Though spring is nearly upon us, winter continues to linger with its chilly weather. Instead of escaping to somewhere warm, a considerable number of tourists choose to experience winter the way it's meant to be enjoyed.

Ice skating, skiing, having snowball fights -- a wide array of winter sports and activities are available in China's northernmost province of Heilongjiang.

The province continues upgrading its winter tourism packages with a host of new travel routes, cultural festivals and hundreds of events to ensure winter fun for visitors.

And, in addition to improvements in ski and hot spring facilities, Heilongjiang will stage nearly 4,000 performances involving classical music, folk songs, opera and acrobatics in its major scenic spots.
