When the ice and snow top "Erbin" meets the Asian Winter Conference, the stadium is full of vitality inside and outside. In the field, athletes challenged their limits and interpreted the competitive beauty of ice and snow sports. The two-person simultaneous simultaneous sporting aerial skills of two-person curling, ski mountaineering and freestyle skiing have entered the Asian Winter Games for the first time, improving the diversity and viewing of ice and snow competitions. Outside the field, ice and snow activities such as "Caitou Ice" and Ice Breaking Ice Cracks on the Songhua River were known to more people. Traditional folk ice and snow activities and modern sports competitions complement each other, enriching the ice and snow culture together.

From the Beijing Winter Olympics to the Harbin Asian Winter Games, China's "ice and snow fever" spread all over the country. Behind my country's ice and snow competition projects have achieved success, ice and snow sports have not only crossed Shanhaiguan, but also deepened the "South, West, and East" strategy, and have a deep mass base. For example, international ice and snow events such as the World Cup of Short Track Speed ​​Skating, World Figure Skating Championships, and Ice Hockey League have been held in southern provinces and cities such as Shanghai, Guangdong, Yunnan, and Chengdu in recent years, allowing more people to have close contact with the "Ice and Snow Dream" without any temperature difference. Xiong Shirui, who won the big snowboard championship at this Asian Winter Games, made her mark in the 4th National Fitness Ice and Snow Season and the "National Winter Olympics" Ski Open in Sichuan Province, vividly interpreting "adhering to the integrated promotion of competitive sports and mass sports and promoting the sustainable development of my country's ice and snow sports."

Ice and snow are also mountains of gold and silver. Just like the athletes leaped high on the field, my country's ice and snow economy has also leaped to a new level. In the three years from the Winter Olympics to the Asian Winter Games, China's ice and snow industry has reached a trillion yuan mark, and the number of ice and snow leisure tourists is expected to exceed 500 million. Many leading technologies used in this event, such as more environmentally friendly artificial snow-making technology, ultra-fine wind field image speed measurement technology, application of new aerospace materials such as carbon fiber to ice and snow equipment, have greatly improved the operational efficiency and viewing experience of the event, demonstrating the booming development prospects of the ice and snow industry.

The ice and snow season drives "hot consumption" in many places, and tourists experience snow circle projects in ski resorts

It is worth mentioning that the development of the ice and snow industry has also given birth to new occupations and new positions. The demand for talents in the ice and snow field such as snow track planners and snowboard maintenance engineers who have just been included in the national new occupational occupation has shown a rapid increase, which not only improves the professional and technical content of my country's ice and snow industry, but also provides employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for more people. The ice and snow economy is playing an increasingly important role in promoting rural revitalization, local economic transformation, and achieving sustainable and high-quality economic development.

Although this Asian Winter Conference has come to an end successfully, the development momentum of the ice and snow economy in my country is still heating up. Riding on the east wind of the Asian Winter Conference, "cold resources" will continue to release the "thermal effect" and promote my country's ice and snow economy to accelerate development.
