A sparkling wonderland of joy

China Daily  

China's geographical proximity to Siberia gives its northeastern winters a distinct bite. As the three northeastern provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning have continued to upgrade infrastructure and introduce celebrations to create immersive winter experiences, the region is now at the heart of the country's winter tourism. Sporting activities at world-class ski resorts, displays of massive ice and snow sculptures, wildlife observation, and a wealth of folk traditions are part of a rich mine of winter wonders. Technology-enabled digital culture and art experiences are also available that allow visitors to explore the microcosmic world of ice crystals and snowflakes and try their hand at building snowmen, curling, and solving lantern riddles. About 600 kilometers from Changbai Mountain, Chagan Lake in Songyuan city is offering a winter fishing and hunting experience, where visitors can enjoy folk charm.
