Heilongjiang rolls out new array of winter tourism activities

The northern region of Heilongjiang province has upgraded its winter tourism package and now offers custom-made tours and interactive programs for winter vacationers.

To satisfy the demands of tourists of different age groups, more than 300 events featuring folk celebrations and winter sports as well as over 4,000 art performances will be held between now and April 30, says Zhang Lina, head of the Heilongjiang culture and tourism authority.

Four routes in the province's northernmost point that take tourists to view Beiji village, a volcano, a forest, and a red-crowned crane, have been redesigned, while a special tour of the provincial capital Harbin has been upgraded, according to Zhang.
