Earlier this week, from January 6 to 8, mayors and city reps from eight countries landed in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, for the Global Mayors Dialogue. The vibe? Chill meets chat! ❄️🧊
Highlights:
- Iconic ice & snow attractions: giant ice sculptures, illuminated snow parks and more.
- Local culture & cuisine: slurping up spicy hotpot, sampling street snacks and catching folk performances.
- Tech innovations: smart city demos, from AI-powered traffic systems to eco-friendly heating solutions.
Beyond the formal talks, participants bonded over late-night hotpot feasts and midnight strolls under glowing ice arches. It wasn't just about policy – it was about building real connections across cultures and climates. 🌐🤝
For young pros eyeing global urban trends, the event showcased how tech and culture can sync to make cities cooler – literally and figuratively. Stay tuned for more stories on city-led innovation and cross-border collabs! 🌍💡
