Discover the Summer Wonders of Heilongjiang

As the sweltering heat engulfs much of China, a refreshing breeze from Heilongjiang Province in the northeast promises a delightful escape. Known predominantly for its enchanting winter landscapes, Heilongjiang is presenting itself as an idyllic summer sanctuary, bursting with vibrant festivals and exciting activities to explore.

Harbin, the provincial capital, known for igniting the winter travel fervor with its dazzling ice and snow festival, is now set to capture hearts in the summer. A pledge from local tourism officials reveals a season filled with entertainment and cultural immersion, aiming to showcase the cooler, serene side of Heilongjiang.

During a recent event in Shanghai, the province showcased its summer allure through captivating tourism floats and tantalizing tastes of Harbin sausages and Daxing’anling blueberries, hinting at the gastronomic adventures that await visitors.

Highlighting the summer season, Harbin introduces “charming Harbin summer” events, extending till October. Revelers can look forward to a diverse lineup including an International Beer Festival and an Electronic Music Carnival set against the stunning backdrop of the Harbin Ice and Snow World. With the unveiling of a new ice and snow pavilion featuring unique attractions like a snowflake Ferris wheel and an ice runway show, the venue continues to be a magnetic draw. The Harbin Summer Concert in August promises to enchant visitors with melodious harmony, adding a soothing touch to the vibrant festivities.

Yichun, adorned with lush forests, is preparing to welcome visitors with a blend of music and nature. Anticipate the thrill of a Forest Electronic Music Festival, embrace the joy at a Camping Carnival, or savor the excitement at a Forest Beer Festival. New exploratory itineraries including forest drives and educational tours are being introduced, offering immersive experiences in Yichun’s pristine natural beauty.

The collaborative spirit in the ice and snow economy between China and Russia is witnessing a flourishing momentum. Heihe City has rejuvenated border tourism by resuming passport services for group visitors, facilitating day trips to Russia under a mutual visa-free agreement, enriching the cross-cultural exploration opportunities.

Daxing’anling, the prime vantage point for aurora sightings in China, is brimming with activities this summer—from a vigorous Forest Cycling Race to the serene appreciation of azaleas and the challenge of a Polar Marathon. With an array of 17 different events, Daxing’anling beckons adventurers and nature lovers alike.

Boasting an average pleasant temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius, Heilongjiang stands as a natural “oxygen bar,” offering a refreshing retreat from the summer heat.
