1. Yanqing Olympic Park National Alpine Ski Center
As the venue for the alpine skiing events of the 2022 Winter Olympics, Yanqing has the best snow conditions in Beijing. It's high altitude (top at 2198 meters), and the snow quality is kept good. It's the last ski resort in the Beijing area to close, usually operating until early May. You can experience Olympic-level professional tracks, including the "Snowy Avenue" and other Olympic tracks that are open to the public for the first time.
2. Beijing Qiaobo Indoor Ski Resort
As a well-known indoor ski resort in Beijing, Qiaobo is open all year round, making it an ideal option for skiing in May. The indoor temperature is kept around -3℃, with beginner and intermediate slopes suitable for skiers of all levels.
3. Beijing Wanlong Bayi Ski Resort
One of the closest ski resorts to the city center, Wanlong Bayi mainly operates in winter but sometimes extends operations into early spring depending on the weather. If there are unusually low temperatures in May, it might open briefly.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories.
Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic!
Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale.
For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
