Ding🔔2024 skiing is open. In recent weekends, I have either been in Chongli or on the way to Chongli. I have become addicted to skiing and have become quite proficient in changing edges. A few days ago, a friend asked me how much it would cost to take my children to Chongli for skiing, food, accommodation and transportation. So let's do the math today👀 ✐𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𖠌 ⭕️About transportation The first choice for traveling with children is self-driving. The round-trip fuel cost is about 360💰, the toll is 170💰, and the total transportation cost is 530💰 ✐𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𖠌 ⭕️About the ski resort Wanlong, Fulong, Yunding, Duolemeidi, Taiwu, Shixuechuan, Cuiyun Mountain, we have basically checked in. Last weekend we went to Duolemeidi Ski Resort, which should be the rare ski resort for Chongli people. There are 8 beginner, intermediate and advanced ski slopes, and the snow slope is 2 kilometers long, which is suitable for beginners. Two intermediate slopes and magic carpets were opened last weekend, and several other snow spray slopes were opened. ✐𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𖠌 ⭕️About the hotel Duolemei Ski Resort has ski-in and ski-out facilities, which is very convenient. The weekend room rate at Duolemeiyuan is 799💰/day, including breakfast for two and a 1-day ski ticket for two people (excluding ski equipment).

This time, Mi Zai was mainly practicing, so we took him to skate, and did not hire a coach. The above is a total of 1680💰, and the cost of ski equipment is not included. If the child really loves it, then consider buying snow clothes and ski equipment. The main reason why I like the ski resort in Chongli is that there is less waiting time for the cable car, and I can really experience the fun of skiing! ✐𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𖠌 ◡̈ ᑋᵉᑊᑊᵒ ᵕ̈ ᑋᵉᑊᑊᵒ I am Xiaokui, a working mother 👩 There is a kid at home who is 6+👦 Located in Huilongguan, Changping, Beijing📍 Mainly share the family travel guide in Changping and surrounding areas📒 If you like it, remember to follow 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝖠�ᐝ

The spa center is simply a treasure trove! Soaking in the snow, watching the snow scene, taking big shots, completely immersed in your own world. What is particularly worth mentioning is that Nanshanli is the first hotel in Chongli District to offer child care and full-day entertainment activities.

Not only is the snow quality top-notch, but it is also very suitable for bringing family and friends to play.

Getting There - Train Beijing - Chongli Attractions - Skiing Hotels - Many options We spent a weekend in Chongli during the winter and I think we will repeat this every year. Very convenient to take the train from Beijing North station or Qinghe station. I recommend to plan in advance and buy the ticket when they are released two weeks in advanced 🎫 You can choose from different ski centers according to your wish and abilities. Weather in February can be cold but we were lucky with sun on the Saturday so we could enjoy our lunch in the sun outdoors. If you live in Beijing this is definitely a cool place to go during the long wintertime. We fell in love with Thaiwoo ski resort as it has everything we need. Different restaurants, ski activities, afterski events and they even have a band that plays outside if the weather allows. #snowboard #wintergetaway #resort #chongli

About 5 years ago, the area where the hotel located it has really good view of everything around. But this time in my recent visit it is now surrounded with unfinished buildings, more like abandoned and even higher than the hotel itself. So the building looks isolated and all you can see from the balcony is the unfinished buildings instead of the beautiful ski slopes. in the other side of the hotel nothing much has changed, you can still see the mountains. Now, facilities is a different story. It has been about 5 years but facilities hasn’t change nor updated. The toilet looks filthy with improper cleaning and rusted shower head pipe. Desk and chairs still the same. Although, they added wall heater for winter season (that’s a plus). Below, you will see diffidences from 5 years ago to this date (January 24, 2023). #newyearadventure #tripblazers #foodie #mytripvlog

The Brew House is just a convenient location to eat and drink a draft of beer after your ski adventure. Thaiwoo Ski Resort has lots of restaurants around but The Brew House is I think the nearest and has good beer to offer since it's too cold and beer can warm up my cold soul. It offers hamburgers, pizza, tacos, salads, bbq and more. For the drinks;Coffee, juice, wine, cocktails and beer. The price is average depends on your order. I love the pizza and beer the most. The ambiance is nice too. #newyearadventure #tripblazers #restaurant #winter

Welcome to Thaiwoo Ski resort. It is located 20 minutes drive outside of Chongli District, Hebei, China. And it takes three hours drive by car from Beijing.

Slopes for beginners and Advanced are available. There are many restaurants to eat and hotels to stay in for a night or more nights. It is absolutely freezing here so wear the proper winter clothes once you visit Thaiwoo Ski Resort. #newyearadventure #tripblazers #winterseason #skiing #china #chinatravel

Step into Zhangjiakou, and you step into a three-dimensional history of China's borderlands. I. Ancient Great Wall: Echoes of a Millennium Zhangjiakou's Great Wall is a frozen epic, a dialogue between nomadic and agricultural civilizations, with every brick engraved with memories of ancient battles. Dajingmen: "The First Gate of the Great Wall": Unlike other passes named "guan" or "zhai," Dajingmen is uniquely called a "gate," witnessing trade between the grasslands and the Central Plains. The bold inscription "Magnificent Rivers and Mountains" crowns its archway. From the tower, you can gaze at Chongli's snow peaks and the vast Bashang grasslands. Tea Horse Road Legacy: During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this was the starting point of the Zhangku Road, where camel caravans carried fur, tea, and porcelain between Zhangjiakou and Kulun (now Ulaanbaatar). Today, camel sculptures and ancient road relics at Dajingmen Square still whisper tales of the "Northern Silk Road." Great Wall Fortresses: Jimingyi Post Town: China's largest and most complete ancient postal relay site, with towering walls, post stations, temples, and stages. Stroll its stone-paved lanes, imagining couriers galloping with urgent messages, or visit filming locations from "A Chinese Odyssey" for timeless photos. Kaiyang Fort: Dubbed the "Loulan Beyond the Great Wall," this Warring States-era ruin features Tang Dynasty street layouts. At summer solstice, sunlight pierces the gate like a "light pillar," creating a time-travel illusion. Yangbian Great Wall: The "Model Section": A Ming Dynasty "demonstration project" with impeccably preserved bricks, watchtowers, and battlements. Hiking here lets you touch 600-year-old stones and feel the wall's indomitable spirit. II. Winter Wonderland: Olympic Legacy Meets Grassland Highways Zhangjiakou's winters are a snowy fairy tale; its summers, a poem of whirling windmills on the grasslands. Chongli Ski Resorts: Olympic Legacy: Seven major resorts, including Genting Snow Park and Wanlong Ski Resort, hosted freestyle and snowboarding events. Trails range from beginner to expert, with night skiing under star-like lights offering thrills. Four-Season Fun: Summer transforms ski slopes into mountain playgrounds for biking, UTV rides, and alpine hikes, with cloud-sea views from resort hotels. Grassland Highway: "China's Route 66": This 132-km scenic drive links birch forests, flower terraces, and wind turbines. Road-trip past dancing wildflowers and humming turbines to experience frontier vistas. Deep Dive: Stay in a Mongolian yurt at Dahuanlun Village, savor milk tea and hand-grabbed mutton, join bonfire parties, and listen to horsehead fiddle melodies. Zhongdu Original Grassland Resort: By the Yuan Dynasty ruins, summer brings flower-dotted meadows for horseback riding, archery, and grass sliding, plus epic "Zhongdu Memories" battle reenactments. III. Flavors of Zhangjiakou: Oats and Mutton Frontier Feast Local cuisine blends ruggedness and finesse, merging grassland flavors with Central Plains techniques—every bite radiates northern boldness. Must-Try Trio: Oat Noodle Rolls: Zhangjiakou's "top treasure," steamed oat tubes dipped in mushroom-lamb or tomato-egg sauce, praised in "A Bite of China." Chaigoubao Smoked Meat: Century-old recipe of crispy, fragrant pork belly, perfect in a "frontier burger" with baked buns. Huai'an Tofu Skin: Paper-thin, bean-rich sheets for hotpot or stir-fries, a "beyond-the-wall delicacy." Hidden Gems: Mushroom-Lamb Stew: Hearty broth with grassland mushrooms, a cold-weather classic from ancient texts. Roast Lamb Leg: Charcoal-grilled to crispy perfection, dusted with cumin—pure carnivorous joy. Millet Fried Cakes: Golden, red-bean-filled fritters symbolizing prosperity, a wedding staple. IV. Seasonal Adventures Spring (Apr-May): Cherry blossoms in Huailai, apricot blooms by Chicheng hot springs, and wildflowers along the Grassland Highway. Summer (Jun-Aug): Chongli music festivals, Grassland Highway road trips, and Nadam Fair wrestling/mounted archery in Zhongdu—all in 20°C bliss. Autumn (Sep-Nov): Red leaves at Huapiling Ridge, colorful forests in Haituo Valley, and "tree-flower" iron-fireworks in Nuanquan Ancient Town. Winter (Dec-Mar): Skiing in Chongli, hot springs in Chicheng, ice fishing at Kulun Nur Lake, and paper-cutting workshops in Yu County. V. Travel Tips Transport: High-speed trains from Beijing (1 hour); drive Grassland Highway west-to-east to avoid crowds. Stay: Luxury options like Element Chongli or rural homestays with kang beds and folk meals. Avoid Pitfalls: Ski newbies should hire instructors; confirm horseback riding fees upfront; pack layers for grassland temperature swings. Cultural Gems: Saturday night indoor "tree-flower" shows in Nuanquan, Liao Dynasty murals in Xuanhua, and the Yuan Zhongdu Museum's archaeological displays. VI. Deep Dives Great Wall Hikes: From Dajingmen to Shuimuguan, passing historic military sites. Handicrafts: Try paper-cutting in Yu County, fur-making in Yangyuan, or wine-tasting at Great Wall Sanggan Vineyard. Olympic Exploration: Ride cable cars up the "Snow Ruyi" ski jump for panoramic views. Zhangjiakou's beauty lies in the Great Wall's solemnity, the grasslands' expanse, the Olympics' fervor, and oat noodles' warmth. Here, desert grandeur meets pastoral tenderness, ancient ruins coexist with ski resorts. With this guide, let your soul gallop between history and modernity—where every brick tells a story, every snowflake whispers legend.

Like Nanshanli, Paston, Hyatt Place, Westin Source, Thaiwoo Hotel, etc. Hyatt Place and Westin Source are super convenient in the town center 🌟 Other hotels can be reached by free 🆓 shuttle buses, divided into A and B routes, don’t take the wrong one! 🩵 Activities 🎢 1️⃣ Cable car 🚡: The mountain views are absolutely stunning! Divided into two sections, mid-mountain and summit (2160m altitude), both breathtakingly beautiful 😭 There are also photo spots～ Round trip 100 RMB, only 20 RMB for seniors and children, and it’s pet-friendly, so you can bring your furry friends to enjoy the view 🐶 2️⃣ Super rich recreational facilities! Go-karts, balance bikes, archery range, horse ranch, grass skiing, petting zoo, perfect for kids or dates～ 3️⃣ Weekend nights have bonfire parties and iron flower performances (at 📍Nanshanli outer square), the atmosphere is amazing 🔥 🩵 Dining 🍔 So many dining options to choose from! Barbecue, hot pot, bistros, craft breweries, fast food (McDonald’s, KFC available), coffee shops, light meals, hot dogs, and Lawson convenience store, something for every budget～ Hotels also have restaurants, so you can eat well without leaving! 🩵 Photo spots 📸 • At the foot of the mountain: Popular big red chair 🪑, little donkey family, super photogenic! • On the mountain: THAIWOO sign, “Listening to the Mountain” big headphones 🎧, summit check-in spot at 2160m altitude, popular signposts (many and eye-catching), perfect for stunning photos in no time! 🩵 Tips ⚠️ 1️⃣ Weather is changeable! Sunny days at the end of July are not cold on the mountain, but in August and September bring a light jacket or windbreaker～ Mountain weather is unpredictable, remember to bring an umbrella ☂️ UV rays are very strong, apply sunscreen generously! The key point❗ There are really no mosquitoes here 🦟! 2️⃣ Thaiwoo Ski Town is quite crowded, if possible, visit on weekdays for a much better experience! 3️⃣ Average cost: Including high-speed rail and cable car, about 300 RMB, good value for money～ 4️⃣ Outfit: Dress beautifully for photos! A white dress with a headscarf creates a great vibe, bring a jacket or knitted shawl for the cold summit～ 5️⃣ Duration: The town is not big, 3-4 hours is enough without taking photos, photo lovers can spend an afternoon and watch the sunset 🌄, no need to stay overnight～ ❌ Pitfall Avoidance Guide: 🩵 Transportation Tips 🚗🚄 • Don’t set off on a whim when driving! Jingli Expressway is prone to traffic jams on weekends and holidays, check road conditions in advance and prepare snacks to pass the time. • High-speed rail tickets must be booked early! Popular trains sell out in minutes 😭, if you’re late, you can only watch helplessly! Don’t dawdle after getting off the train, the shuttle bus won’t wait, missing one means a long wait! 🩵 Accommodation Tips 🏨 • Don’t blindly chase low prices! Some cheap hotels have outdated facilities and poor soundproofing, a bad night’s sleep will ruin your trip mood. • During peak season (especially weekends), book rooms in advance! Last-minute bookings are not only expensive but may have no availability, leaving you to go home disappointed 😣! Although the town is small, staying at centrally located hotels like Hyatt Place or Westin Source means you can step downstairs and start having fun, so convenient! 🩵 Activity Tips 🎢 • Although the cable car offers great views, don’t go near closing time! Missing the last cable car down means walking down in the dark, which is terrifying 😱! • Most recreational facilities are family-oriented, pure adult visitors shouldn’t expect too much! Popular activities like go-karts and archery have long queues on weekends, off-peak visits are best. • Bonfire parties and iron flower performances are not daily! Confirm the time and place in advance to avoid wasted trips. 🩵 Dining Tips 🍔 • Don’t expect too much from the town’s food! Most restaurants are pricey, around 100+ RMB per person, and the taste is average. Peak dining times require at least a half-hour wait, it’s better to eat off-peak or bring some snacks. • Don’t be fooled by trendy restaurants! Some have 2-hour queues but poor food, chain restaurants like McDonald’s and KFC are more reliable. 🩵 Other Tips ⚠️ • Never go out without sunscreen! UV rays on the mountain are outrageously strong, you’ll come back much darker! • Don’t wear high heels! The mountain paths and grasslands are tricky, high heels can cause sprains easily, pretty flats or sneakers are the way to go! • Don’t take leave to come on non-weekend holidays! There are far fewer people on weekdays, the experience is much better, weekends are crowded and you have to queue for photos 📸! Friends, hurry up and go! If you have questions, ask me in the comments, I’ll answer everything I know! Wish everyone a great time 🥰～

Chongli in Zhangjiakou, Hebei leveraged the Beijing Winter Olympics to significantly improve its infrastructure in recent years, developing numerous great vacation spots. This time, I visited Thaiwoo Ski Resort and stayed at the Element Hotel in Thaiwoo Town, Chongli. Here’s my review of the experience. 📍Location: Thaiwoo Ski Resort is usually accessed by car. From downtown Beijing, it takes about 2.5 hours by car if traffic is smooth, with the entire route being highway and easy to navigate. Alternatively, taking the high-speed train to Taizicheng Station is a great option—just a 5-6 minute taxi ride from the station to the Element Hotel in Thaiwoo Town, Chongli. 🏨Hotel Environment: The hotel is located right at the entrance of Thaiwoo Town, blending seamlessly with the town’s architectural style. It features an underground parking lot. The hotel’s environment is quite nice, emphasizing green and eco-friendly practices, with a fresh and modern decor. It’s also pet-friendly. The hotel even has a swimming pool (see attached photos), which is a rare luxury for an Element brand property. 🛏Room Facilities: I booked two rooms this time, and the hotel provided two connecting rooms, which was very convenient. One was a small suite, and the other was a king bed room. The rooms follow the same green, low-carbon theme with a fresh style. The suite came fully equipped with a large fridge, oven, and kitchenware, making it ideal for extended stays. The hotel opened in 2017, but the rooms are well-maintained with modern amenities, showing no signs of wear. 🍲Hotel Breakfast: The breakfast was quite disappointing—arguably the weakest point of the hotel. The selection was limited, the taste was average, and with the weekend crowd, it felt a bit chaotic. This was the only downside of the stay. 🖼Nearby Attractions: Thaiwoo Ski Resort, where the hotel is located, is essentially a scenic spot itself. The town is small, and a full walk-around takes about half an hour. It’s liveliest during the winter ski season and summer getaway season. I haven’t been there in winter, but in summer, there are performances in the town square, creating a lively atmosphere. There are also some small animals kept near the cable car station 🚡 (see attached photos). While in Thaiwoo Town, don’t miss the cable car ride to the mountaintop. The two-segment cable car requires a transfer midway. At the top, you’ll find the 2160 PEAK mountaintop restaurant and the large "THAIWOO" sign amidst the lush green trees 🌲—the view is reminiscent of Switzerland, earning it the nickname "Little Switzerland near Beijing" [Grin]. Apart from the 2160 restaurant, there aren’t many entertainment options at the summit—just photo opportunities, scenic views, and cool breezes. If you’re sensitive to cold, bring a thick jacket, as the temperature is at least 10 degrees lower than at the base. At the transfer point between the first and second cable car segments, you can snap a photo with the iconic giant silver headphones 🎧 (see attached photos) and a massive thermometer. On a scorching summer afternoon, it was only 16°C here [Surprising]—truly a perfect summer retreat. Dining options in Thaiwoo Town are limited, and prices are naturally higher than in Zhangjiakou, which is typical for tourist areas. [GlassesUU]Summary: Overall, my stay at the Element Hotel in Thaiwoo Town, Chongli, was excellent. It’s a fantastic escape during the hot summer months, offering great facilities and beautiful scenery. Aside from the subpar breakfast, the hotel excels in every other aspect, and I highly recommend it.
