Zhang said Harbin does not get as hot in summer as other Chinese cities and it is a suitable place for tourists to spend their summer vacations.
To make the city a summer vacation destination, the government plans to integrate five festivals from early June to October into an overall project.
The summer festivals, including the Festival of Wetlands, which falls on June 10 every year, the Harbin Beer Festival that started on Tuesday, and the Harbin Summer Music Concert held in early August, are expected to help boost tourism, Zhang said.
In 2010, Harbin was dubbed "Capital of Music" by the United Nations, due to its long history of music education and early introduction of Western music.
The government is building more music infrastructure in the downtown area, including a concert venue, a music hall and an activity center for workers, all of which are to be completed before 2017.
Tourist Zhao Li visited Sun Island, a wetland park covering 88 square kilometers in Harbin, on Tuesday and said she was excited to experience such a massive, well-protected wetland.
"This is the first time I have come to Harbin in summer, and I never thought it was so cool here at this season," said Zhao, who traveled from Jinzhou in Northeast China's Liaoning province. "I plan to visit this city with my family next year."
