Chad, Février 1 -- Harbin in northeast China's Heilongjiang province is dressed in silvery white. Harbin Ice-Snow World, a landmark ice-and-snow theme park built on the northern bank of the Songhua River, always bustles with excitement. Just across the river, snow sculptures wearing crowns of snowflakes and draped in pure white "snow robes" captivate crowds of tourists at the Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Art Expo.

During the recent New Year holiday, Harbin received a total of nearly 3.05 million tourist visits and achieved a total tourism revenue of 5.91 billion yuan ($834.1 million), both reaching historical high.
