In the days prior to the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte of the Republic of the Philippines told the media that his daughter wished to see the ice house in China.

Heilongjiang Provincial Tourism Development Committee extended an invitation to his family through A Letter to Veronica from the Philippines as soon as they got the news.

They told Veronica that Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province, holds the world's largest "ice house" named "Ice and Snow World", a theme park with breathtaking scenic spots, a fantastic ambience and enjoyable activities.

If winter seems too far away, people can also enjoy ice and snow in Heilongjiang even in summer.

The largest indoor ice and snow park covers an area of 6,000 square meters in Harbin. It is a never-melting ice house open all year round.

In addition, on June 30, the world's largest indoor ski resort, Harbin Wanda City, will open in Harbin.

Harbin, the city well-known as China's Crown of Ice and Snow, is ready to welcome the family any season.
