Ice-and-snow attractions gear up for winter tourism surge in China’s Heilongjiang


HARBIN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 December 2024 – Trucks laden with massive ice blocks are making their way through freshly fallen snow, heading for the Ice-Snow World site in Harbin, the capital of northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province.

Tourists are skiing in Yabuli Ski Resort in Harbin city.

These massive blocks, preserved from last winter, will be transformed into spectacular sculptures for the 26th edition of Harbin Ice-Snow World, set to open in mid-December.

The event marks the return of one of China’s most iconic winter theme parks, expected to draw millions of visitors and make a significant impact on the region’s winter tourism industry.

In order to ensure the beauty of the ice-construction landscape, the ice blocks will go through a strict inspection on thickness, length and cleanliness before being used, said Yang Liu with Harbin Ice and Snow World Park Co., Ltd. More than 10,000 ice construction workers and nearly 1,000 pieces of mechanical operation equipment will enter the park for the construction process.

This year’s park will feature a large-scale upgrade and is expected to break the Guinness World Record again, reaffirming its position as the largest ice-and-snow theme park in the world.

According to sources with Harbin Ice-Snow World, the park will expand from 810,000 square meters to a massive 1 million square meters. The amount of ice and snow used will also increase to 300,000 cubic meters, further enhancing its scale and grandeur.

The number of popular ice slides will increase from 16 to 24, offering even more excitement for visitors, said Sun Zemin, deputy director of the sales and marketing department of Harbin Ice-Snow World Park Co., Ltd. He added that the ice sculptures and snow constructions this year will feature elements from the upcoming 2025 Asian Winter Games, adding a unique touch to the experience.

Harbin, known as the “Ice City,” has garnered attention on social media due to its rich ice-and-snow resources, as well as its vibrant winter tourism scene. Last year, Harbin Ice-Snow World attracted over 2.7 million visitors with its stunning ice sculptures and winter-themed attractions.

The city has long been investing in winter resources and hosting events such as winter sports games and ice lantern fairs, aiming to transform these resources into a thriving economy. It serves as a vital economic hub in northeast China and as a barometer of the nation’s snow-and-ice industry.

In addition to Harbin, the “Snow Town” in the city of Mudanjiang, located about 280 kilometers from Harbin, has also become a must-see destination for winter tourism.

Known for its long winter season and unique mushroom-shaped snow formations, Snow Town attracted over 500,000 visitors last winter. This year, the town has expanded its offerings, adding a forest pathway and riverside commercial street, and will host snow marathons and outdoor disco-dancing competitions, providing even more activities for winter lovers.

Boasting more than 50 ski trails of varying difficulty levels, the Yabuli Ski Resort is one of China’s premier ski resorts. In preparation for the upcoming Asian Winter Games, the resort has undergone significant upgrades to its ski slopes, dining facilities and infrastructure.

Yang Xiaodong, head of the culture and tourism department at the Yabuli administrative committee, said that the resort is collaborating with other tourist destinations to create several “golden” ice-and-snow tourism routes. This winter, the resort will also introduce large snow-based entertainment activities, such as alpine snow circles, snow carnivals and night skiing, to attract even more tourists.

According to Qi Bin, deputy director of the Heilongjiang provincial department of culture and tourism, the peak winter tourism season this year will coincide with the 9th Asian Winter Games, which is expected to further drive interest in winter sports and ice-and-snow tourism.

Heilongjiang is committed to supporting the ice-and-snow economy and generating growth opportunities for the local economy, Qi added.

The surge in winter tourism in Harbin is part of a broader trend across China’s booming ice-and-snow industry. Experts attribute the rising popularity of winter sports to the success of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which significantly boosted interest in winter sports and tourism.

China has unveiled an ambitious plan to grow its ice-and-snow economy, targeting winter sports, tourism and equipment manufacturing as key drivers of economic growth, with a projected value of 1.5 trillion yuan (about 208.7 billion U.S. dollars) by 2030.

About Ferrero Rocher:

Ferrero Rocher, one of the most iconic brands of the Ferrero Group, was created in 1982 in the small Piedmont town of Alba, Italy, with the desire to make all the pleasure of a sophisticated chocolate speciality accessible to everyone. Initially sold in Europe, Ferrero Rocher soon became the favourite boxed chocolate for millions of people around the world. Today, it is the world leader in its category and is sold in 140 countries across 5 continents.

Ferrero Rocher is a true symbol of Ferrero quality and excellence. It offers a unique taste experience of contrasting layers – a whole crunchy hazelnut in a delicious creamy filling, all encased in a crispy wafer shell covered with milk chocolate and gently roasted hazelnut pieces. And thanks to its golden wrapper and elegant paper cup, Ferrero Rocher is even more distinctive and special.

Each single Ferrero Rocher chocolate, with its outer coating of hazelnut pieces that gives it the appearance of a ‘small rock’, is always different from the next one. ‘Rocher’, the French word for rock, was therefore chosen as a very suitable brand name for the chocolate, together with the name of the Ferrero company.

Furthermore, Ferrero Rocher’s transparent box revolutionised the boxed chocolate market when it was first launched because people could see for the first time what they were buying. All Ferrero Rocher packaging is carefully designed to maintain freshness and quality that is the hallmark of all Ferrero products. Also, as Ferrero Rocher is bought mainly as a gift during special occasions, an attractive presentation is very important.

Ferrero Rocher is a truly loved, gifted and appreciated praline in all continents around the world. It is a unique and golden multi-sensory experience, involving sight, smell and palate. Ferrero Rocher celebrates special occasions everywhere and invites us to share life’s golden pleasures with the people we care about. Ferrero Rocher is “the golden experience” of premium chocolate confectionery.

The summit attracted professionals from various sectors, including e-commerce executives, members of the SME Association, startup consultants, technology entrepreneurs, and marketing experts, all keenly interested in the prospects of “expanding into ASEAN.”

ONE Pacific celebrated its recognition as one of the few global firms and the first in Hong Kong to receive the “Expertise in ERP” certification from Oracle NetSuite. Mr. Herman Yong, Director of ONE Pacific, stated, “Our clients from Hong Kong, mainland China, Europe and the United States have been actively expanding into ASEAN and even globally in recent years. Whether through acquisition models or the replication of subsidiary operations, achieving high transparency and efficiency in overseas group management based in Hong Kong—covering financial, revenue, fixed asset, and tax management—requires partnering with experienced professional consultants. This collaboration must extend from management to frontline teams, all implementing the same cloud ERP digital strategy.

CS Tech Introduces Hong Kong’s First Carbon Capture System

Transforming CO2 Emissions into Valuable Resources Actively Fostering Circular Economy Initiatives in Asia


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 December 2024 – Climate change is an emerging global challenge today. In addition to energy conservation and waste reduction, the world is actively developing methods to reduce industrial emissions to achieve carbon neutrality. As an international metropolis in Asia, Hong Kong plays an indispensable role in sustainable development. CS Tech Solution Limited (CS Tech), a leading innovator in the local carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies, has assembled Hong Kong’s first carbon capture system. Through integrating proprietary pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology from the United Kingdom with CS Tech’s self-developed equipment, the comprehensive CCU system efficiently transforms industrial CO2 emissions and waste into valuable resources, actively mitigating carbon emissions and promoting a circular economy.

CS Tech

Leading CCU technology to permanently sequester CO2 in concrete blocks

Amid the climate change crisis, the urgency to reduce emissions has become evident. Worldwide, extensive research is ongoing to explore various avenues for reducing carbon emissions, with a notable emphasis on carbon capture as a key focal point for future mitigation endeavours. Point source capture, compared to other methods such as direct air capture, offers a more energy-efficient and cost-effective approach. Remarkably, with the recent advancement and maturity of CCU technologies in foreign countries, CS Tech has introduced Hong Kong’s first carbon capture system, integrating advanced technology from the United Kingdom to the region. In addition to its energy efficiency, the system’s compact size makes it ideal for implementation in the Asian region. The captured CO2 is sourced from a dedicated biochar production facility. Leveraging the construction industry’s widespread use of wooden pallets for material transportation, CS Tech converts these pallets into biochar using specialized equipment. CO2 emissions produced during biochar production are captured and incorporated into concrete blocks through CS Tech’s proprietary injection system, securely sequestering the CO2 within the blocks. This comprehensive process not only efficiently reduces carbon emissions but also transforms industrial waste into raw materials for concrete blocks, fostering a circular economy. The application of this CCU technology can extend to ready-mix concrete and related products, diversifying the market for innovative, low-carbon construction materials.

Value-added to low-carbon intensity construction materials through carbon credit

The reduced carbon emissions during the production of low-carbon intensity construction materials through carbon capture and utilization technology can be accurately calculated. CS Tech is closely collaborating with the Hong Kong Carbon Trading Centre (HKCTC) to actively engage in the development of methodologies for carbon credit certification. Carbon credits, validated by independent verification bodies, are tradable on carbon markets. Hence, construction materials with low-carbon intensity can create added value through carbon credits.

Factory Tour with Singapore Waste Management and Recycling Association (WMRAS) to promote the exchange of CCU technology in Asia

To drive local research and development in carbon reduction, CS Tech had the privilege of hosting the Waste Management and Recycling Association of Singapore (WMRAS) in Hong Kong to showcase their carbon capture and utilization system. Dr. Amy Khor, Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment of Singapore, along with representatives of Singapore’s sustainability experts, visited CS Tech’s Research & Development Centre in Tuen Mun, to explore future trends in carbon management and work together towards achieving net-zero emissions.

AlphaX Revolutionizes Memecoin Trading: Trade Memes On-Chain with USDT

AlphaX has made a major breakthrough in simplifying memecoin trading. AlphaX now enables direct trading of Solana-based memecoin with USDT. By combining the advantages of both centralized exchanges and decentralized platforms, AlphaX is streamlining access to high-potential memecoins for crypto investors. This milestone provides early access to memecoins, giving traders the opportunity to enter the market before these Alpha are listed on major centralized exchanges.
Meme coins have surged in popularity, often experiencing explosive gains. However, entering the market can be challenging due to the complexities of non-custodial wallets, gas fees, and on-chain transactions. As a result, many investors wait for tokens to be listed on large exchanges like Binance, by which time much of the potential price increase has already passed.
On November 28th, AlphaX launched its Memes feature and successfully completed a small-scale seed user testing phase, receiving unanimous positive feedback. According to the insights shared by seed users, the AlphaX Memes feature has three key advantages:
  1. One-click USDT trading with no wallet setup or gas fees, simplifying the process of trading Solana memecoins.
  2. Professional charting tools with a user-friendly interface, making it easy to analyze market performance.
  3. Lightning-fast transactions that ensure trades are executed swiftly, enabling users to seize opportunities in real time.
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 December 2024 – In summary, the AlphaX Memes feature allows users to trade on-chain memecoins using USDT. Simply register with an email, deposit USDT, and start trading early-stage meme tokens with ease.
In addition, AlphaX offers generous referral rewards as a token of appreciation for users’ support. To celebrate the launch of the Memes feature, AlphaX is running a USDT Airdrop, where users can invite friends to share a prize pool of up to $500 per person. Users can also complete tasks for a chance to win rewards and earn commissions from their friends’ trades. This makes AlphaX the ultimate platform for social meme trading.

Risk Disclaimer:
Purchasing memecoins through blockchain transactions differs from traditional trading on centralized exchanges and involves unique risks. These include project rug pulls, third-party service downtime, network congestion, gas fee spikes, and price slippage.
AlphaX encourages users to thoroughly research projects and understand the nature of on-chain trading before investing. We are committed to making early-stage memecoin investments simple, accessible, and transparent, empowering users to discover their Alpha with confidence.
