Queenstown’s snow-sprinkled peaks and pristine lakes are being recreated in a multi-billion dollar development in mainland China.
Xian city has teamed up with Australian developers Besgate Group to build a replica of the South Island ski resort in Xian Province, 1,400km west of Shanghai.
Based on terrain and weather the ski resort would be mostly low elevation with limited natural snow but it is still exciting to see China’s ski industry grow.
