Ganshan Ski Resort

Ganshan Ski Resort is the only forest ski resort in Henan. Nestled against mountains and beside water, surrounded by forests, the ski resort offers distinct and unique scenery throughout all four seasons. Along the way, famous tourist attractions such as Butterfly Valley, Tiewa Temple, Ancestral Temple, Bell Tower, Mawu Fortress, and Cui’s Cave combine natural landscapes with cultural heritage, boasting a long history and rich cultural connotations. These sites complement the ski resort atop the mountain like stars surrounding the moon. Visitors can not only experience the ultimate fun of skiing and playing in the snow but also explore historic sights, admire picturesque views, enjoy the charm of northern landscapes, and search for plum blossoms in the snow.
