Lin’an, Hangzhou · Damingshan Ski Resort
Located at the foot of Mount Damingshan, on the shores of Damingshan Lake, Damingshan Ski Resort is the highest and largest snow-viewing, snow-playing, and skiing park in East China. Damingshan itself is a picturesque spot for enjoying the snowy scenery. During winter, you can witness ice mountains, snow-covered pines, ice lakes, ice waterfalls, ice pillars, ice caves, and snow-covered grasslands. Skiing through the snowy landscape is an experience you won’t want to miss. To accommodate skiers of all ages, abilities, and skill levels, Damingshan Ski Resort features beginner and intermediate slopes. The quality of the slopes meets the SS-level standard, with individual slopes comparable to professional-grade ski runs.
With equipment imported from abroad, including snowmaking and snow grooming equipment, ski boards, and ski apparel, the resort offers everything you need for a fun-filled ski adventure. National-level coaches and athletes provide on-site guidance. From light snow sleds to powerful snowmobiles, and Damingshan covered in a blanket of white, come experience the unique “Northern charm of Jiangnan”!
Address: Damingshan Scenic Area, Baiguo Village, Qingliangfeng Town, Lin’an, Hangzhou.
Anji, Huzhou · Jiangnan Tianchi
Jiangnan Tianchi Ski Resort is the only and first outdoor ski resort in Jiangnan. As one of the oldest ski resorts in Zhejiang, its slopes are built along the mountainside, with a total length of nearly 800 meters, a vertical drop of 40 meters, and a width of 40-150 meters. The resort offers advanced, intermediate, and beginner slopes, as well as a children’s snow tube area and a snow-playing area, catering to diverse needs.
Every winter, you can admire the shimmering ice waterfalls and ice pillars on the rock walls of the winding mountain road. From dawn to dusk, frost hangs on the tips of trees and blades of grass, creating a breathtaking sight. With 10-20 snowfalls annually, it’s no wonder that many visitors refer to it as the “Changbai Mountain of Jiangnan” or the “Yabuli of Jiangnan”! Standing on the top of the steep slope, looking down at the vast snow sea, take a deep breath and then leap. The soft snow makes even falling a fun experience. Jiangnan Tianchi’s greatest attraction is its perfect blend of skiing and hot springs, two of the most sought-after winter pastimes.
