In the natural environment with a lot of ice and snow, Harbin people put emphasis on investigation of ice and snow resources from the cultural point of view. On basis of constant exploration on their historical origin and accumulation of new experiences, a unique ice and snow culture has been created.

Harbin People love ice and snow, love excitement, and more fond of culture. During the Ice and Snow Festival each year, at the same time when Harbin people show their fine ice and snow works, they also add new contents to ice and snow culture.
