Chinese City Apologizes for Fake Snow in Tourist Snow Village

Apology for Fake Snow

Chengdu city in China publicly apologized for using cotton and soapy water to create fake snow in a tourist attraction called the 'snow village'. During the Chinese New Year holiday in late January, unseasonably warm weather prevented real snow from forming, leading the organizers to use cotton and soapy water as a substitute.

Visitors criticized the artificial snow, calling it misleading and poorly executed. The city offered refunds to all visitors and issued deep apologies for the deceptive advertising.

The 'snow village' has since been closed down.
