Open year-round, this "rink" is more like an ice track, but is the only rink in Beijing where you can practice the fine sport of curling! Caveat: ice in the off-season can be bumpy and rental skates are a bit brittle. Skating: RMB 26 (RMB 16 for students) per hour (includes skate rental); curling: RMB 400 per hour (call ahead to reserve the "sheet").
