Shenzhen will open one of the world’s largest indoor ski domes on September 29, when Huafa Snow Bonski begins operations. The 100,000m² facility includes competition-standard slopes, training systems and recreational areas, positioning the city as a new centre for year-round winter sports in the Greater Bay Area (GBA).
Huafa Snow Bonski integrates professional venues, coaching, structured training, school partnerships and the capacity to host international competitions. The project adopts a model linking snow sports, athletics and tourism to support industry development and winter sports training in the GBA, which includes Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Macau and Guangzhou.
At the opening event, a snow performance combining skill, staging and audience participation marked the launch of the venue.
The dome has five ski slopes stretching a combined 1,569 metres. It offers a maximum vertical drop of 83 metres, a maximum slope of 18 degrees, and a single run extending 463 metres. Two terrain parks are included, and both the advanced and intermediate slopes meet International Ski Federation standards, enabling alpine parallel and slalom competitions.
In addition, a 4,000m² Ice and Snow Wonderland offers 14 attractions for visitors. Activities include parent-child participation and youth competitions.
Huafa Snow Bonski aims to attract international visitors and professional athletes through events, training programmes and recreational facilities.
