The Shanghai L+ Snow Indoor Skiing Theme Resort, which houses the world's largest indoor real-snow skiing facility, will officially open in Shanghai's Lin-gang Special Area on Sept 6, with ticket sales beginning on Aug 8.

Spanning a total construction area of nearly 350,000 square meters, the resort integrates dining, accommodation, entertainment, shopping, and leisure activities. Its Snow World, covering more than 90,000 square meters, is the world's largest indoor real-snow skiing facility and will host around 20 snow-themed entertainment activities.

The venue features four different difficulty levels of ski slopes, including a 340-meter-long advanced slope with a gradient of 26 degrees. Additionally, the venue provides a ski slope for beginners, along with coaching courses and a teaching trail.

The resort also offers three ice and snow-themed hotels with nearly 1,000 rooms, including 17 groundbreaking "Ski-in Ski-out" suites where the guests can step directly from their room onto the slopes.

Beyond the Snow World, the resort also has a Water World spanning nearly 20,000 square meters, offering 20 water-based activities. While the indoor section will open this year, the outdoor segment is set to debut next summer.

Tickets for the resort are available on its official WeChat applet and on platforms including Ctrip, Meituan, and Douyin. The resort will offer weekday passes, peak day passes, and special peak day passes, and provide complimentary equipment rentals.

The Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022 has catalyzed the growth of the ice and snow industry in China in recent years. As a key tourism investment project in Shanghai's 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), the resort fills a void in ice and snow tourism in Shanghai and becomes a new landmark business for the city.

Having begun the internal testing phase earlier this month, Yin Kang, a representative of the resort, said: "We will carefully consider tourist feedback and continuously enhance our service experience. Our resort not only serves as an ice and snow destination in Shanghai but also extends a warm welcome to enthusiasts from across the country and around the globe upon its official launch."
