Ice and snow culture and ice and snow economy are becoming a new driving force for Harbin’s high-quality development and a new link for opening up. We welcome you to visit this warm, open and inclusive black land, trace the footprints of Chinese modernization, and leave beautiful and unforgettable memories of ice and snow. I wish the athletes a healthy and successful year of the snake in the lunar calendar.
