.

Watching the tourists' experience in the park getting better and better, Cong Peiyu felt happy from the bottom of her heart. Nowadays, he goes around the park like an ordinary tourist, checking for shortcomings and filling in leaks every detail, and strives to maintain every detail.

Check around during the day, review and summarize at night, and still working after the early morning is the norm for convoy jade. He said that he hopes that he can do better and allow every tourist who comes to Harbin to enjoy a better gaming experience.

With its unique ice and snow resources, countless tourists come to "Erbin" to experience the charm of this northern ice city; and the enthusiasm and warmth of Harbin citizens are their "traffic code" to attract tourists.

The person who greets tourists to get on the bus is Yang Wei, and he is the initiator of this loving convoy. You heard it right, all passengers who get on the bus will take his car for free. Since mid-December, as the number of tourists in Harbin gradually increased, Yang Wei led his convoy to set off at around 5 a.m. to the Red Street Morning Market, and then shuttled between various scenic spots according to the needs of tourists. When talking about the idea of ​​forming a love team, Yang Wei said that this originated from an accidental experience at the end of 2023.

An experience of helping others made Yang Wei feel unprecedented satisfaction. He hopes to pass this warmth on to more people. In this way, he pulled three or five friends to form this love team. Yang Wei said that he is both a driver and the owner of the city. Scenes like this that care about tourists and help tourists solve practical problems are staged in the fleet every day.

Behind the popularity of "Erbin" lets us see the warm side of the local government, the effective market, and the loving citizens. Is Harbin cold? It's cold, but it doesn't matter, the seats in the subway are all heated; it's snowing, and the ground is too slippery? It doesn’t matter, the floor is covered with carpets and the handrails are equipped with "red velvet"; the amount of Northeast cuisine is too large? It doesn’t matter, frozen pears, sweet potatoes and spoons, and even candied haws are turned into small strings; there are also "warm huts" created by merchants, romantic ice and snow travel photography themed trains, artificial moons at Sophia Church, and the airport upgraded and renovated locker room... In addition, this year, Harbin also proposed a pre-payment mechanism for service supervision in software.

The vast Northeast has unique ice and snow resources, and the ice and snow are also "gold and silver mountains". You can come to the white snow country to experience the fairy tale romance, or enjoy the beautiful rime in the silver-covered world; you can also stand on the ski resort to experience the speed and passion, or feel the warmth of the hot springs in the ice and snow resort. With the central government introducing a series of policies to develop the ice and snow economy, the transformation of "cold resources" into "hot economy" will bring more confidence and motivation.
