I've been doing these trips but not bothering to post - so I'll put this in as a marker and maybe extend it later.
Due to the fact that we used to go skiing every year, but now from Hong Kong it is so expensive - and really it would be 3 children who are now the skiing age and not just one or two - I'd been feeling a bit down about it. But I'd recalled the concept of indoor skiing. The first I ever heard about it was from the Brisbane Expo at which the Swiss had an indoor artificial ski run. A few years ago in planning for a trip to Europe with Emirates I did some research on Dubai and realized that there was in fact an indoor slope there - and we did of course spend an afternoon of snow-sports there.
Someone mentioned something similar in China. I kept a mental note - but then I heard the suggestion that it was actually in Shenzhen, just across the border from HK. I found that hard to believe but finally discovered that there was such a run in the Alpine World of Windows Of The World. Therefore I planned a trip with my daughter and we spent three days there skiing. The run is just two small sections - possibly 30 seconds for the whole length - but fun none-the-less.
