Passion for ice-and-snow sports fires up industrial fervor in northeast region

China Daily  

Tourists visit an ice and snow park in Harbin, Heilongjiang province, in February. Liu Chang, collector of the skates, said the "relics", known as "Heilong Blades", were designed for speedskating and were manufactured by the Heilongjiang Ice Skate Factory back in the 1950s, making these some of the earliest domestically produced speedskating blades in China. Liu said the nation's former heavy industry heartland saw the emergence of numerous steelmakers back in the day, among which was the predecessor of the Heilongjiang Ice Skate Factory, namely — Heilongjiang Hardware Factory. Heilongjiang later managed to accelerate its industrial transformation, and its ice-and-snow economy — nurtured by the lasting winter sports culture — gained momentum, thus injecting vitality into ice sports equipment manufacturing. Li Mingyang, head of the company's technology quality department, said by capitalizing on the booming ice sports and tourism markets, the company has grown into one of China's largest manufacturers of ice-and-snow equipment.
