Hundreds of residents and tourists in Heilongjiang province join a traditional activity of tossing hot water from pots into the freezing air, creating a spectacular scene as the water instantly freezes to form icy arcs and spiky "clouds", at the opening ceremonies of the first Polar Forest Ice Carnival and the 13th Winter Solstice Cultural Festival in the province's Beiji village, Mohe city, on Dec 18. The construction of "ice-and-snow sports towns" and ski resorts of large and medium sizes also continues, with the aim of attracting more tourists to the province to experience winter fun, according to the local government. Over the past five years, the province has developed an ice-and-snow industry in "Jilin style" and seen achievements in innovation, policy guidance, "breakthrough ideas", cultural confidence and the cultivation of talent, said Mu Dapeng, director of the provincial sports bureau. The province will aim to complete the construction of 100 ski resorts and a large ice-and-snow sports resort as one of the major areas that can engage 300 million people in winter sports in the country.
