For any one who is familiar with the winter, and grown up in the colder climes one thing that they would miss at least once in a while is the snow and the cool climes. And for those who have not seen winters, there is one place you can go in Malaysia where the atmosphere has been recreated for the benefit of those who go in search of winter in the tropics.
i-City in Shah Alam has made it possible to have winter in Malaysia. It is a tech park and is located in the out skirts of Shah Alam. For anyone keen on getting a feel of winter in the tropics, here the temperature goes down to about 5 degrees. At the Snow Walk Snow Park, the locals enjoy the winters and the cold climes while the foreigners who come form colder countries find it a little bit like home- at least the cold.
To add to the whole, winter and ice feel, there are ice penguins, ice houses, a mini bobsled run, snowmen, igloos, slides, a bar made of and many other ice sculptures which have all added to the wintry feel of the premises. At the entrance warm jackets are provided for those who get in and you can even get boots and pants as well.
At night the whole place transforms into a beautiful winter wonderland, with the trees lit up in various colours. It is an ideal place to hang out in the night with kids and family or simply to go for a simple night out to explore the wonders that technology can do and be amazed. Both the young and the old are equally enthralled by the beauty of this setting when the night falls.
That is not all, there are a number of other attractions here as well. They include a place where people can go for a laser tag game at the Laser war zone, a reptile house, and also a amusement arcade where there are a number of a games. If you want to catch a movie, there is also a cinema and a number of restaurants to grab a bite from. And if you a looking for a souvenir to bring home, there are many shops to get one too.
So, if you are staying at a Kuala Lumpur Hotel, or a Hotel in Bukit Bintang, such as Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur, a trip here would be worth it to explore how the locals enjoy winter in the tropics.
