The world’s largest indoor ski centre is set to open next month in Harbin, China.  The Wanda Ski Park will have six slopes and can host up to 3,000 skiers. The center will be more than double the size (in surface snow area) of the previous record holder, SnowWorld Landgraaf in The Netherlands. It has been under construction for four years in a region of China that already hosts 50 ski resorts.

The developers hope to ride the wave of interest in skiing and snowboarding ahead of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

China is building new ski resorts at a astonishing rate. Over the next ten years, China will have more indoor ski areas coming online than any other country.
