Winter Furry Fusion (冬兽聚, WFF) is a furry convention in Shanghai, China, held each December. It is the winter edition of the Furry Fusion family, run by the same organizers behind Super Furry Fusion (极兽聚, SFF), the summer event that is mainland China's largest furry convention. WFF runs as a hotel fursuit meet and has taken place every December since 2018.
A December 2026 edition has not been announced as of mid-2026, but Winter Furry Fusion has run every December without a break since 2018, so another edition is widely expected. Dates, venue, and registration will be posted through the organizer's site (furrychina.com) and Chinese channels. The most recent edition ran in December 2025 at Crowne Plaza Shanghai Xiayang Lake in Qingpu; check the official site for the 2026 announcement before making travel plans.
Winter Furry Fusion is the smaller winter event from the team behind China's biggest furry convention. Where its summer sibling Super Furry Fusion draws several thousand attendees, WFF is a hotel fursuit meet focused on suiting, photography, and community time rather than a large program. For visitors, it is a way to experience the mainland scene in Shanghai during the quieter winter season. It also has a long track record for a Chinese con, running annually since 2018.
By air: Shanghai is served by Pudong International (PVG) and Hongqiao International (SHA). The venue is in Qingpu District in the west of the city, closest to Hongqiao.
By transit: Shanghai's metro is extensive, though Qingpu sits toward the western edge of the network; from Hongqiao, allow time for the final connection or use a ride-hail. Recent editions have used the Crowne Plaza in Qingpu.
By car: The venue is on Qingzhou Road in Qingpu District. Ride-hailing apps are the most practical way for visitors to reach the hotel.

Recent Winter Furry Fusion editions have been held at Crowne Plaza Shanghai Xiayang Lake in Qingpu, an international-brand hotel by Xiayang Lake, so the simplest option is to book a room in the host hotel and stay where the meet happens.
Confirm the 2026 host hotel on the official site before booking, as the venue can shift between editions within the Qingpu area.
The eighth Winter Furry Fusion ran December 19-21, 2025 at Crowne Plaza Shanghai Xiayang Lake in Qingpu District, continuing the event's run as a hotel fursuit meet.
WFF launched on December 22, 2018 at Minhang Central Mall in Shanghai, then settled into a December slot largely at the Crowne Plaza in Qingpu. Early editions carried themes such as "Pajama Party" (2019), but from 2022 onward the winter event dropped individual theme names. Across these years it built a reputation as the established winter counterpart to the summer Super Furry Fusion.
