Immersive Winterland at I-City Shah Alam
Malaysia is undeniably blessed with gorgeous landscapes. But the absence of snowfall and wintery scenes can defo trigger the #FOMO feels during the month of December, when Christmas festivities are going strong at home and overseas. Luckily for us, there are attractions that let us experience the thrill of snow without the pricey travel costs.
Enter Immersive Winterland at I-City in Shah Alam. Ongoing throughout December 2023, here’s what you can see here – virtual skiing and striking art installations included.
