At the 2024 China Ice and Snow Tourism Development Forum held on Friday in Harbin, Heilongjiang province, Harbin Ice and Snow World was recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's largest ice and snow park, with an area of 816,682.5 square meters.

The park, which combines ice, snow, sound and lights, officially opened for its 25th consecutive year. Tourists can marvel at more than 1,000 works of art made of more than 250,000 cubic meters of ice and snow or participate in numerous activities, including a 521-meter ice slide, the longest built at the park to date.

A giant Ferris wheel in the shape of a snowflake has been built to provide a unique experience in the dazzling world after dark.
