How to Say “Ice Dragon” in Chinese

冰龙
bīng lóng
The English phrase "ice dragon" is translated into Chinese as 冰龙 (bīng lóng).
冰龙 refers to a mythical creature that is a dragon possessing the power to control ice.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of the noun 冰 (bīng), meaning 'ice' and the noun 龙 (lóng), meaning 'dragon'.

Which one should you use?

You may also encounter 冰霜龙 (bīng shuāng lóng), which specifically means "frost dragon".

How do you pronounce it?

The romanization is bīng lóng.

Did you know?

  • The character 龙 (lóng) is so central to identity that many Chinese people identify as descendants of the dragon, regardless of the dragon's element.
  • While many Western dragons are depicted as heavy, lizard-like creatures, a Chinese 龙 (lóng) is traditionally described as a composite of many animals, including the scales of a fish and the antlers of a deer.
  • While 冰龙 is a modern fantasy term, traditional Chinese dragons are associated with water and rain rather than ice. In ancient mythology, a dragon's power was to bring life-giving rain to crops, not to freeze the landscape.
