In the distance skiers can see the mountain known as Changbaishan, which is one of the largest mountains in China, and it basically means “often white mountain.” It sits to the east of the ski resort, not far from Russia and North Korea.

The ski range has a variety of runs for the beginner and the expert. There are plenty of ski instructors available to those who need lessons on how glide down a mountain on a pair of skis without falling down.

Ski rentals are available along with full and half-day lift passes. And night skiing is also possible for those who can’t satisfy their thirst for snow skiing during the day.

Ski season at the Changbaishan resort begins in November and runs through early May, making it the only resort in China that offers seven months of skiing.

When it opened a few years ago it only had one ski lift and 4 trails, now it has 4 lifts and close to twenty trails, and next year it will have even more.
