An indoor skiing theme resort in Shanghai has rolled out a series of ice‑and‑snow activities to attract both local residents and tourists during the three‑day New Year holiday starting Thursday.
Giant snowmen, fluttering snowflakes and thick blankets of snow have transformed the venue into a wintry landscape.
Organizers have also arranged a variety of interactive games to add to the festive atmosphere.
"We played snowball fights and built snowmen, letting us from the south feel the joy of the winter in the northeast," said Zhang, a visitor.
Adding to the attractions, a scheduled penguin parade features a group of penguins waddling through the icy setting. Their clumsy steps and playful antics allow visitors to observe the animals up close and experience the vitality of polar life.
"It feels like we've come to Antarctica. There is vibrant entertainment, performances and interactive experiences. It's much more diverse. Previously, we planned to visit the northeast, but now we can experience the ice and snow here in Shanghai, which is also a very good experience," said Wang, another visitor.
