After SUN Huizhong and the Shenqiao Skating Rink and Shenqiao Ice World in Beiling Park caught on, more citizens came here."The recreation facilities here don't cost much. And the Ice and Snow Consumption Coupon activity makes more discounts available to members and trainees."

Member Lao Li, who has brought his own skates to skate for five or six years, came to SUN Huizhong to renew his membership fee this time. Mr. Sun taught Lao Li to use his cell phone to download the "UnionPay" App and receive a 50-yuan coupon. After Lao Li enjoyed the discount, the membership fee was more affordable. A pair of young parents brought their 6-year-old daughter to learn ice skating. Mr. Sun suggested that the couple each scramble for a 100-yuan coupon, and then told them how to make use of the coupon to buy lessons.

SUN Huizhong said that with the Ice and Snow Consumption Coupons to go to Shenqiao Skating Rink and Shenqiao Ice World in Beiling Park, you can not only enjoy preferential prices for renting ice sports and game equipment such as skates, ice trolleys, and ice tops, but also use them to hire coaches and renew the membership fee, which truly reflects good intentions of the government and their determination on bringing benefits of sports to the people.

Cheerful Citizens Playing on Ice and Snow

One million yuan of subsidies shows the concern of the government, enabling citizens to enjoy the fun of playing on ice and snow. According to HAO Lili, Planning Director of Shenyang Olympic Sports Ice and Snow Carnival, the Ice and Snow Consumption Coupons can be used to buy ski tickets and snow tickets of the Carnival. "For example, a 100-yuan coupon can be used to buy ski tickets with the original price of 200 yuan. After enjoying the discount, with 100 yuan you can enjoy 80 minutes of training courses given by a professional ski instructor, 100 minutes of snow practice, and 9 snow games offered by the Carnival.  It can be said that you can enjoy many hours of professional ski training and snow play at a fairly favorable price," she said.

Li Chunfang, a citizen of Shenyang, takes her son to the Olympic Sports Ice and Snow Carnival every winter. "The Snow Tube is his favorite. This year, I feel that the Carnival has introduced a lot of novel games. As he grows up, there are more activities that he feels like taking part in." Mrs. Li told the reporter last weekend she and her husband each got a 50-yuan coupon, and they spent two consecutive days at the Carnival with their son!

According to HAO Lili, the current business hours of Shenyang Olympic Sports Ice and Snow Carnival are from 9:30 am to 8:30 pm, and it will be delayed until 9 pm on holidays. "The newly introduced games this winter, such as the Time Tunnel Ice Slide, Colorful Slide, and Merry-go-round, are very popular among people, and everyone has had great fun. At 4:30 in the afternoon, the ice lanterns, colored lanterns and festive lanterns in the park are lit up one after another. What a dazzlingly beautiful view!" During the Spring Festival holiday, the Carnival will also be staged programs of entertainment such as Northeast Yangko, "Welcome all citizens to Shenyang Olympic Sports Center and have some fun with the snow and ice with the Ice and Snow Consumption Coupons!"
