At 21:00 on November 26th, more than 240 tourists from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Guangdong and other places boarded the Y685/8 tourist train and set off from Harbin to Yabuli and Mohe, starting a winter invitation and cold-seeking journey. This is the first snow and ice tourist train to operate in Heilongjiang Province this winter.
The first snow and ice tourism train is themed as "Snow Country Train", which provides soft sleeper compartment service for the whole train. The schedule is 8 days, covering well-known snow and ice scenic spots such as Harbin, China Snow Country, "Arctic" Mohe, Yabuli, etc. Explore the "No.1 Snow Resort" Snow Country, enjoy the ice and snow folk experience. Go to Jingpo Lake to watch the winter fishing, feel the northeast fishing and hunting culture. Walk through the birch forest of Daxing'anling Mountains and encounter the surprise of "the most northern" in China. Get on the train and pass through the vast snowfield covered with ice for thousands of miles, enjoying the scenery of "Snow Country" all the way.
Heilongjiang Province is rich in unique natural ecology and rich in ethnic customs. It has high-quality, abundant and diverse tourism resources such as ice and snow, forests, mountains and rivers. China Railway Harbin Bureau Group Co., Ltd. has linked key cities of ice and snow tourism, ice and snow culture, ice and snow sports, ice and snow events, etc., and promoted the integrated development of "special trains + cultural tourism".
By fully utilizing the long and cold winter climate conditions and rich and diverse ice and snow resources in Heilongjiang Province, a number of tourism brands with high market recognition such as "Lindu", "Hulun Buir", "Snow Country Train" and "Katyusha" have been cultivated. Relying on transportation resources such as tourist trains and high-speed railways, the number of train trips in tourist hub cities, tourist distribution cities, characteristic tourist cities, and characteristic tourist destinations has been optimized, and a number of high-quality ice and snow tourism routes have been created, opening up more attractive "ice and snow tours" for the public and radiating and driving the upgrading of the cultural and tourism industries along the route.
In November, with the arrival of multiple rounds of snowfall and cooling weather, the enthusiasm for snow and ice tourism continued to rise. Compared with the same period last year, the average daily passenger volume of tourist cities such as Harbin, Yabuli, Mohe, and Mudanjiang experienced a significant increase, with Harbin's increase exceeding 5 times and Yabuli's increase exceeding 10 times. The "white economy" has once again activated the tourism market this winter. The special train for snow and ice tourism has received widespread attention since its launch, especially favored by tourists from Jiangsu, Guangzhou, Zhejiang and other southern regions. "South tourists go north" has become a new trend in the consumption of snow and ice tourism this winter. According to the railway department, eight tourist trains will be planned to serve tourists for snow and ice travel before the end of the year.
