Ice and Snow: Xihaizi Ice Rink Back Again
Cold winter is most suitable for ice and snow sports. The Ice and Snow Carnival of Central Green Forest Park of this year will last until February. A 6,000-square-meter ice rink and 20 ski runs are built on the site, and you can experience rich projects such as ski rings, snowmobiles, snow banana boats, snow excavators, old ice carts, and ice slides.
Skating and building snowmen in Xihaizi Park are warm memories for the people of old Tongzhou. This "childhood memory" will return this winter. The Grand Canal Ice Park will have an ice rink built in Xihaizi Park, which will be divided into four major areas: ice bicycle and ice cart mixed area, ice skate area, bumper car area, and drift car area. The periphery will be equipped with ice and snow markets and ice decoration and flower art displays. Great efforts are made to create a more joyful and diverse ice and snow experience for tourists.
Shopping at the Fair: the Grand Fair along the Grand Canal Opens in Full Swing

Zhangjiawan Grand Fair provides a complete range of product categories, specialty snacks, farm fruits and vegetables, and handicrafts are all available. Maqiao Grand Fair not only gathers various agricultural and sideline products and daily necessities, but also holds cultural activities from time to time to attract tourists from all directions for shopping.
