HOHHOT, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) — The 22nd China-Russia-Mongolia International Ice and Snow Festival opened with a grand opening at the Ice Splendor Theme Park in Manzhouli City, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, on Saturday evening.
The current festival, jointly organized by the People's Government of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Government of the Zabaikalsky Krai of the Russian Federation, and the Government of the Eastern Aimag of Mongolia, is a signature provincial and ministerial event in the field of winter tourism. It includes a series of events covering cultural exchanges, winter sports, tourism and trade, and more, and will run until early January 2026.
As the main venue for this year's Ice and Snow Festival, the 128,000-square-meter "Icy Splendor" theme park is divided into six distinct sections, each featuring ice and snow sculptures and interactive activities that panoramically recreate the development and changes of Manzhouli, from its border station to its international port. The park features not only entertainment facilities, such as ice and snow slides and snow sleighs, but also commercial areas.
The festival will include cultural and artistic exchanges involving representatives of the three countries, a beauty contest, a meeting of intangible cultural heritage masters from the three countries, a tasting of Russian cuisine, a trade fair, and a New Year's celebration in Manzhouli with the participation of a thousand representatives of the three countries.
In particular, more than 40 enterprises from China, Russia, and Mongolia are expected to participate in the cultural and tourism goods fair. An online New Year's goods festival will also be launched, designed to further stimulate interest in winter consumption through short videos and e-commerce platforms.
The planned events will fully integrate the cultural elements of China, Russia, and Mongolia. The construction of a magnificent snow and ice theme park, the hosting of remarkable cultural and artistic performances, and thematic events brimming with exotic flavor will enhance the city of Manzhouli's appeal to Chinese and international tourists.
