Family, have you heard about the Northeast Lao Tie "seeking welfare" for the people of the whole country recently?
In the past, when you watched a cross talk performance and shouted for a refund, people would tell you that you wanted to be beautiful, and the refund gate was in Afghanistan.
It's different now, and some netizens on the Internet will tell you:
The refund gate is in Harbin.
Presumably everyone has heard of the refund of Harbin Ice and Snow World.
What the hell is going on here?
Let's take a brief look at the timeline.
On December 18, a large number of tourists shouted "refund" at the Harbin Ice and Snow World.
The reason is that many people queue up outside for hours and don't play the entertainment inside.
The events here refer to the Big Slide, Ferris Wheel and Ha Ice Show, all of which are free items that come with the ticket.

If you want to say that there is a long queue in the scenic spot, it is too normal, after all, even the Internet celebrity restaurant waits for a two-hour start;
Not to mention that on the same day, 40,000 visitors poured into the ice and snow world within 3 hours of opening.
What is the concept of 40,000 people?Universal Studios Beijing has the highest single-day visitor flow of 50,000 this summer.
Some netizens think, you know that you can't fit these old people, why do you still sell so many tickets?
Some netizens also revealed that not all of the 40,000 people made appointments online.
Among them, many tourists arrived at the scene, and strongly asked to buy tickets to enter the park under the mayor's ** and knock on the ticket window.
The specifics are unknown, at least the official is decent, and from beginning to end there is no entry into the melee.
However, we have to say that it is an objective fact that some tourists have a bad experience.
For example, the management in the park is chaotic, no one cares about the queue, and even some employees directly become scalpers and arrange queues for a fee
The amusement project does not strictly implement the reservation system, and those who have not made a reservation can play when they arrive, and those who have made a reservation will not be able to play in the back.

Then there is the fuse of the whole thing.
In addition to the big slide and Ferris wheel, the entrance of the Harbin Ice Show was also crowded with people.
Everyone was waiting to enter the closed gate, but there was no movement until long after the show.
It was freezing and snowy, and some people gradually lost their patience, and there was no staff to explain and deal with it during this period.
Later, the crowd was restless, and someone called the staff to come out, but to no avail, so they shouted "refund the ticket".
On December 19, Harbin Ice and Snow World*** issued an apology, saying that it would deeply reflect on the poor service and rectify it overnight.
The next day, additional manpower was assigned to the park;A full refund was given to some visitors who purchased tickets on the spotThe reservation system was changed to a queue system, and ginger tea was given to tourists in the queue.
So far, there is no problem with the way Harbin Ice and Snow World handles it.
The real problem lies in the two kinds of people in this ** battle:
The first type is the person who bounces the ticket in bad faith.
The second type is to indiscriminately attack tourists and netizens, and even deliberately provoke confrontation between the north and the south.
Let's just talk about how much does it cost to play in the ice and snow world with a white face?
*The price is 323, and the student ticket can also be discounted at half percent.
In good conscience, this ticket price is not expensive.
There is also a clear reminder when purchasing tickets, if the free items are not played, the official will not refund the tickets.
After all, Ice and Snow World is not an ice amusement park, but a large-scale ice sculpture exhibition.
So you said that those ice sculptures have been watched, shot, and even free projects have been experienced and have to be refunded, isn't it a bit too unkind.
In Xiao Shenyang's words, you don't have one, we have to take one when it's over
There are even a handful of "enthusiastic netizens" who have launched a white prostitution tutorial.
There are also news reports, in addition to malicious refunds, there has also been a wave of non-delisting, and enough fun to return down jackets and snow boots.
This kind of individual behavior has also been elevated to the group.
The war between the North and the South is about to break out, and you say, "Why don't you say that the southerners will make money", and he says, "It's not like you in the Northeast who make money and sell it miserably."
But I think we should jump on it
The tug-of-war of pulling.
There is no need for everyone to participate in this kind of war of words, and don't take regional discrimination as a **, because in the end, it will definitely react to yourself.
What kind of existence is Harbin Ice and Snow World?
As a southerner who has only seen **, I would like to call it the northeastern version of Monument Valley, and it would be false to say that I am not impressed.
And it can be seen from the grand queue of the big slide on December 23 that after experiencing the refund incident, projects such as the big slide are still very popular.

It is true that southerners have never seen such a big scene of ice and snow, and they do not know much about the art of ice sculpture.
In addition, there is poor information, on the one hand, foreign tourists do not know if they want to play ice and snow projects, in fact, Harbin has other places to go except for the ice and snow world;
On the other hand, the anchor room and some marketing accounts are promoting the amusement projects of the ice and snow world.
Some southern tourists said that the big slide and Ferris wheel were the keys that took her to knock on the door of Harbin, and it is an exaggeration to say that she came with a pilgrimage mentality.
What about the ice and snow world for the people of the Northeast?
Northeast Xiao Li said that it is the business card of Harbin.
Northeast Xiao Wang said that it directly led the ice sculpture trend in the Great Northeast.
Northeast Maverick said that over the years, he has fused with the ice and snow world into an identity symbol.
"It's equivalent to you coming to my house, I have to make dumplings. Let the guests have a good time in the ice and snow world, which is the hospitality of the Northeast people. ”
How much the Northeast wants everyone to have a good time.
Ice and Snow World is the only large-scale handmade intangible cultural heritage ice sculpture exhibition in the world, there is no machine carving, and it is all handbuilt by ice carvers outdoors at minus 30 degrees.
Even the work of ice mining on the Songhua River is still done purely by manpower.
However, the annual operation cycle is only about 80 days, so the construction cost can be said to be sky-high.
Station B also has an UP master who records the whole process of the ice and snow world from ice mining to completion.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is creating a dream that is destined to be in vain.
As the trump card industry of Harbin's tourism industry, some data show that the ice and snow world is still losing money every year.
According to netizens, 21 years of profit 1400 million, while the total investment is 3.5 billion.
However, the reason why Ice and Snow World "doesn't care" about its own profits and losses is to drive the tourism economy of the entire Harbin, so it has to grit its teeth and spend money.
And since yesterday, the subway from the Sun Island Scenic Area to the Ice and Snow World has been free of charge, and the airport has unified the control of prices.

My colleague in Heilongjiang said that there is nothing left in the poor Northeast Province, but enthusiasm is enough.
They welcome not only tourists from other places, but also children from the Northeast.
Some local netizens said that every year, a snow sculpture of the King of the Earth will be built in the northeast corner of the ice and snow world to bless the safety of the people of Harbin.
When the Ice World closes, all the ice sculptures will be removed, and only the Bodhisattva Snow Sculpture will let it melt naturally.

There is a word in the Northeast dialect called "open bright".
If you want to eat chickens to kill chickens, if you want to eat geese to kill geese, if you want to see ice, you will be given a whole big ice house.
If there is a place that is not well taken care of, listen to the persuasion, and it must be changed.
So as guests, we shouldn't really take this bright light as a nest. 100 help plan
