Residents of Linyi can now enjoy year-round snow without traveling north, following the grand opening of the Qiyang Ice and Snow Kingdom in the Yihe New Area on Aug 10. Spanning 25,000 square meters, the candy-themed indoor complex features colorful Macaron pastel aesthetics, a chocolate ice slide, and a multi-level layout designed to offer an immersive escape from the summer heat.
The four-story venue features ice and snow recreation zones on the first two floors and themed hotel rooms on the upper levels. The first floor includes a multipurpose ice lake for skating and curling, scheduled snow shows, and cozy family attractions like a candy carousel. Meanwhile, the low-temperature snow zone provides authentic snow experiences with full cold-weather gear rentals. The upper-floor hotel incorporates whimsical animal designs, offering a seamless play-and-stay experience for visiting families.
Conveniently located next to the Linyi Zoo and the Qiyang Polar Ocean Kingdom, the new attraction allows visitors to experience ice, wildlife, and marine tours all in a single day. As a major milestone in Linyi's tourism strategy for 2026, the sprawling indoor complex transforms cool resources into a thriving economic driver, boosting local hospitality and enriching the city's seasonal leisure offerings.
Featuring diverse activities and a lobby that merges local Linyi traditions with whimsical candy and snow themes, this zone offers seamless amenities including self-service kiosks, lockers, a lounge, and a convenience store. [Photo/Dazhong News]
