Beyond Ice and Snow: Immersive Experience of Oriental Culture

The reason why Xiling Snow Mountain stands out among numerous international winter resorts lies not only in its top-tier ski slopes but also in the perfect fusion of icy landscapes and Eastern cultural traditions. Every weekend, performers dressed in elegant China Hanfu glide through the snow, inviting tourists to experience local games like arrow-throwing and lantern riddles, opening a living window for visitors to understand China's traditional culture. The most unforgettable is the aerial acrobatic performance of flying apsaras, where actors in splendid costumes soar against the backdrop of majestic snow-capped mountains, transforming the mythological legend of "flying apsaras" into a breathtaking visual spectacle. "I came to China's south to experience the snow and ice, but gained a deeper immersion in China's culture," exclaimed Mr.Chen, who had just returned from a trip to China. "Seeing performers in Hanfu interact with tourists in the snow felt like stepping back in time. This close cultural integration surpasses the power conveyed by any book. Chengdu is famous for its hot pot and pandas, but I never imagined such a magical snow mountain outside the city. The night skiing here is unforgettable—colorful lights adorn the snowy slopes, as if gliding under the starry sky. The perfect blend of ice and snow with culture is simply astonishing."

Warmth in the Cold Night: Thoughtful Service Stands Out

Meanwhile, the reporter also interviewed another tourist, Mr.Lin, who was deeply impressed by the detailed services at the scenic spot. "When we took our children to participate in night skiing, a security guard surnamed Wang took the initiative to approach us, explaining the precautions for skiing and the ticket purchasing process in fluent English. He was both professional and patient," Mr.Lin remarked with emotion. "What warmed our hearts most was that when we were waiting for the bus at the bottom of the mountain, the staff even prepared warm tea for us. Drinking a cup in the cold weather made our whole body feel warm. Such meticulous service made us feel the warmth and hospitality of the people of China." It was precisely these details that made the journey unforgettable, and Xiling Snow Mountain excelled in making tourists feel at home.

China ice and snow tourism destination

Chengdu's Xiling Snow Mountain not only boasts the strength of professional ski slopes but also the charm of cultural experiences, along with the warmth of service details. Through the innovative integration of "ice and snow + culture + service", Xiling Snow Mountain has not only filled the gap in southern ice and snow tourism but also showcased the diverse appeal of China Chengdu as a "park city under the snow mountain" to global tourists. In the future, with the increase of international routes and continuous service upgrades, Chengdu's ice and snow tourism is expected to become a new calling card for China's cultural and tourism industry to go global.
