UPDATE BULLETIN
We have just been informed of two large events that will be staged at the new World Ice Arena in Hangzhou. In May, we will present a spectacular professional ice show that will run from 7 to 14 days each evening. Tickets will be distributed by the MIXC marketing department and are to be offered to customers based on a minimum spending amount. The show is directed by Darren Olivero and Choreographed by 4 time Olympian David Liu. The international cast will include current World and Olympic medalists.
We have now submitted our bid to host Skate Asia 2010, a world recreational skating competition that will be in August for 7 days. Up to 1000 skaters from more than 20 countries will take part. The event is recreational, meaning that the kids and adults who take part are not professional skaters but people who skate for the fun of it. Viewing of this will be free to anyone who comes to the mall and runs from 8am to 10pm daily. Also any of our skating school students who wish to join are most welcome as well. Skate Asia is organized by the Ice Skating Institute of Asia and is held each summer in a different Asian country. Competitors come from all over Asia, Middle East, Europe and North America.
7 MAY 2009 MIXC CONSTRUCTION SITE VIDEO
In this latest video, taken from our offices on May 7, 2009, you can see the construction site of the new luxury shopping complex called MIXC and its relationship to the new Grand Theatre and Intercontinental Hotel. The 3 towers to left of our mall building are the MIXC Residences. Construction is progressing well and we will open the mall in March 2010, but expect to have ice on the rink in January for staff training as well as some pre-opening skating events

ICE ARENA SITE VISIT MAY 4, 2009
This is a quick visit to the site. Opening shows off-ice areas. As camera pans around you will see the enormous size of the ice surface area. We expect to have all of this completed by the end of this year, with a pre-opening in January, soft opening in March and full grand opening for the May holiday so one way or another, you'll be on ice by this time next year.
