The west side of the site is an artificial lake, the south side is a planned road, and there is a steel structure Koi sculpture inside the site.
The investor hopes to complete two ice and snow innovation projects with internal function in this area. This project is one of them, and its function is ice hot-pot restaurant. The floor area is 554m2, the height is 7m, and the span is 13m.
According to the requirements of the investor, the building must safe, the space need hold 40 people eating together. Also have the artistic function of ice and snow landscape architecture.Creating special space experience and make it one of the characteristic highlights in the park.

The design embodies the organic combination of architecture, structure and art, and explores the new possibilities of ice and snow architecture in space, technology, function and artistic expression.
The project began to operate on December 23rd, 2019. Due to the impact of the "COVID-19", it was closed on January 27st, 2020. Working for 35 days safely.
