Lingang emerges as a new sports tourism destination   2024-10-22

 

 

A new skiing resort and outing facilities have made Pudong's Lingang neighborhood a new Yangtze River Delta sports tourism destination.

Nearly 180 outdoor sports enthusiasts from Shanghai and the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui participated in the 11th Yangtze River Delta Sports and Leisure Experience Season in Lingang this week.


Shanghai L*SNOW Indoor Skiing Theme Resort is the world's largest indoor ski facility.

The participants skied at the Shanghai L*SNOW Indoor Skiing Theme Resort and competed in a city orientation competition at the Navigator Rowing Club, Duoyun Bookstore, and table tennis and tennis centers.

Guinness World Records recognized Shanghai L*SNOW Indoor Skiing Theme Resort as the world's largest indoor ski facility when it opened last month.

The vertical drop inside the snow world is nearly 60 meters, with three ski slopes totaling nearly 1,200 meters in length and a snow entertainment area.


Sports enthusiasts from neighboring provinces pose at the Haichang Ocean Park in Lingang.

"It's great that we can enjoy our time in a snow world without leaving the Yangtze River Delta region," Li Xing, who is from Jiangsu, remarked.

"There are several museums and entertainment parks nearby. I'll bring my family with me next time," he said.

Lingang was hosting the Shanghai International Popular Sports Festival when he was visiting. Li and other visitors participated in interactive activities, tried new sports, and watched fireworks at the festival.


Duoyun Bookstore was one of the city orientation competition stops.

Sports officials in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui have collaborated on the Sports and Leisure Experience Season since 2014 to improve sports industry cooperation and create a sports-leisure-consumption market.

This year's Experience Season had seven stops, with Lingang being the sole one from Shanghai. Other stops were Ningbo, Zhuji, and Wuhu.
