As the vast land in Northern China is locked in ice and snow, the hillsides and lakes of major parks all take on new looks to function as ice and snow paradises. Old and young enthusiastically participate in various ice and snow activities, such as rolling snowballs, making snowmen, having snowball fights, whipping tops on ice, riding ice sleds, stepping on ice to skate, etc. Warm smiling faces can be seen everywhere, and joyous laughter can be heard far away. In some parks, loong boats are even carried onto the ice to launch “loong boat ice racing” events. The “showy” activity allows people to witness “fast and furious” spectacles on ice.

The “loong boat ice racing” not only retains the skillfulness and competitiveness of traditional loong boat racing, but also innovates and extends the forms, enriching the connotation of ice and snow sports, and driving more and more local citizens and tourists from other places to engage in ice and snow activities.
