The owner of “Snowy Village,” a popular tourist attraction in southwestern China, has decided to close it due to many complaints from disappointed tourists. The snow seen in the ad photos turns out to be in fact a tall, huge piece of cotton.
The Daily “South China Morning Post” writes about tourist scams. The facility, which opened in the outskirts of Chengdu at the end of January, was to become an attraction that attracts tens of thousands of visitors.
However, “snowy villages” have become popular not because of their picturesque winter scenery. Negative comments about the objects began to multiply on social media. Tourists pointed out that the “snow” that covers the roof of the house and the forest path is actually cotton mixed with soap and water.

“To create a ‘snow covered’ atmosphere, I bought the village to make snow (…), but it didn’t have the expected effect. This gave a very bad impression to tourists who came to visit the village” – we read the statement issued by the facility manager.
China. Cotton pretended to be snowing at tourist attractions
As one of the employees explained, in an interview with “Morning Post in South China,” the decision to use cotton was made due to weather conditions. There was no heavy snowfall in this area.
– I feel fooled. I think my intelligence was offended – one of the tourists in the video recordings that were published on social media said.

Scams at popular tourist attractions are not uncommon in China. A few months ago, the media reported on a wave of criticism. This fell into the management of the Landscape Park in Henan Province. It turns out that the water was fed by a huge pipe to the local waterfall. When the fraud occurred, it was also explained by weather conditions.
Animal fraud found at the zoo becomes a real tragedy. The media has displayed many dogs repainted with pandas and zebra donkeys.
