At 11 a.m. on December 18, Harbin Ice and Snow World officially opened.
Many visitors waiting for the opening of the park lined up outside the park early at 9 o'clock.
Ctrip data shows that from December 1 to December 14, 2023, the search volume of Harbin Ice and Snow World on the platform increased by 11 times compared with last year, and increased by 215% compared with the same period in 2019.
This year's Harbin Ice and Snow World covers an area of 810,000 square meters, with a total of 250,000 cubic meters of ice and snow, and nearly 1,000 ice and snow landscapes.
On the first day of opening, 40,000 people poured in today, which shows that it is hot!
However, at noon on the 18th, less than 3 hours after the opening of Harbin Ice and Snow World, the number of reservations has reached 40,000. Harbin Ice and Snow World issued an announcement saying: In order to ensure the quality of tourists, the sale of tickets on December 18 will be suspended, and tickets will be sold normally tomorrow (December 19).
Official tips: Arrange the play time reasonably and travel at a staggered peak!
In fact, because there were too many people, the project was not fully opened, which caused a crowded flow of passengers.
Many tourists who queued for hours without reservations for the Ferris wheel and the big slide gathered at the visitor center to demand a refund.
The specific reason is that there are only three reservation items, so many tourists from other places do not buy it!
The winter traffic came to Harbin, and the hastily picked up customers when the project was not ready, bringing the worst experience to tourists.
As a tourist attraction, many people live in more expensive hotels and air tickets, and have spent thousands of dollars, just to play for so many days, but the result is a big fanfare, but it backfires, and it is reasonable to give tourists a refund.
Here's what the announcement about the suspension of ticket sales on December 18 says:
Dear Tourist Friends:
The number of reservations for Harbin Ice and Snow World today (December 18) has reached 40,000, and in order to ensure the quality of your play, the sale of tickets for December 18 is now suspended.
Tickets will be sold normally tomorrow, please arrange your playing time reasonably and travel at a staggered peak. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Tourist message: If the tourist is cold, one to ten, ten to hundred, there may be no one to go!
The refunds are all people who can't enter the Ice and Snow World, and it is normal to ask for a refund. There were nearly 100,000 people today, and 70,000 people in the near field, and finally the flow was limited. That's why there is a refund. The point is, why did you open the park so early this year, and if you are not ready, what are you doing at this time?**Compiled from upstream news, interface news, etc.
