At a Glance
The Journey Begins
After arriving at Changchun Longjia Airport, choose a shuttle bus or chartered car to Beidahu Ski Resort (~ 2 hours ) depending on your flight schedule. Ski equipment can be rented after check-in. Enjoy a Northeastern-style stew for dinner to help you adjust to the time difference and cold weather.
Beidahu Deep Slide
Beidahu Ski Resort boasts 64 ski runs, where beginners can start with the magic carpet area, while experienced skiers can challenge themselves with the South Tower Run, the trail run, and the newly opened off-piste area. In the afternoon, relax in the hot springs and experience traditional Chinese medicine massage and acupuncture; in the evening, enjoy local delicacies such as Ula hot pot or Korean barbecue in the resort town.
Enjoy a smooth ride on Songhua Lake
Transfer to Songhua Lake Ski Resort (~ 1 hour). Enjoy skiing at Songhua Lake Ski Resort; beginners can ski on the extra-wide slopes, while advanced skiers can challenge the FIS-certified slopes. After skiing each day, you can soak in the snow-covered hot springs, or head to the snow park to experience snow tubing, snow UTV, and other activities. In the evening, you can enjoy music or watch a traditional folk opera performance at the resort's bar, and savor Manchu hot pot, among other things.
The Family Mountain
Yabuli's green and blue runs are genuinely good — wide, well-groomed, designed for the kind of skiing where a family of four can ski together without anyone being bored or overwhelmed. By day four, the children are on the chair lift unassisted, and the parents are experiencing something rare: skiing without managing anyone.
The mountain restaurant at mid-station serves dumplings. You eat them with your ski boots still on. The children think this is the most normal thing in the world.
The Hot Spring Evening
The outdoor hot spring sits at the edge of a birch forest. The temperature outside is minus eighteen. The water is forty degrees. You sit and watch steam rise into a clear sky and the children do not want to leave.
China's northeast winter has this quality: the cold makes everything warm feel extraordinary. The tea tastes better. The food after skiing tastes better. The hot spring is something else entirely — an argument, made in water and temperature, for being exactly here.
“The cold makes everything warm feel extraordinary.”
The Story They Will Tell
On the way to the airport, the children ask if they can come back. This question, asked in the back of a van at 6am in northeast China, is the answer to every logistical question you had before the trip.
You promise to think about it. You have already thought about it.
This route, reframed for your party and season.
