The 27th Harbin Ice-Snow World, the planet’s largest ice-and-snow theme park, will open on Dec 17, 2025 at 10:00 in Harbin, Heilongjiang. Spanning a record 1.2 million square meters with 400,000 cubic meters of ice and snow, this year’s “Ice and Snow, Fairy Tale World” features three main landscape axes, a large-scale themed parade, an outdoor stage, and a new 5,000-square-meter air-supported pavilion, plus smart lighting and AI interactivity. The lineup includes the Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival opening ceremony, international ice-sculpture contests, snow football and ice hockey, and a New Year’s Eve concert. Tickets are available via the park’s official WeChat account and platforms including Meituan and Alipay. A promotional adult ticket of 298 yuan runs Dec 17–23, after which the standard price of 328 yuan applies. Beyond the park, Harbin is also promoting the 1.5-million-square-meter Sun Island Snow Expo and a Songhua River ice-and-snow carnival with around 260 snow sculptures and 60 ice-and-snow entertainment projects.
