Published

on

CGTN on Monday published an article discussing how Harbin, the capital of northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, is leveraging policy support and service innovation to to boost its ice and snow tourism. It highlights the city’s growing ice and snow economy, backed by solid data, and features initiatives like the 100-day winter tourism program that enhance the visitor experience. The article also covers how Harbin is improving the experience for international visitors through measures like cross-border travel apps, easier payment options and multilingual services. From the development of ice and snow tourism to specific policy measures and service innovations, the article illustrates how Harbin’s ice and snow tourism industry is strengthening its competitiveness and driving sustainable growth.

As the ice and snow tourism season is in full swing, Harbin, the capital of northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, continues to attract a growing number of visitors. With its diverse winter activities, expanding infrastructure and local hospitality, the city remains a key destination in China’s booming ice and snow economy.

During the previous winter season, Harbin welcomed over 87 million tourists, marking a 300 percent year-on-year increase, while tourism revenue soared 500 percent to 124.8 billion yuan ($17.3 billion).

This year, demand for winter leisure travel remains strong, with Spring Festival hotel bookings up 76 percent from last year, according to Chinese travel platform Qunar. The upcoming 2025 Harbin Asian Winter Games and new winter-themed travel options have further fueled the city’s appeal.

New travel experiences drive demand

To meet the growing demand, new winter-themed train routes have been introduced, enhancing accessibility and offering unique experiences. The K974 ice and snow-themed train, launched by China Railway Nanchang Group, now connects Xiamen and Harbin, making winter tourism more convenient for travelers from the south. Another addition, the K5197 ice and snow travel photography train, features specially designed cabins that offer studio photoshoot services – a concept popular particularly among elderly travelers.

“I am 72 years old this year. I came here to experience this tourist train and the travel photography service, and it has been a wonderful surprise,” Jin Yue, a traveler from Liaoning Province, told China Media Group (CMG).

Meanwhile, popular attractions like the Harbin Ice-Snow World, continue to draw large crowds. The park, spanning a million square meters, has welcomed over 2 million visitors since December after its annual opening. This year, it incorporates Asian Winter Games elements, featuring massive ice sculptures, interactive winter activities and themed performances that bring the magic of ice and snow to life.

While the ice and snow activities are a major attraction, visitors are also interested in local culture. According to data from Meituan, one of China’s online services platforms, searches for “Kang bed-stove” experiences – a traditional heated brick bed commonly found in northern China – have risen 154 percent since November 2024. Regional dishes like “iron pot stew” are also gaining popularity among tourists. Many visitors explore local markets to experience daily life in Harbin and sample regional specialties.

“Last year, Harbin’s ice and snow tourism truly went viral, sparking a boom in tourism across the northeast region and revitalizing the ice and snow economy,” Wang Hongxin, head of Harbin’s cultural, radio, television and tourism department, told CMG.

In the 2024 calendar year, Harbin welcomed 179 million tourists, bringing in 231.42 billion yuan in tourism revenue, both marking a year-on-year increase of over 30 percent, according to the local tourism bureau.

The city’s tourism boom is part of a broader trend across China’s winter tourism industry. According to the China Ice and Snow Tourism Development Report (2025), 430 million travelers participated in ice and snow tourism during the 2023-2024 winter season, generating 524.7 billion yuan in revenue.

The 2024-2025 season is expected to see even greater growth, with projections of over 520 million winter travelers and a revenue exceeding 630 billion yuan, the report shows.

Enhanced infrastructure and tourist services

Since November 2024, Heilongjiang Province has been implementing a 100-day winter tourism initiative with 60 targeted measures to boost ice and snow tourism. These measures include new themed travel routes, cultural activities and local specialties, and improved transportation networks. Additionally, stricter market oversight aims to elevate industry standards.

For Harbin, it launched a comprehensive tourism platform, created a special tourism map for the Asian Winter Games, and established multiple tourist centers to enhance visitors’ experiences. “To strengthen market oversight, Harbin has also introduced an advance compensation mechanism and tightened regulations on travel agencies, tour guides, dining and accommodations,” Wang Hongxin told CMG.

The city’s tourism bureau has streamlined feedback processing and has boosted productivity by employing a young digital team. The team manages tens of thousands of comments daily across eight platforms, greatly improving government service efficiency over the past year. They identify key issues and forward urgent matters to the relevant departments.

For instance, when a tourist asked whether Harbin’s red sausages were raw or cooked, the market management responded immediately by posting clear usage instructions on the shelf.

To enhance the visitor experience, a cross-border travel app and expanded multilingual services have been introduced to better assist international travelers. Payment options have also been improved, with 1,391 POS machines now accepting foreign bank cards and 70 currency exchange points available at major hotels and attractions.

“One shift in Harbin’s tourism trend is from focusing on individual attractions to creating a more integrated tourism experience, with improved transportation links between sites,” Yuan Lin, a senior official in Heilongjiang’s cultural and tourism sector, told CMG. “Another is the move from single-department management to a citywide approach, with various sectors collaborating.”

Korean Beatbox Prodigy WING Launches Meme Coin Dopawing

Published

on

Los Angeles, United States, 11th Apr 2025 – Already a standout in international competitions, South Korean beatboxer WING is now making waves in the crypto sphere. A global community of fans, inspired by WING’s high-energy performances, recently launched a meme coin project called DopaWing.

Following the start of its presale, the project has quickly drawn interest from both cryptocurrency investors and music enthusiasts around the world.

Media outlets in Europe and North America note that “meme coins, once dismissed as novelty projects, are increasingly branching into entertainment to create real value.” Many observers are intrigued by the fusion of WING’s remarkable beatboxing prowess and the international fandom that’s now fueling DopaWing.

Turning Social Media Growth into Token Value

– A Fresh ‘Fan Engagement’ Model

DopaWing’s most unique feature ties WING’s social media following directly to its token rewards. Every time WING’s YouTube or Instagram audience hits a milestone (e.g., 1 million, 1.5 million, 2 million subscribers/followers), presale buyers automatically receive additional bonus tokens.

North American crypto forums have hailed this approach as “unlike anything else on the market,” pointing out that the growing influence of an artist directly boosts a coin’s value. According to the DopaWing team, “As WING’s global following surges, fans everywhere have extra motivation to get involved.”

Emphasis on Transparency and a Global Vision

– A New Trend in Crypto

According to the DopaWing white paper, 30% of the total token supply is set aside for the presale, while the remaining 70% will be transparently distributed among exchange listing fees, community rewards, and a global beatbox tournament fund.

Among these allocations, the ‘Global Beatbox Tournament Fund (10%)’ stands out. Music outlets abroad suggest that “given WING’s proven international reputation, organizing a massive global beatbox showdown seems highly feasible,” adding that DopaWing’s financial backing could be a crucial factor for success.

Moving Beyond Mere ‘Meme Coins’

– Investing in Entertainment

A European crypto analyst remarked, “Meme coins typically appeal to curiosity-driven traders, but DopaWing sets itself apart by sponsoring tangible events and competitions in the entertainment sector.”

WING’s beatbox videos have already amassed millions of views on multiple global platforms. With the DopaWing presale now underway, a new narrative is emerging in which “fandom naturally evolves into an investment force,” capturing the attention of both crypto veterans and newcomers.

‘Zero Team Allocation, Anti-Rug Pull Measures’

– Building Trust

Market volatility often casts doubt on the security of crypto ventures. To address these concerns, DopaWing’s white paper pledges zero team-held tokens and complete transparency regarding expenses.

One U.S.-based crypto analyst notes, “Meme coins can be volatile once they attract significant buzz, but DopaWing’s decision to prioritize trust could give them a stronger foundation for long-term growth—especially with a dedicated fanbase behind them.”

Taking Korean Beatboxing Global

– DopaWing’s Next Steps Under the Spotlight

Having earned multiple “world champion” titles in international contests, WING is now venturing into both music and crypto with DopaWing. On social media and various online forums, users are already asking, “How far can a meme coin created by a Korean beatbox star go?”

If the proposed global beatbox tournament, backed by DopaWing, comes to fruition, many believe it could spark a new wave of crypto-driven entertainment.

WING, already recognized as one of the world’s premier beatboxers, is now drawing fresh international attention through DopaWing. In a market that craves innovation, fans and investors alike are eager to see how the beatbox scene might expand with the help of a meme coin—and whether DopaWing can offer a fresh blueprint for merging music and cryptocurrency on the global stage.
