WORLD ICE ARENA SHENZHEN CHINA

This Olympic size rink was the first of five being constructed in luxury shopping malls in China by China Resources Land. The second and third are in Hangzhou and Shenyang and are scheduled to open in 2010. These three plus an additional two in Chengdu and Nanning will comprise a group of Olympic ice rinks under the CR Land banner. All rinks are centrally located inside the malls and all have large off-ice areas for the public including cafe's, dance studio's and spacious office complex overlooking the rinks. Off ice areas were designed by MOK Design in Hong Kong.
