Xiangjiang Happy City (Snow World)
湘江欢乐城（欢乐雪域）
An indoor ice and snow park and water park built in a former quarry. “The snow world at the bottom of a pit” is a recent hit in Changsha.
Xiangjiang Happy City is in Pingtang, Yuelu District. It was built on an abandoned quarry. Inside the quarry is the indoor ice and snow theme park “Snow World,” where you can ski, play in snow tubes, and see ice sculptures, open year-round at a constant temperature. The complex also includes Happy Water Village, a water park, a shopping street, and hotels. Tickets for the ice and snow park cost about 200 to 300 yuan, and you need to bring or rent gloves and other gear. It suits summer escapes and families with children. It is about 20 km from the city centre, reachable by Metro with a bus transfer or by taxi.
