Family holiday destination
Want to experience sub-zero temperatures, play in the snow, and ski? But I also want "not too far away from me", so I think the best choice is Karu Ice and Snow World in Shenzhen. 😎
First of all, I strongly recommend staying overnight. Although a day trip is possible, there are other activities and facilities around, and there are also many attractions in the mall. So if you want to have a relaxing time, it is definitely better to stay overnight. As for accommodation, I have two recommendations. One is a convenient choice with an excellent location, and the other is a comfortable choice with high CP value. We will discuss them in the next post. 😆
💗Shenzhen Karoo Ice and Snow World
It is an indoor ice and snow park which only opened in March last year and is (temporarily) the largest ski resort in Shenzhen.
It covers an area of about 12,000 square meters. The venue has an indoor ski hall, an ice skating rink and a snow entertainment area. The indoor ski hall covers an area of 5,400 square meters. It is the largest ski resort in Shenzhen and also the ice and snow sports training base in Guangdong Province. The temperature in the venue is maintained at -3℃ to -5℃, and simulated snowmaking technology is used, so the snow quality is close to natural powder snow. The ski trail is 20 meters wide and nearly 120 meters long, with a drop of about 10 meters. The pillar-less design makes the space very spacious, which is very suitable for novices to experience the fun of skiing. It can also be used as a venue for sports training, competitions and other popular ice and snow entertainment projects!
💗Location
"Kalu Snow World" is located in the Mission Hills Ecological Sports Community in Shenzhen. The subway station is the "Mission Hills" station on Line 4. If you depart from Futian Port, it takes about 50 minutes. Last time I took a taxi and the whole journey took an hour, so it couldn’t be faster.
💗Buy Tickets
The tickets are divided into 2/3 hour single skiing tickets and 2 hour parent-child/single snow entertainment tickets. Different websites may have different combinations, but based on my comparison, basically... there is not much difference in price between online and offline, so just buy whatever you want. I just buy the physical ticket at the door.
💗Mission Hills Ecological Sports Community
You will soon reach Mission Hills Eco-Sports Commune after exiting the subway station. The skiing/snow entertainment package includes admission to Mission Hills Eco-Sports Commune. If you have time, you can enjoy it before leaving. There are free and paid facilities inside, which are good for discharge.
💗Strategy Introduction
✅Kalu Snow World provides skiing and snow entertainment equipment, including snow suits, ski boots, snow entertainment boots, snowboards (single and double boards), helmets, etc. Equipment and clothing are available in different sizes to suit visitors of different heights and skiing levels.
✅The timer will start if you do not change clothes after entering the gate. You will have 15 minutes longer to change clothes, but you must pay attention to the time when leaving
✅If you need gloves, protective gear, etc., you can bring them by yourself or buy them on site. Before you go in, there are people selling gloves at the door, but I felt that I wouldn’t be able to use them after buying them, so I didn’t buy any. Then my hands were so frozen that they hurt, so I had to buy expensive and not very warm gloves at the venue🙈. So it’s better to prepare in advance.
✅The ski slopes in the ski area are probably beginner and intermediate, and there are no props on the slopes, so it is more suitable for beginners!
✅The snow entertainment area has more facilities than the ski area and is especially suitable for younger children. The snow entertainment area offers a variety of ice and snow activities, such as spiral slides, snow rings, sleds, snowmobiles, etc., which are very popular among children.
✅There will be many other decorations in the venue, such as ice sculptures and Arctic-style buildings, which will give the park a more icy and snowy atmosphere. There are many check-in spots where you can check in.
