Snowy fun

Visitors can have fun in above-the-ankle snow, and even have a snowball fight with the park's mascot, the Pink Koala. At the same time, the nighttime outdoor light and water show "Lake of Illusions" is in full swing these days, which brings visitors pleasurable experience based on water curtain, fountain, music, full-color laser, 3D image and fireworks.
