Ice Slides and Sculptures at Changchun Ice and Snow New World

Changchun Ice and Snow New World is a large winter theme park at Bingxue Avenue, north gate, in the Lianhuashan Eco-tourism Resort, Erdao District, about 40 km east of central Changchun in Jilin Province, China. The park covers roughly 1.56 million square metres and is built around more than 200 ice and snow sculptures and over 70 slides, including a 1,314 m aerial snow slide and a 520 m ice slide. Activities are mostly sliding, walking and sightseeing rather than technical sport, so the park is suitable for families, children and casual visitors with no prior experience. Basic mobility is needed for walking on icy paths and climbing to slide starts, and children should be supervised on the larger slides. Equipment such as tubes and sleds is generally provided at the slides, though individual rides and some slides may cost extra; visitors need to bring warm clothing, including a down jacket, insulated waterproof boots, thermal gloves, a hat and neck gaiter, and waterproof trousers or a spare layer for slides. Hand warmers and a spare phone battery are useful because cold drains batteries quickly. Entry requires real-name registration, so a passport or ID is needed. An adult ticket was listed at ¥268 for the 2024-25 season and a child ticket at ¥220, with discounts for Jilin residents and students. Tickets are sold through Dahepiao, Trip.com and Meituan, and the official ticketing line is 400-800-7000 on weekdays from 09:00 to 17:00. The park runs a seasonal ice-and-snow bus line and an airport shuttle, as reported in 2025 promotions. Safety arrangements follow standard theme-park practice, with attendants on the slides, marked routes and first-aid support, and anyone needing hospital care would be taken to facilities in Changchun. Visitors should follow attendant instructions on slides and avoid walking on frozen water outside designated areas. The park is open from about 16 December to 28 February, with hours of 10:00 to 22:00, and opening dates should be confirmed each year. Daytime suits the slides, while the illuminated sculptures are best after dusk; a visit usually takes four to six hours.
