Chinese and tourists alike until the end of August can enjoy wonderful acrobatic performances on the ice every day in Harbin, capital of Northeast China's Heilongjiang province.

The unique performance developed by the Heilongjiang Acrobatics Troupe has become a trademark of the province's tourism industry.

Based on traditional acrobatics, actors have developed a performance on the ice that incorporates tricks, figure skating, dancing and magic.

The performance also features distinctive music, costumes, props, and effects, as well as a 3D stage.
