04:05Shanghai has officially unveiled the world's largest indoor ski resort, the L*SNOW Indoor Skiing Theme Resort, located in the Pudong district. This massive facility, spanning approximately 350,000 square metres, offers a year-round skiing experience, with the skiing area covering over 90,000 square metres.
Footage filmed on Thursday shows visitors enjoying the resort’s various activities, including snowboarding, skiing, and even snowball fights. Gondola lifts carry guests to the summits of four slopes of varying difficulty, including a 340-metre advanced slope with a 26-degree gradient.
Zhang Jing, a visitor, shared, "I heard this was the largest indoor ski resort in the world and decided to come from Yiwuzhen to experience it. It’s incredible to have this in Shanghai."
Liu Min, a first-time skier at the resort, remarked, "I haven’t skied yet, but looking at the slope, it seems quite steep—better than I expected."
The resort is not just about skiing; it also offers a European-style plaza for snow shows and is set to expand with a water park and additional entertainment options. This development marks a significant boost to Shanghai's tourism sector, with expectations to attract millions of visitors annually.
Amid concerns over climate change affecting natural ski slopes in northern China, indoor resorts like L*SNOW are gaining popularity, offering a controlled environment for skiing enthusiasts. Zhang Jing commented, "Indoor resorts like this might encourage more people to venture outdoors to ski in the northern and north-western regions of China."
With its unique combination of recreational activities and large-scale investment, L*SNOW is poised to become a key attraction, driving local economic growth while setting new global standards for indoor skiing experiences.
