The China Snow Town scenic area in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang province, has undergone a major transformation to welcome the new winter season, according to the Dahailin Forestry Bureau.
With the improved layout and facilities, the ice and snow festival is emerging, awaiting only the tourists from around the world.
A newly constructed riverside boardwalk stretches like a lively ribbon along the riverbank, and a 900-meter forest boardwalk ascends the mountain.

Two boardwalks now encircle mountains and waters, which not only help disperse crowds during peak times but also provide visitors with an excellent vantage point to enjoy the stunning scenery.
Fairytale cottages have been built into the mountainside. The traditional houses known as a mukeleng — built of logs coated with mud — have also been renovated to highlight the forest area's unique features. Harmonious landscape integration offers visitors a quality experience.
At night the snow town turns into a sea of joy. This year, the bureau upgraded night tour activities, including a float parade, the distinctive Northeast-style yangko dance and the "down jacket disco", all of which are expected to attract thousands.
