"In trouble" Blizzard fights against "Xueshang" across the province

　　As a high-latitude and high-cold province in China, Heilongjiang has long, cold winters and overwhelming snow and ice.

The province issued 36 blizzard warnings in a row on the 19th. In the following days, snowfall continued and roads were frozen.

Blizzard caused Heilongjiang "trouble". Roads were closed and railways were suspended. Harbin Airport cancelled 265 flights on the 19th. Local residents said with a bitter smile that "Harbin is no longer the city you can come to."

　　"I have been working in environmental sanitation for more than 30 years, and this is the first time I have experienced such heavy snow." The 53-year-old sanitation worker Li Chunying was shocked by more than the snowfall. Heilongjiang's experience and speed of response to snow conditions are also amazing.

Sanitation workers and armed police soldiers took to the streets in the early morning, some businesses and residents also joined the snow-clearing army spontaneously, and shovels and kitchen knives became snow-clearing "artifacts".

　　Xu Changfu from the Rural Road Management Station of the Hulin Transportation Bureau and his colleagues fought for three days and two nights to open up 19 rural roads; at the Suifenhe entry and exit border checkpoint, the police did not close their eyes to clear the border passageway; Harbin sanitation worker Wang Meng 2 When I go out, the snow has been cleared for 10 consecutive hours...As of now, most of the main urban areas of Heilongjiang snowing cities have basically cleared the snow.

　　As the city with the largest area of ​​clear snow in the urban area of ​​Heilongjiang, Harbin’s snowfall is the largest since the beginning of winter this year.

According to Si Yingyun, head of the Harbin City Appearance and Environmental Sanitation Management Office, as of 7:00 on the 22nd, nearly 200,000 people were dispatched, about 16,000 ice and snow machinery were dispatched, and more than 110,000 snow-covered vehicles were cleared and transported.

353 Class A street roads were cleared before 15:00 on the 22nd, and Class B street roads were cleared before 6:00 on the 23rd.

　　In recent years, Heilongjiang has strictly controlled the use of snow-melting agents and used the green concept to "subtract" road snow.

In the past four years, Harbin has invested more than 500 million yuan (RMB, the same below), and the snow-clearing machinery rate has reached more than 90%, which is a leading position in China.

More than 10 cities including Shenyang, Changchun and Dalian have come to learn the experience of clearing ice and snow.

Blizzard Ice and Snow Tourism that "made a contribution" mentions "Snow Merchant"

　　Regarding "snow", there are many "cold knowledge" that the southern old iron is very concerned about and the northern old iron is not clear: 1 cubic meter of fresh snow usually contains 6 billion to 8 billion snowflakes.

According to calculations, the deepest snow cover in China is the eastern part of Northeast China. Compared with the snow in the south, the snow is more fluffy and thicker. Heilongjiang has a veritable reputation as the "Crown of Ice and Snow".

　　Therefore, Blizzard, which "gets into trouble", "made a contribution" to ice and snow tourism.

Snow falling in Harbin is the romantic "Moscow of the East". Sprinkled in Xuexiang, it becomes a lively and warm Northeast folklore New Year picture. When you spread it in the ski resort of Yabuli, you can "slide the three mountains".

　　The humorous and wise Heilongjiang people "send barrage" on the snow. The fancy fun of playing snowballs, making snowmen, and sitting on sledges made southern tourists envy. The Guangzhou partner who happened to meet Blizzard called out fortune: "I have been to so many cities. I had the happiest time in Harbin. The theme here is snow."

　　In Heilongjiang, which is good at "lighting snow into gold", the ice and snow are the golden mountains and silver mountains.

According to data from the Department of Culture and Tourism of Heilongjiang Province, in 2019, the province received 216.6652 million domestic and foreign tourists, a year-on-year increase of 19%; tourism revenue was 268.38 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), a year-on-year increase of 19.6%.

　　In early 2020, the new crown pneumonia epidemic hit the global tourism industry.

In the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the Heilongjiang cultural and tourism department promoted the resumption of work and production, and winter tourism took advantage of the blizzard "East Wind" to rise.

On the 20th, the Yabuli Ski Festival, Xuexiang Scenic Area, and China's Northest Snow Sculpture Park opened at the same time... The scenic spot was "full of snow resurrected" and tourists "snow boiling".

　　The relevant person in charge of the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism introduced: "Heilongjiang has launched five snow and ice tourism routes in the'one city and four lines' this winter to create a five-month long ice and snow season." Taking Harbin Ice and Snow World as an example, the ice and snow landscape has been fully upgraded. The ticket price has dropped from 290 yuan last year to 100 yuan. The delicious and affordable "Ice and Snow Menu" makes tourists eager to try.

　　Clearing ice and snow in exchange for unobstructed roads, carving ice and plastic snow to cook a feast of winter travel, Heilongjiang first does subtraction and then addition, which converts a word problem from "Snowshang" to "Snow Merchant".
