Focus has been put on integrating sports elements with winter tourism, as the Chinese government expects 300 million Chinese to get involved in winter sports before the Games.
Snowboarding, skiing, snowfield football and marathons have all been planned for and events are being staged all across the province to spice up winter tourism activities.
In particular, special attention is being paid to Yabuli, a place known for skiing. Heilongjiang aims to transform the region into an international winter tourism resort.
The 2,800-meter sliding chute is a perfect site for daredevils. It allows visitors to experience a thrilling ride over 48 twists and turns.
