Storyline: World's largest indoor ski resort opens in south China's Shenzhen [Stand_up] Xu Hua, Reporter: "This is South China's Shenzhen and this is also Shenzhen. Here in this city, freedom in the snow isn't a dream anymore." [Voice_over] From its opening day, this resort has attracted skiing enthusiasts from around the world. [Sound_bite] Landais Christophe, French visitor: "There's no snow in Shenzhen unfortunately, but as Shenzhen get money, it gets the wonderful mountain, small mountain." [Sound_bite] Chen Lu, Visitor: "We travelled from Guangzhou to experience these longer, wider slopes. The snow quality here is fantastic." [Voice_over] So, what makes this new snow resort stand out from other indoor facilities? The answer lies in its record-breaking scale and professional-grade infrastructure. [Sound_bite] Zhang Ye, Training Center Manager, Shenzhen Huafa Ice and Snow Sports: "We are the world's largest indoor snow resort, spanning 100,000 square meters. Our facility features five ski slopes, each equipped with cable cars and conveyor belts. Two of our slopes are certified by the International Ski Federation for professional competitions." [Voice_over] Beyond skiing, the project is set to become an economic engine for the Greater Bay Area. [Sound_bite] Qu Hongtao, General Manager, Shenzhen Huafa Ice and Snow Sports: "By integrating nearby business, hotel and exhibition resources, we're creating a full tourism ecosystem—skiing, shopping and accommodation combined. This synergy will boost local businesses and inject new energy into southern China's tourism industry." [Sound_bite] Wu Haifeng, Director, Center for Sustainable Finance, Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen): "This facility is not only going to attract people in Shenzhen but also people in the Greater Bay Area and the southeastern part of Asia, for example, like Thailand, like Vietnam. This differentiation will bring economic and social and cultural benefits to the whole society." [Voice_over] Here, in the heart of a subtropical city, a new winter sports scene is emerging, boosting the local economy and putting Shenzhen on the map as a global sports destination.
