I would like to say that winter tourism is a "conspicuous package"
Harbin Ice and Snow World is definitely a
In order to entertain friends such as "Little Potatoes" and "Sandang Orange"
from all over the world
we directly created the "World's Largest Ice and Snow Theme Park"
"The World's Largest Ice and Snow Theme Park"
It also successfully challenged the Guinness World Record
The overall planned area is 810,000 square meters
A total of 250,000 cubic meters of ice and snow are used
Such a large ice and snow world
Where does the ice come from?
What is the ice harvesting process like?
Follow the editor to get closer to the ice harvesters behind the ice and snow fairy tales
Heavy snow meets the ice
Every December
When the ice thickness on the Songhua River
reaches 0.3~0.4 meters
It is the golden period for ice harvesting
The day of heavy snow is also a local festival Ice Harvesting Festival
As the first ice comes out of the water
a large number of ice bricks will be produced one after another
and sent to the Ice and Snow World construction site
The "ice boss" on the Songhua River
Tang Weidong - the veteran ice harvester
is mining on the Songhua River. For 29 years,
is the "ice leader" of the ice harvesting team
Where is the quality of the ice layer
What kind of ice cannot be harvested
He knows everything
The "ice leader" on the ice rink
must ensure that the work of each position is safe and smooth
, advance in an orderly manner
and also deal with possible emergencies on the ice rink
The secret of ice harvesting
According to the ice specifications of the Ice and Snow World
A piece of ice is about 1.6 meters long and 0.8 meters wide
The weight exceeds 1,000 kilograms
Every day at 4 o'clock in the morning before dawn, the professional ice harvesting team starts work.
01
Sawing ice
The ice harvesting team must first pull wires on the ice to measure distance
and then use the modified ice cutting machine
to cut.
After preliminary cutting
The huge ice layer turned into small checkerboard-shaped squares
02
Fried ice
In order to separate the checkerboard grid
, "ice plows" were used.
The ice pickers each had one in hand
and lined up in a line along the ice line
to unify the rhythm. , smash the ice hammer down with all your strength
"explode" the ice layer into ice rows
03
break the ice
After going through the previous steps
the ice picker stands on the ice row
Use the ice hammer to break the ice row piece by piece
In this way, ice bricks were born.
An ice pick weighs more than 20 kilograms.
You must always pay attention to the accuracy.
Be careful of the ice pick hitting your feet.
04
Scooping ice.
Finally, the ice pickers will use planing hooks or hooks
to separate the pieces. The ice floating on the river
is sent to the ice machine
The forklift then moves the ice cubes onto the truck
and transports it to the ice and snow world
The ice is stored in the first year for the next year
Do you think that the ice harvested in the current year can only be used in that year?
Of course it is not
The local area will also select an additional batch of high-quality ice cubes for storage
for use in the ice and snow world in the coming year
They are covered with thick plastic sheets and straw curtains
to ensure that the ice bricks can survive the summer safely
In the winter after the next year,
can also be used for construction.
Today, the popularity of ice and snow entertainment
makes ice mining no longer just a profession.
, but a kind of pride, a bit of pride.
It is the kind of
"inside" of ice harvesters. The spirit of "burning in the cold winter"
has created more amazing scenes every year.
The frozen Songhua River
is the "one acre of square field" of the ice harvesters
, and each ice brick
is the harvest of the ice harvester. The harvest of stubble
Their efforts have built
people’s romantic longing for the ice and snow world
This passionate rush to the ice and snow feast
is also an infinite gratitude to the gifts of nature
