During the heavy snow season, most parts of China enter a cold winter, with increased chances of snowfall or snow accumulation, bringing a boom to ice and snow tourism. Xinjiang features wonders like the "snow mushrooms" of Kanas and the "ice bubbles" of Sayram Lake. Inner Mongolia's Hulunbuir Grassland presents scenes of "thousands of miles of ice sealed, tens of thousands of miles of snow drifting," and the Genhe Oroqen Reindeer Tribe offers a unique charm. Heilongjiang's Harbin Ice and Snow World and Mohe's Arctic Village are popular tourist destinations. In Jilin, you can admire the rime on Rime Island and experience winter rafting on Changbai Mountain. Liaoning offers views of the frozen sea in Jinzhou and the beautiful sight of white snow reflecting off the red walls at the Shenyang Imperial Palace. Some southern regions have milder temperatures during the heavy snow season, making them ideal for winter escapes, such as Sanya in Hainan, with an average annual temperature of 25.5°C, where you can enjoy sunshine and beaches. There's also Lijiang Old Town in Yunnan, with a pleasant climate that lets visitors experience unique ethnic customs and winter warmth. You can head to Yabuli Ski Resort in Heilongjiang, the Olympic Park in Yanqing, Beijing, or Wanlong Ski Resort in Chongli, Hebei, to experience the thrill of skiing. The ice sculptures at Harbin Ice and Snow World and the ice lantern exhibition at Longqing Gorge showcase the charm of ice and snow art. The bitter cold cannot dampen the passion for travel.
