Harbin brings winter indoors in height of summer_我的网站

A |     Alejandra Palacios found herself moving from summer heat to winter chill in just a matter of minutes. One moment, she was strolling in almost 30 C warmth in summer clothes; the next, she was bundled in a thick down jacket as the temperature plunged to around minus 10 C.    Inside an ice-and-snow pavilion at Harbin Ice-Snow World in northeastern China, the Nicaraguan visitor wiped the fog from her phone lens to reveal an ice-carved castle and cathedral glowing in violet-blue light. Snowflakes drifted down as tourists swooshed down ice slides on rubber tubes.    "They've brought winter into summer, and carved the ice into something so magnificent and delicate. It's astonishing," she said.    Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang province, is known as China's "Ice City" for its freezing winters, ice sculptures and winter sports. After the outdoor section of Harbin Ice-Snow World, the world's largest ice-and-snow theme park, closed this February, its indoor ice-and-snow pavilion took over, offering visitors a cool escape from the summer heat.    According to Sun Zemin, deputy marketing director at Harbin Ice-Snow World, the pavilion opened in the summer of 2024. The 23,800-square-meter venue maintains an interior temperature between — 8 C and — 12 C and uses about 20,000 cubic meters of ice.    "The pavilion features natural ice harvested from the Songhua River in winter and preserved at low temperatures in sealed storage, as well as colored ice, bubble-free ice and frozen roses made by ice-making factories," Sun added.    Those who visit the park can also enjoy indoor ice shows that combine figure skating, acrobatics and live music.    Ashley Martinez Aponte, a visitor from the Dominican Republic, lingered long after the performance had ended. "It was such an unforgettable show. I think everyone should come and appreciate this piece of art on ice," she said.    The park's operator said that the pavilion's single-day visitor count exceeded 5,000 at its peak this summer. The park draws not only domestic tourists escaping the heat from southern China, but also travelers from Singapore, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea and other countries.    Beyond the ice sculptures, shows and rides, off-season winter sports are emerging as a new draw for Harbin's summer tourism — a fresh way of turning its winter chill into a hot season attraction.    At a year-round indoor ski resort in Harbin's Songbei district, beginners have been learning turning and braking with coaches this summer, while seasoned skiers race down the slopes, kicking up clouds of snow.    Lin Shuyue, a senior student from Xiamen in East China's Fujian province, recently visited Harbin with her classmates on a graduation trip. Though they have access to indoor ski slopes back in the south, they made a point of adding this ski resort to their itinerary.    "You can ski indoors in the south too, but it just doesn't feel the same as the 'Ice City'," Lin said, adding that with greater vertical drops, more advanced slopes and the city's immersive ice-and-snow culture, skiing in the height of summer here is a truly unique experience.    Spanning around 80,000 sq m, the indoor ski resort features eight slopes of varying gradients, with a maximum vertical drop of 80 m. It's the perfect venue for skiers of all skill levels. Thanks to its year-round temperature control and snow-making systems, ski training and recreation are no longer limited by the weather outside.    "We are committed to making winter sports accessible all year round, creating all-season, all-age ice-and-snow experiences," said Song Guangxu, who is in charge of the resort. In addition to daily operations and ski instruction, the facility also helps sustain visitor flows by hosting professional competitions, family-oriented events and public ice-and-snow experience programs.    These indoor ice-and-snow projects are weaving themselves into Harbin's broader summer tourism market, fueling a travel boom during the peak season. Travel platform data shows that flight bookings from major cities across the country to the "Ice City" have surged since late June, driven by a combination of graduation trips and family summer getaways, with young travelers making up a significant share of the city's summer visitors.    Li Zhuomin, deputy director of the Harbin city bureau of culture, radio, television and tourism, said the city is building a more stable year-round supply of ice-and-snow products through projects such as indoor theme parks, ice-art exhibitions and indoor ski resorts.    China's ice-and-snow economy exceeded 1 trillion yuan ($147 billion)in 2025, according to a report released this year by the China Tourism Academy. Indoor ice-and-snow complexes have become one of the most active investment categories in the sector, further breaking down the climatic and seasonal constraints on ice-and-snow consumption.                    。北京时间1月15日，在联邦贸易委员会（FTC）指控高通公司滥用其市场支配地位的情况下，高通公司与苹果之间的专利许可费纠纷被曝光。

B | 高通公司表示，该公司的技术对于iPhone的正常运行至关重要。但苹果认为，每部iPhone 7.50美元的许可费远远超过了高通公司本身的价值。据证词显示，2006年，时任苹果首席执行官的史蒂夫•乔布斯（Steve Jobs）并不反对向高通公司支付相当于每部iPhone 7.50美元的许可费。

C | 但苹果首席运营官杰夫•威廉姆斯（Jeff Williams）表示，在2012年协议到期时，许可费可能上涨，威胁到苹果的利润，并导致重新谈判。”“高通公司用枪指着我们的头，”他在联邦贸易委员会和高通反垄断案中对美国地区法官露西·科尔说。这听起来可能不算多，但我们每年销售数亿部手机，并支付数十亿美元的许可费。”这一许可费是联邦贸易委员会指控高通滥用其在全球智能手机市场的主导地位的关键。高通公司表示，其专利是所有现代高速移动数据网络的基础。授权费已成为高通公司的主要利润来源，使其能够为技术开发提供资金，并帮助高通公司成为业界领先的芯片制造商。FTC和高通公司的客户认为，高通公司的技术只是智能手机对消费者如此具有吸引力的一部分，但它通过向消费者收取过多的费用来欺负他们。

D | 高通公司反驳说，该公司的技术是手机的基础，手机的许可费相对较低。高通公司表示，它的技术决定了手机如何有效地访问高速数据，如果没有高速数据，iPhone只是一个昂贵的iPod。

E | 高通公司坚持继续向该行业的其他部门提供技术，其实践符合行业规范。与每部iPhone高达793美元的平均价格相比，7.50美元只是一个软膏。

F | 但考虑到iPhone的销量，苹果公司要支付累积的许可费。2015年，高通公司的授权收入达到79亿美元的峰值。在最近的一个财政年度，高通公司的授权部门赚了51.6亿美元，当苹果停止支付许可费时，就赚了。上一财年，苹果售出2.17亿部iPhone。
