China Daily  

A snowboarder practices at Wanda White Mountain Resort in Baishan city, Jilin province. The New Year comes with Northeast China's coldest days, but it's also peak season for winter tourism of both conventional and unconventional sorts. With COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control in mind, Heilongjiang province is promoting a series of measures for the winter season that include the development of online tourism products, officials said recently. "The cloud has become a new mode of tourism, as the accelerated construction of new infrastructure, including 5G and data centers, provides a new driving force," said Zhang Lina, head of Heilongjiang's culture and tourism bureau. Themed "Harbin: The Pearl on the Crown of Ice and Snow", activities started in early November and will run until April, overlapping some of China's traditional holidays, said Li Geng, deputy director of the city's culture and tourism bureau.
