Shijinglong Ski Resort

Shijinglong Ski Resort

Shijinglong Ski Resort is a national AAA-level tourist attraction.

Beijing Shijinglong Ski Resort was established in 1999 and is situated in Yanqing, a national-level ecological environment demonstration zone and Beijing’s Summer Capital, 80 kilometers from downtown Beijing. As the first, largest, and most comprehensively equipped ski resort in the Beijing area, it was also the first in China to adopt artificial snow-making. The resort boasts one of the rare south-facing ski slopes in Beijing, designed to align with human body mechanics, allowing visitors to ski under the warm winter sun. Covering an area of 600 acres, the resort features professionally designed ski runs and a ski equipment hall that can accommodate up to 5,000 people for snow recreation activities simultaneously.

The resort features open terrain with varied topography. To the east lies Longqing Gorge, known as the "Little Li River"; to the west is Guanting Lake, the source of Beijing’s drinking water; to the north are green mountains; and to the south, the scenic Yu Chuan-Yanqing area. With elegant surroundings and pleasant scenery, the average annual temperature here is 3–4°C lower than in the city center.

Currently, the resort has six ski runs (categorized into three levels: one advanced, two intermediate, and three beginner runs), ensuring skiers of all skill levels can enjoy the pleasures of this refined outdoor sport. There are also two chairlifts (one double and one quad), five tow lifts to quickly transport skiers to the start points, and nearly 4,000 sets of skis available for use. The resort is equipped with 14 snow-making machines (both domestic and imported) and two German snow-grooming machines, guaranteeing ample snow supply.

Shijinglong Ski Resort offers a rich variety of entertainment options: skiing (snowboarding and alpine skiing), snow tubing (including snow tubing surfing and alpine tubing), snow quad bikes, horse-drawn sleighs, sleds, children’s castle, snow sauna, hot spring baths, and more. The resort uniquely offers hot spring bathing—a rarity in China’s ski market—that helps eliminate fatigue and restore energy after skiing. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the hot spring area allow you to admire the ski slope views. To cater to beginners, the resort employs nearly 100 nationally certified instructors to help you master standard skiing techniques. This winter, to meet the needs of skiing enthusiasts, a new Crystal Snowboard Park has been added, providing a professional venue for snowboarders. Additionally, a newly built art center will be developed into the most distinctive winter wedding photography base in Beijing. Shijinglong’s French-style café, “THREE Paris,” is conveniently located at the junction of the intermediate and beginner ski runs at the foot of the mountain. You can easily ski here for a relaxing break. Under the sunshine, amidst the white snow, savoring coffee on the spacious terrace offers a true taste of Alpine-style charm in Beijing.

Shijinglong Ski Resort provides a full range of services including parking, dining, and shopping. A large parking lot covering 35,000 square meters can accommodate over 1,000 vehicles, fully meeting the needs of self-driving tourists. The fast-food restaurant can serve 500 people at once, and through its floor-to-ceiling windows, diners can watch skiers gliding across the slopes. A variety of service facilities such as ski shops and snack stores also offer great convenience to visitors.

In addition, Shijinglong Ski Resort is managed by experienced professionals in the skiing industry. The resort has implemented a computerized billing network system, achieving modernized management and providing skiers with reasonable, efficient, and comfortable services.
