Beijing Yuyang Ski ResortⅠ

Though probably unlikely to satisfy the cravings of adrenaline junkies or speed demons, the gentle slopes of Yuyang Ski Resort offer a day of fun and sun in the snow in the back hills of Beijing.

Yuyang, which is situated just over 60 kilometres from Beijing was first opened in 2006 and claims to be the largest of its kind near Beijing. Whilst a glance at the piste map promises a choice of nine runs to suit a wide range of abilities, it is worth being aware that such variety may not always be available. At the time of our visit only 2 nursery slopes were snow-covered and running, with the promise of another more challenging slope (with chairlift) and board park opening in the coming days.
