Yunju Ski Resort
Beijing Yunju Ski Resort is located in Fangshan District, Beijing, covering a total area of 800,000 square meters. Adjacent to the thousand-year-old Yunju Temple and nestled in the embrace of the majestic Taihang Mountains, it is truly a blessed land where “the Taihang Mountains cradle the land and Buddhist blessings shine upon it.” The resort is 60 kilometers from downtown Beijing and 50 kilometers from Nanyuan Airport. It is adjacent to the Beijing-Yuanping Railway and the Beijing-Shijiazhuang Expressway, with high-grade highways passing right in front of the resort—an exclusive feature among ski resorts in the Beijing area.
Yunju Ski Resort boasts a natural ecological coverage rate of up to 95%. With its beautiful mountains and clear waters, the scenery here is delightful. From the parapet-like wall openings outside the coffee shop at the mountaintop, you can almost reach out and touch the spire of Yunju Temple’s pagoda when looking north. The majestic peaks of the Taihang Mountains, dotted with lush cypresses, resemble rows of soldiers clad in armor ready for battle. “Ski in winter, hike in spring, grass ski in summer, and pick fruit in autumn” make this an ideal destination for winter sports, fitness, and holiday retreats in the suburbs of Beijing.
Yunju Ski Resort is the only ski resort in North China that uses surface water to produce snow, fully reflecting the company’s commitment to green and environmentally friendly practices of the modern era. As a result, it has received strong support and high praise from the government and all sectors of society.
Located in a natural valley shielded by surrounding mountains, Yunju Ski Resort benefits from a unique geographical environment that makes it a natural windbreak and creates a localized “microclimate.” The temperature at the ski resort in winter is 5 degrees lower than that in the city, and natural snow remains unmelted for extended periods. The entire scenic area is “draped in silver, exceptionally enchanting,” showcasing the classic beauty of northern China. The resort is equipped with advanced snowmaking machines and snow groomers imported from abroad, carefully crafting excellent snow quality for skiing enthusiasts and ensuring a more satisfying experience during your visit to Yunju.
Yunju Ski Resort features eight ski runs of advanced, intermediate, and beginner levels. Currently, six runs are open to the public, including beginner, intermediate, and advanced ski runs as well as snow tubing lanes, with a total length of 5,000 meters, an average width of 45 meters, a maximum drop of 98 meters, and a maximum slope of 25 degrees. The layout of the ski runs is rational and compact. Among them, two ski runs named “Chuyun” (Rising Cloud) and “Feixian” (Flying Immortal), with a combined length of 1,600 meters, have a 25-degree slope at the mountaintop section, meeting the standards of top-tier ski runs in China. Like auspicious and sacred hada scarves, they gracefully descend from the mountaintop on both sides, tracing two elegant arcs across the resort, offering you the comfort and delight of walking on clouds. Two additional advanced ski runs, each over 1,000 meters in length, will be completed and opened next year, becoming the highlight you’ve been most looking forward to. Yunju Lake shimmers under the sunlight and serves as a paradise for ice-skating and spinning top enthusiasts, as well as a playground for children. In summer, it becomes a sought-after spot for fishing enthusiasts.
