As February 2026 blankets Beijing in snow, adventurous spirits are flocking to the revitalized winter attraction near historic Tanzhe Temple. What began as a quiet mountainous region has evolved into a carefully curated snowscape offering modern frosty entertainment while preserving cultural heritage.
Visitors this week described spinning through snow-dusted carousels and racing down 200-meter ice slides that offer panoramic views of 1,700-year-old temple architecture. "It's where ancient tranquility meets winter adrenaline," remarked Singaporean tourist Mei Lin, capturing the blend of cultural preservation and contemporary recreation that defines this year's installation.
Local authorities have implemented sustainable snow management systems to extend the season through March, with nighttime illuminations transforming the valley into a crystalline fantasy after sunset. The site's proximity to Beijing's urban center (45 minutes by express train) makes it particularly appealing for international visitors combining cultural tourism with seasonal activities.
