SHENYANG, China, Feb 20 (Bernama) — Just during the Chinese lunar New Year of this year, tourists over the whole country had an ice and snow feast in Benxi, Liaoning province. According to Benxi Municipal Government, Benxi has created an innovative ice economy to successfully solve the common tourism problem of “half year hot, half year idle” in northern cities, transforming “cold resources” into “hot economy”, and playing a “song of ice and fire”.
On Feb. 13th, 2019, Benxi Ice and Snow Carnival was held in Huaxi Mu International Hot Spring Resort. Chen Kefeng and his friends, tourists from Shenzhen, Guangdong province, had been “fully armed” on the ski slopes. “We specially come here for this big drop, which is international level,” Chen Kefeng said.
