In Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province, an expansive ice-and-snow park has become a magnetic draw for visitors. The park dazzles with colorful activities and stunning winter scenery, offering an enchanting retreat for families and adventure seekers alike. Thrill-seekers are particularly delighted by the opportunity to slide down snow-covered slopes and ride snowmobiles and even tanks, adding an adrenaline rush to their holiday celebrations.
The outskirts of Taiyuan are equally lively, with numerous ski resorts welcoming a surge of guests during the peak season. These resorts provide not only exhilarating sports but also a chance for people to connect with nature and enjoy the serene beauty of the snowy landscapes.
“It’s an incredible way to start the New Year,” said Li Ming, a local resident. “Engaging in these winter sports brings joy and excitement, and it’s wonderful to see so many people coming together to celebrate.”
The growing popularity of ice and snow tourism in northern China reflects a broader interest in winter sports and outdoor activities.
