Recently, Harbin tourism has gone viral, with the terms "southern sweet potatoes" and "potato princesses" trending online.

According to Red Star News, on January 3, a staff member from the Harbin Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, and Tourism said that the bureau has designed over 100 activities for the entire ice and snow season.

According to the official account of Harbin Tourism, Harbin's tourism market was booming during the 2024 New Year holiday. Data shows as of the third day of the New Year holiday, Harbin had received a total of 3.0479 million tourists, generating a total tourism revenue of 5.914 billion yuan. The number of tourists received and the total tourism revenue reached historical highs.

According to Xinhua News Agency, Harbin has gone all out to welcome "southern sweet potatoes." First, they welcome tourists in train stations.

They also built "warm stations" in the squares, providing warm places to rest.

To satisfy tourists' desire to see flying horses on ice after the snow, they created winged flying horses, transporting visitors to "Winterfell" in an instant.

They also arranged for "school-skipping penguins" and ostriches from the polar museum.

They even invited the Evenki people to Central Street to perform reindeer herding.

When people said that the Ice and Snow World was cold, they sent handsome men to distribute hot sugar water.

To celebrate the New Year, they also brought out the traditional folk art of fire flower making.

But can you tell me why there's a hot air balloon flying over the Songhua River? Are you trying to become 'romantic Turkey'?"

They also provide sweet doufu budding to tourists, which is exceptional for northerners who usually eat salty ones.
