Indoor ski resorts have emerged as popular destinations for people in China to escape the summer heat.

The Shanghai L+SNOW Indoor Skiing Theme Resort, the world's largest indoor snow park covering over 98,000 square meters, is seeing a steady stream of visitors in recent days.
"It's pretty cool. I'm from Singapore, where it's summer all year round. So, I really want to find indoor places to have fun. I'm planning to spend the weekend here because I have been to other indoor ski resorts, and this one seems to be more fun with more facilities and thoughtful services," said a skier.
Since its opening in September last year, this ski resort has been attracting over 6,000 visitors daily on holidays, with the booking rates of three surrounding hotels reaching nearly full occupancy. 
In cooperation with the hotels, the resort is offering service packages covering skiing and water facilities as well as discounts this summer to lure tourists.
"We have launched a service package, which has been well received by visitors, especially families with children," said Li Ling, marketing director of the resort.
In Guangzhou, capital city of south China's Guangdong Province, an indoor ski resort has built five different slopes to accommodate various skill levels, offering options for both beginners and expert skiers.
"Here, you can do both snowboarding and skiing. This place is especially crowded on weekends, with nearly half of the visitors from Hong Kong," said a skier from Hong Kong.
The resort received more than 1 million skiers last year, and nearly 30 percent were from Hong Kong and Macao, as a result of the facilitated traveling within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Meanwhile, the Gulongxia scenic spot in Guangdong's Qingyuan City has upgraded its river rafting route, making it currently the longest of its kind in Guangdong.
With a drop of 378 meters, the facility is providing numerous visitors with a thrilling experience, a beautiful scenery, and a fun way to cool off.
