Located in Shexian county, Huangshan, the Xin'an River Resort has launched new experiences, giving visitors the chance to enjoy speedboat rides, close encounters with geese, and even a year-round indoor snow park.
At the trainer's call, trained geese fly gracefully at low altitude alongside speedboats.

Visitors can watch the geese fly from up close, as they reach out to touch their soft, warm feathers, feeling a rare sense of connection with nature.

Beyond the river, the landscape unfolds like a traditional Chinese painting — rippling waters, green mountains, and Huizhou-style villages — now animated by the presence of these lively birds.
Another highlight is Jiulongtan Snow World, a year-round indoor winter wonderland. The complex combines skiing, family-friendly snow play, and leisure activities.

With sparkling ice sculptures and fairytale-like settings, it's an ideal destination for family fun or gatherings with friends.
