Nowdays the city serves as a key political, economic, scientific, cultural and communications hub in Northeast China. Benefited from Trans-Manchurian Railway (now the Chinese Eastern Railway) since 1898, Harbin still plays an important part in Sino-Russian trade. Today, the city is notable for its beautiful Harbin International Snow and Ice Festival ice lantern show and snow sculptures in winter and its legacy of Russian and Jewish immigrants and was declared a UNESCO "City of Music" in 2010.

Then the first Harbin Ice Festival held with grand ceremony at Zhaolin Park on January 5 in 1985 and was announced as an annual event lasting a month. In 2001, Harbin Ice Festival was merged with Heilongjiang International Ski Festival and got its new formal name China Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival.
