Safeguarding the Ice City with Law as a Shield, Empowering the Ice and Snow Economy with Professionalism — Dacheng Harbin Office’s Legal Services Highlighted by China Lawyer

As spring returns to the Ice City, the charm of winter remains. Recently, China Lawyer (Issue 2, 2026) and China Lawyer Online jointly published the article Lawyers of the “Ice City”: Shielded by Law, Warmth in Winter, vividly capturing the perseverance and responsibility of Heilongjiang lawyers during the ice and snow season. Among them, the legal team led by Song Wanning from Dacheng Harbin Office stands out. As the “legal guardian” of Harbin Ice and Snow World, the team integrates Dacheng’s corporate culture — “Aim high, embrace all, accumulate small steps to travel a thousand miles, and build greatness together” — into every link of the high-quality development of ice and snow tourism in the Ice City, safeguarding this winter grand event with legal wisdom.

 

 

As one of the earliest established and largest partnership law firms in China, Dacheng Law Offices has adhered to the development strategy of “Global Resources, Local Wisdom” and deeply rooted in the legal service industry for more than 30 years. Based in Heilongjiang, Dacheng Harbin Office closely responds to local development needs, deeply integrates the firm’s professional advantages with the Ice City’s characteristic industries, and continuously exerts efforts in the ice and snow economy, major event services and other fields. With practical actions, it upholds the original aspiration of “Lawyers for the People” and demonstrates the responsibility of a leading national law firm.

 

• Professional Dedication: Building a Safe Legal Shield for the Ice and Snow Festival

 

When the Songhua River is covered in snow and Harbin Ice and Snow World turns into a fairy-tale castle, visitors from all over the world come to enjoy the snow. Lawyer Song Wanning’s team has already launched all-round legal services to ensure the smooth progress of the event. Led by Song Wanning, with core members including Song Ziyang, Bai Xue, Chen Xuewei and Wang Shengrui, the professional team has rich experience in cultural tourism compliance, risk prevention and control, consumer rights protection and other fields closely related to ice and snow services. It has become the most solid legal backing for Harbin Ice and Snow World, protecting every visitor’s safe journey with meticulous services.

 

“Prior risk prevention is the most effective legal service.” This is the professional philosophy firmly upheld by Lawyer Song Wanning and the core principle of the team’s service for the ice and snow tourism industry. The ice and snow tourism industry is highly seasonal, with concentrated passenger flow peaks and widespread and hidden risk points. Its operation cycle is limited to winter, requiring the reception of large-scale passenger flow in a short period. Any oversight in any link may trigger cascading legal risks and disputes, affecting the orderly development of the industry. In response, drawing on practical experience in major ice and snow projects including the 9th Asian Winter Games in 2025, the team has formed a mature and comprehensive special service model.

 

Before the trial operation of Harbin Ice and Snow World every year, the team promptly launches a comprehensive “legal health check-up”, focusing on the three cores of “contract standardization, safety prevention and control, and operational compliance” to eliminate potential risks for the scenic area’s operation. The team takes the lead in sorting out various external cooperation contracts of the scenic area to prevent potential legal risks; refines relevant rules and promotes standardized publicity by the scenic area to ensure fair consumption in response to core rights issues concerned by visitors; and provides professional compliance suggestions on key links such as high-risk project management and merchant operation to prevent various disputes from the source and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and the scenic area.

 

• Warm Perseverance: Warming the Winter with Heart, Conveying the Warmth of the Rule of Law

 

Legal services lie not in grand gestures, but in meticulous protection. This is the original aspiration of Song Wanning’s team and a vivid reflection of Dacheng lawyers fulfilling their social responsibilities. During the ice construction period of Harbin Ice and Snow World, the team was on standby 24 hours a day, providing professional legal advice on the safety protection of construction personnel and the compliant use of equipment to ensure construction safety. During the operation period, the team maintained an efficient response, promptly handling various legal demands from the scenic area and visitors, effectively resolving consumption disputes and infringement disputes, and easing travel troubles with professionalism and patience.

 

From repeatedly polishing contract terms to standardizing and improving safety signs, from rigorously reviewing compliance suggestions to carefully compiling legal publicity materials, every work of the team centers on the goal of “letting visitors travel with peace of mind and enjoy themselves comfortably”. We deeply understand that the popularity of ice and snow tourism requires not only beautiful scenery and warm hospitality, but also the protection of the rule of law; the warmth of the Ice City lies not only in steaming local food, but also in every professional and thoughtful legal service. With the warmth of legal professionals, lawyers from Dacheng Harbin Office have injected humanistic warmth into the ice and snow tourism of the Ice City, allowing visitors from all over the world to feel the peace of mind and warmth brought by the rule of law while enjoying the ice and snow.

The practice of Lawyer Song Wanning’s team in supporting the ice and snow economy is a vivid microcosm of Dacheng lawyers helping local industrial development. In the future, Dacheng Harbin Office will continue to give play to its professional advantages, deeply cultivate key fields such as the ice and snow economy and ice and snow cultural tourism compliance, continuously optimize the special legal service model, and contribute Dacheng’s strength to the high-quality development of Harbin’s ice and snow tourism and the rule of law construction in Heilongjiang with more professional capabilities, more pragmatic work style and more rigorous services.
