Ice-snow tourism booming in China as Beijing Winter Olympics approach

China Daily  

Located in the Changbai mountains, the Snow village in Heilongjiang's Hailin city kicked off its annual tourist season on Dec 29, when local temperatures dropped to around minus 20 degrees Celsius, transforming the village into a snow-capped wonderland. The Songhuahu Ski Field, a well-reputed urban ski resort in Jilin city, Jilin province, introduced night skiing sessions in 2016, and the number of participants has grown from 30,000 to around 100,000 in 2021, according to Wang Jiayu, a manager at the resort. "My homestay can accommodate over 100 guests, and tourists from south China have been accounting for 70 to 80 percent of the total," he said, noting that the homestay is already fully booked for the Lunar New Year holiday in February. "I believe that more people will engage in ice and snow sports after the 2022 Winter Olympics conclude," he said.
