Abstract:

In order to fully exploit the advantages of ice-snow resources of Liaoning province, scientifically develop and plan cold region ice-snow resources, the meteorological data of 61 stations were used to evaluate the suitability of ice-snow climate resources in Liaoning province using statistical, qualitative or quantitative indicators and other analytical methods.The results show that ice-snow resources are distributed in all parts of Liaoning province, and are the richest in the eastern mountainous area.The western Liaoning province has less snowfall and a long icing period.Whereas, there are relatively few ice-snow resources in the coastal areas of Dalian.The suitable temperature and sunshine conditions and low wind speed are in favour of the outdoor ice and snow activities in the area with the rich ice-snow resources in winter.The risk of meteorological disasters such as high temperature inducing snow melting, fog, strong wind and low visibility is low in winter.From the mid-November to early March, the artificial snow-making can be conducted in the whole province.Most areas of Fushun, Benxi, Tieling, Shenyang, Dandong, and Liaoyang are the optimal regions for ice-snow tourism and sports in Liaoning province.However, the western Liaoning with less snowfall is more suitable to develop ice tourism relative to snow tourism.Inversely, the coastal areas such as Huludao and Dalian have short ice and snow periods and can be explored in developing small-scale ice-snow and sea-ice tourism projects.
