While many parts of China are griped by heatwaves, the magnificent ice and snow sculptures at Harbin Ice and Snow World in Heilongjiang province stand as a testament to the beauty of winter, offering a cool respite from the sweltering summer temperatures.

These sculptures are part of an indoor ice and snow project, the brainchild of staff at the renowned winter theme park in the Chinese "ice city." Launched on July 8, the project has already drawn thousands of tourists seeking a cool escape from the scorching weather.

"The project spans an area of 23,800 square meters and features real-time interactive installations that immerse visitors in a wintery experience," explained Sun Zemin, deputy director of the sales and marketing department of Harbin Ice and Snow World Park Co., Ltd.

He added that the project utilized 20,000 cubic meters of ice to ensure the indoor temperature is maintained between minus 8 and minus 12 degrees Celsius.

The city of Harbin has a reputation for its cool weather and diversified attractions, even during the summer months, which helps it remain attractive to tourists throughout the year.

In addition to ice and snow wonders, travelers are impressed by a range of innovative activities the "ice city" of China has to offer.
