Snowboarders and skiers enjoy a run at the Shanghai L*SNOW Indoor Skiing Theme Resort, the world's largest indoor ski resort, during the official opening day, in the Pudong district in Shanghai on Sept 6, 2024. SHANGHAI: Shanghai opened the world's largest indoor ski resort on Friday , welcoming snowsuit-clad visitors to its faux pistes as China reported its hottest August in 60 years.
But the temperature plummeted to well below zero inside the cavernous atrium, where visitors switched from sunglasses and T-shirts into padded overalls, some opting for designer goggles or flapping bat-winged helmets."When it comes to climate, I feel like you get ups and downs in temperature - maybe every few years a hottest year comes along," she shrugged.
On Friday, the Shanghai L*SNOW Indoor Skiing Theme Resort was officially certified by the Guinness Book of Records as the world's largest, overtaking the previous record-holder - also in China, in northern Harbin. A Shanghai government report in August acknowledged that such projects"will inevitably consume a lot of energy".
