In northeast China's Jilin Province, ice and snow are powering more than just winter fun. They are also driving growth. Leveraging its rich winter resources, the province has developed a vibrant ice-and-snow tourism sector that links ecological experiences, folk culture and local cuisine into one dynamic industry chain. From ski resorts and winter festivals to homestays and specialty food markets, "cold resources" are being transformed into warm economic momentum. The expanding winter tourism industry is creating jobs, stimulating consumption and supporting high-quality development across the region. As snow season arrives each year, Jilin turns its natural advantages into new opportunities, showing how winter landscapes can power year-round vitality. (Photos via VCG) #ChinaSeen #ChinaAgenda2026
