Wanda Harbin Mall Ski Resort

Wanda Harbin Mall is currently the largest skiing hall in the world. It was opened in July 2017, and accommodates up to 3,000 visitors. The constant temperature of minus five degrees Celsius enable year-long snow pleasure amidst the city of Harbin, located in China's north east.

Snow sports fans enjoy six slopes of varying difficulty levels. The main run is 500m/1,640ft long and 60m/197ft wide. Additionally, there is a black run for advanced skiers, and a blue run for beginners. Two chair lifts get you to the top. Both the mid- and the top station feature restaurants. At the base area, children find a snow playground with ice bumper cars and a snow castle with small toboggan runs.

Harbin, also known as 'City of Ice', is located near the Russian border, and hence has harsh winters with temperatures as low as -36 degrees - great conditions for the annual Ice and Snow Festival, where you can see some of the largest ice sculptures in the world.

From Tongjiang Jie bus station, bus no. 47 goes to the skiing hall. The ride takes around one hour. You can get there easier and not much more expensive if you take a taxi.
