I intend to learn from the coach and make a smooth transition from two boards to snow boards. Zhang Bing said that in the snow season, he and his friends will come to the Dajingshan Ski Resort almost every week to ski.
Gao Ming, the person in charge of Dajingshan Ski Resort, said: "Considering that most tourists come from the southern region and there are more children, in addition to regular skiing, the ski resort also provides a variety of snow entertainment and experience projects such as snow rings, snowmobiles, snowmobiles and snowmobiles in the children's snow play area, and is equipped with 20 ski instructors and safety officers to ensure the safety of tourists." ”

Gao Ming introduced that not long ago, Jiangsu Province's "Winter Olympics, New Year, to the Future" ice and snow party was held in Dajingshan Ski Resort, although the weather was cold, but the enthusiasm of everyone to participate was very high.
Like the outdoor ski slopes, indoor ice rinks are equally popular during the Spring Festival.

The opening of the Winter Olympics brought a tourism boom

One-legged ice car, ice hockey confrontation, ice dragon boat... With the agitation of the drums, the contestants, wearing sportswear printed with tiger motifs, slammed on the ice knife and rushed forward. Citizen Ma Xiaohui pulled his 7-year-old son to participate, only to see his footsteps step on, his body swirled slightly, and the ice knife slid out of several beautiful curves. "When I was a child, my father often took me to skate on the lake, and during the Spring Festival, I also took my children to feel it." Ma Xiaohui said.
200 kilometers south of Yinchuan, we came to Huangguchuan Village, Xinglong Township, Tongxin County, Wuzhong City, on the Loess Plateau. Tens of meters high loess hills surround the white ski slopes, and laughter is continuous.
"My heart is beating a little fast, and it's exciting to welcome the New Year in this way." Li Ming, a 34-year-old nearby villager, slid down the loess slope more than ten meters high like a slide, which is a common childhood memory of his generation, but skiing slopes, Li Ming is still the first time.
