China has unveiled an ambitious plan to develop its ice and snow economy as a new economic driver, targeting a total market size of 1.2 trillion yuan (about 178.3 billion U.S. dollars) by 2027 and 1.5 trillion yuan by 2030, according to a guideline released by the State Council in 2024.

　　Leveraging the opportunity, Harbin is implementing a slew of market regulation and tourist guidance measures to continue optimizing its tourism experience, adding greater economic momentum through the use of its ice and snow resources.
