As winter tourism heats up, railway ice and snow special trains are becoming a bridge that links natural wonders with cultural heritage. This winter, many regions in China are using an innovative model of "railway + ice and snow + intangible cultural heritage" to turn "cold resources" into a "hot economy," allowing tourists to immerse themselves in the unique charm of intangible cultural heritage while traveling across snowy landscapes.
On the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Heilongjiang, the singer Gulaieren, an Oroqen ethnic member, plays traditional tunes on the mouth harp, with the melody of "Ascending The Towering Xing-An Ridges" echoing through the carriage. In Xinjiang, the first Y925 ice and snow tourism special train carries over a hundred tourists across snowfields, offering performances of Kazakh dombra music and Uighur hand drum shows as part of intangible cultural heritage displays. In Jilin, the Changbai Mountain Ice and Snow Special Train has added a Manchu paper-cutting workshop, where visitors can learn to cut out "snow flower" patterns with the guidance of heritage inheritors. These routes, through the "one journey, multiple stops" model, connect scattered intangible cultural heritage projects, forming a composite experience of "ice and snow + culture."
