Heilongjiang's Harbin makes most of icy conditions

At the famed Harbin Ice and Snow World in Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, a thermometer embedded in a towering ice sculpture has become a popular spot for tourists to visit.

The digits displayed not only reflect the frigid temperatures that make this winter wonderland possible, but also the meteorological services that support the city's ice and snow economy.

Han Jiliang, director of the city's meteorological service center, said the center provides tailored weather services for the icy attraction to ensure the safety and quality of its operation.
