Aerial shots of Harbin Ice-Snow World Storyline The world's largest ice-and-snow theme park, the 27th edition of the Harbin Ice-Snow World, opens on Wednesday in China's Ice City, the provincial capital of Heilongjiang in the northeast. The park covers 1.2 million square meters and uses nearly 400,000 cubic meters of ice and snow under this year's theme "Ice and Snow, Fairy Tale World." It features three main landscape axes, a large-themed parade, an outdoor stage and a newly built 5,000-square-meter air-supported facility. The venue incorporates technological elements like smart lighting and AI interaction. The 43-meter-high main tower is known as the Inspiring Dreams with Ice Lanterns. With a total consumption of 39,000 cubic meters of ice, the tower is not only the highest and largest single ice-built landscape in the park, but also interprets the important concept of "ice and snow are as valuable as gold and silver" with unique design. China Media Group (CMG) has built an Ice and Snow Studio in the park's central area. The studio's exterior adopts natural ice harvested from the Songhua River, and it will be used to broadcast the beauty of the ice and snow scenery to the world. Harbin, often called China's Ice City, has turned its long, cold winters into a major tourist attraction. Last winter, the city received a record 90.36 million visitors, generating 137.22 billion yuan (about 19.37 billion U.S. dollars) in revenue -- a 16.6-percent increase year on year.
