Harbin in northeastern China, is known for its cold winter and amazing ice sculptures (雕塑). Over the years, the city has changed itself into a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world to its Ice and Snow Festival.
According to He Jing, the director of the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, Harbin’s hot tourism this year is not just a coincidence (巧合), but the result of a year’s careful preparation. Since the beginning of 2023, the city has been developing plans to improve the tourism industry and attract (吸引) attention from all kinds of social media platforms.
She said, “We stand in the shoes of tourists. We pay special attention to the comments (评论) under the videos they post on social media platforms. Whatever the tourists complain about, we take immediate action to improve.”
To help tourists who are not used to cold weather, Harbin has set up many temporary (暂时的) heated places for them and provides free hot drinks. Local specialty frozen pears are cut into flower shapes to attract tourists. The city even placed a large man-made moon above the Saint Sophia Cathedral for tourists to take fashionable photos. It served tourists with all small details to let them feel comfortable and respected.
Touched by these “small details”, tourists share their heartwarming moments online, attracting more tourists to the city and pushing Harbin to the top of hot topics on the internet.
This warm-hearted and careful service towards tourists attracted over 3 million tourists to Harbin during the 2024 New Year holiday.

When I was a boy, most people didn’t go to other countries for their holidays. Some rich people went to other countries, but most people stayed in Britain. They didn’t travel by plane and a lot of people didn’t have a car. They travelled by train or bus. We only had one holiday a year. My parents worked in a factory. In August, the factory always closed for two weeks and all the workers took their holiday then. We always went to Brighton for our holidays. We didn’t stay in a hotel. We stayed with my aunt and uncle. They lived in Brighton. We didn’t have a lot of money, but we had a good time. We played on the beach with our cousins and swam in the sea. We didn’t have a lot of things, but we enjoyed ourselves. ——John |
We usually have two holidays a year—a long holiday in the summer and a short one in the winter. We have fun on holidays. We take our long holiday in July or August when we aren’t at school. We go away for two weeks and we always go to a different place. We go to somewhere in Europe—usually France or Italy, but last year we went to Greece. We also take a holiday in winter for a week or ten days. We usually go to warm places, like the Canary Islands or the Caribbean, but last winter we went skiing in Slovenia. It was great fun. We always travel by plane when we go to other countries and we stay in hotels. However, a lot of my friends go camping. ——Sarah |

【推荐3】Perhaps you have seen photos of the Grand Canyon(峡谷), the great valley in the State of Arizona. But you must go there yourself to feel its true size and beauty. The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world.
The Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over millions of years. Slowly, the river cut down through hard rock. At the same time, the land was rising. Today the canyon is 1.5 kilometers and 445 kilometers long. The oldest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than 1 billion years old. The width varies(改变) from about 200 meters to 29 kilometers across. The top of the canyon is about 2,300 meters above sea level on the South Rim, and about 3,000 meters on the other side. As a result, there are different kinds of plants and animals on opposite sides of the canyon. The South Rim is dry desert country. The North Rim has tall forests.
The canyon looks different at different times of day, and in different seasons and weather. At sunrise and sunset the red, gold, brown and orange colors of the rocks are especially clear and bright. In winter, the canyon is partly covered with snow.
The view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the best. Most visitors come here and stay in campgrounds or hotels. Every point along the canyon's edge offers a different view.
The North Rim of the Canyon is quieter. It takes all day to drive there from the South Rim because there is only one bridge across the Colorado River. On the way, you go through Navado Indian lands, and a colorful pink desert called "the Painted Desert".
