The Sapporo TV Tower is one of the best places to observe Odori Park. During the Snow Festival it stays open late, providing excellent night views as well.

札幌電視塔是俯瞰大通公園的最佳景點之一。在雪祭期間它會開放到比較晚，因此也可以欣賞到很棒的夜景。

The Sapporo Beer Garden's most famous dish is a barbecued mutton and vegetable meal called "Genghis Khan" after the Mongolian ruler.

札幌啤酒花園最有名的是一道稱作「成吉思汗」的烤羊肉和蔬菜料理，是以一位蒙古統治者命名。

At night the main road in Susukino is closed to car traffic so pedestrian can enjoy the ice sculptures up close.

晚上，薄野的主要道路會封閉，禁止汽車通行，好讓路人可以近距離欣賞冰雕。

Day 2

第二天

There are many resorts within easy access of Sapporo, and we're at one today, and I can't wait to get on the slopes so let's go.

在札幌有周圍許多交通便捷的度假村，我們今天就在其中一個，而我等不及要上去滑雪坡了，所以，走吧！

After snowboarding there's nothing better than staying the night at a ryokan in an onsen town, which is exactly what we're doing tonight.
