Shimla Ice Rink Opens for Skating

The big ice rink in Shimla, which is the largest natural one in Asia, is opening for skating on Thursday.

It's smaller now because of building work nearby.

People can skate in the morning starting at 8 am, and the evening sessions will depend on how good the ice is.

The rink is special because it was made in 1920 when an Irish officer noticed water freezing quickly on a tennis court.

Last year, the rink opened on December 11, and the number of skating sessions can vary a lot depending on the weather.

Some people who tried skating for the first time said it was a fun experience, even if they fell a bit.

The club that runs the rink has about 300 members, and you can pay to skate for the whole season.
