Day 1: Beijing to Chongli
Begin your skiing adventure by departing from Beijing, embarking on a 3-hour scenic drive to the snow-covered paradise of Chongli. Genting Resort Sceret Garden, as the host site of the Beijing Winter Olympics, holds the top spot in terms of popularity among the seven ski resorts. Here, snow enthusiasts can look forward to 41 high-intermediate level ski slopes and an array of off-piste areas. Hop aboard the only heated-seat high-speed cable car in the country, as the highlight moments of your ski journey are about to come to life.
Day 2: Chongli
For the more experienced skiers, one day on the slopes is never enough. On the second day, grab your snowboard and continue to relish in the beauty of the ideal “white addiction” of northern China. Particularly, with Genting Resort and Wanlong connected for seamless skiing, holding a joint ticket allows you to glide from Genting Resort to the long-established Wanlong, where the pros gather. Dive into the wild snow-covered forests and snowboard parks to test your skiing skills. Of course, there are also long and winding trails and friendly bunny slopes awaiting beginners and intermediate skiers. When you’re tired from all the action, don’t forget to head over to the Dragon Palace Hotel, where even the most discerning foodies will find satisfaction in the delectable cuisine.
Day 3: Chongli to Beijing
If you have enough time and energy, you can continue to revel in the joy of skiing in the snowy wonderland of Chongli. After all, there are night skiing options at Fulong, ski trails named after constellations at Cuiyunshan Galaxy, free admission for ladies on Wednesdays at Duolemeng, and the European mountain resort atmosphere of Thaiwoo. But if you’re already content with your skiing adventure, it’s the perfect time to wrap it up and drive back to Beijing.
Accommodation Recommendation
Considering convenience, staying in hotels around the ski resorts is the preferred choice, especially at Genting Resort and Wanlong’s self-operated hotels, which offer ski-in and ski-out access. For those looking for a more budget-friendly and entertaining option, Chongli County, located 30 kilometers from the ski resorts, is a gathering place for snow enthusiasts. Here, you can indulge in high-calorie delights like beef bones, hotpot, and grilled lamb liver, as well as explore tempting ski equipment shops that might just make you lose track of time.
