An investigation is underway in southwestern China after tourists at the Chengdu Snow Village project in Sichuan province claimed they were deceived with fake snow made of cotton wool and foamy water. Despite being promoted as real snow, an on-site investigation confirmed the reports were true, leading to the village’s closure as officials investigate suspected false propaganda. The Chengdu culture and tourism bureau has ordered the attraction’s owner to dismantle the fake snow scene and offer refunds to guests. The village has apologized on social media and promised refunds due to warm weather in the region necessitating the use of fake snow. Users on Wechat shared images of the fake snow, criticizing the deception and emphasizing the importance of transparent advertising by tourist attractions. The bureau has pledged to strengthen supervision and guidance of tourist attractions to prevent similar incidents in the future.
