Cuddle a snowman at the Shangri-La Beijing this Christmas. The temperature may be minus zero outside, but the lobby is warm and cozy with cheery snowmen guiding you to all the festive attractions. Apart from the various Yuletide promotions at the dining outlets, guests may take home some attractive prizes in a lucky draw, such as an iPad, iPhone and double-room vouchers for stays at Shangri-La hotels and resorts around the world, plus dining vouchers. From Dec 22-24, in-house guests and guests dining at the hotel can join in "Happy Snowman" functions. The Family Fun Day, held at the Event Center, features many games for some quality time with family and friends. Pauline D. Loh
