A Singapore developer known for its upmarket condominiums has inked a deal to build what it says will be the world's largest integrated indoor winter resort in Shanghai. Called Winterland Shanghai, it will boast the world's longest indoor ski trail, KOP Properties said in a statement. The resort will cost 13.5 billion yuan (S$2.8 billion) to build. Chairman Ong Chih Ching told The Straits Times, however, that the project will offer more than just winter activities. The ski resort area will be connected to other facilities within the development including a water park, a tree-lined hiking trail and a "beach club" - an arena resembling a beach - at 100m above ground, she said.
