A poetic dialogue spanning a millennium has commenced amid the clouds and snow-capped peaks of Chengdu. On the evening of December 26, the 2025 Chengdu Winter Cultural and Tourism Consumption Season and the 26th Xiling Snow Mountain Southern Ice and Snow Festival officially kicked off at Yingxue Square in Xiling Snow Mountain, Dayi County.

This year's ice and snow season centers on the innovative revitalization of the cultural IP derived from Du Fu's verse, 'My window frames the snows of Xiling's thousand autumns'. Over the three-month winter period, the scenic area will launch 28 snow-based sports activities and present an immersive cultural project titled "Reflections of Snow on Xiling", transforming the mountain into a "poetry theater". A three-meter-tall "mecha Du Fu", blending the scholarly spirit of the Tang dynasty poet with mechanical aesthetics, will interact with visitors through poetry recitation.

Additional events include New Year's Eve blessings, Lunar New Year gift-giving ceremonies, a snowfield Guochao music festival, competitive sports weeks, and an ice-and-snow lantern exhibition. These initiatives are integrated with Dayi County's promotional campaign "Stroll Through Village Markets and Shop Local", fostering a new ecosystem that combines culture.
