Winter sports in China - statistics and facts

Except for the country's northeastern provinces, the popularity of most ice and snow sports in China has long been insignificant. The geography in most regions of China is not ideal for winter sports, and the high cost of constructing and maintaining ski resorts and indoor skating venues also limited the development of the sector in the country.
