A Diverse Ice-and-Snow Carnival Sparks Winter Enthusiasm in Benxi, Liaoning Province

BENXI, China, Dec. 19, 2025 — Organized by the Benxi Municipal Bureau of Culture, Tourism, Radio and Television, the “Hot Springs amidst Winter Winds and Snow, Warmth in Benxi” 2025 – 2026 Winter Season Series events will officially commence on December 25. Showcasing creative combination offerings such as “Ice & Snow + Hot Springs,” “Ice & Snow + Folk Culture,” and “Ice & Snow + Cuisine,” these events will emphasize the city’s unique winter travel attractions.

Benxi’s winter scenery represents a rare natural spectacle crafted by nature. Towering frozen waterfalls drape across the forests of Guanmen Mountain, crimson lanterns illuminate Manchu villages blanketed in snow, and the kilometer-long snow ring at Dabinggou Forest Park merges with ice formations resembling a frozen galaxy. Every vista embodies the serene majesty of northern China’s winter. The distinctive “fire and ice” therapeutic experience represents Benxi’s special winter attraction. Following a thrilling day skiing, guests can relax in the outdoor thermal pools at the Huaximu Hot Springs Resort, the garden-style springs at the Kangxi Hot Springs Resort, or the forest hot springs at the Fengxianggu Hot Springs Resort. Soaking in warm mineral waters as snowflakes drift down, this memorable juxtaposition makes visitors, particularly from southern regions, eager to come back. Famous as a “Manchu Culinary Landmark City,” Benxi also tempts tourists with delectable winter dishes. Hearty, fragrant Xiaoshi lamb soup, charcoal-grilled rainbow trout with a crispy exterior, and piping hot Manchu-style hot pot provide coziness and satisfaction with each mouthful, serving up genuine local cuisine.

This winter, Benxi is establishing itself as a premier winter travel spot, due to its plentiful snow and ice attractions, excellent hospitality services, and lively traditional culture. Whether it’s energetic ski venues or peaceful frozen waterfalls, from thermal spring relaxation to gourmet dining, and from traditional cultural shows to activities suitable for all ages, Benxi cordially welcomes travelers from everywhere to experience an unforgettable winter wonderland adventure.
