Zhangjiakou Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Winter wonderland close to Beijing

Getting There - Train Beijing - Chongli Attractions - Skiing Hotels - Many options We spent a weekend in Chongli during the winter and I think we will repeat this every year. Very convenient to take the train from Beijing North station or Qinghe station. I recommend to plan in advance and buy the ticket when they are released two weeks in advanced 🎫 You can choose from different ski centers according to your wish and abilities. Weather in February can be cold but we were lucky with sun on the Saturday so we could enjoy our lunch in the sun outdoors. If you live in Beijing this is definitely a cool place to go during the long wintertime. We fell in love with Thaiwoo ski resort as it has everything we need. Different restaurants, ski activities, afterski events and they even have a band that plays outside if the weather allows. #snowboard #wintergetaway #resort #chongli

Winter paradise

We made a little escape out of Beijing to Chongli to go skiing. There are several ski resorts in the area however this season we have been coming to Thaiwoo for the first time. The little ski village has everything, hotels, restaurants, coffeehouses, bars, cocktail bar, KTV and hot-spring.. in addition to skiing.. from Beijing it is about 2-3 hours drive. You can also take the fast train to Taizicheng from Beijing north or Qinghe and then it’s just a 6 minute drive to the resort. #newyearadventure #snowboard #wintervibe #olympics #thaiwoo #chongli

Where to eat after Skiing?

The Brew House is just a convenient location to eat and drink a draft of beer after your ski adventure. Thaiwoo Ski Resort has lots of restaurants around but The Brew House is I think the nearest and has good beer to offer since it's too cold and beer can warm up my cold soul. It offers hamburgers, pizza, tacos, salads, bbq and more. For the drinks;Coffee, juice, wine, cocktails and beer. The price is average depends on your order. I love the pizza and beer the most. The ambiance is nice too. #newyearadventure #tripblazers #restaurant #winter

Let's Enjoy the Winter Season!

Welcome to Thaiwoo Ski resort. It is located 20 minutes drive outside of Chongli District, Hebei, China. And it takes three hours drive by car from Beijing. I would recommend travelling there by car since it is the most convenient and comfortable transport. If you want to try skiing, it costs CNY580 a day per person. Slopes for beginners and Advanced are available. There are many restaurants to eat and hotels to stay in for a night or more nights. It is absolutely freezing here so wear the proper winter clothes once you visit Thaiwoo Ski Resort. #newyearadventure #tripblazers #winterseason #skiing #china #chinatravel

Zhangjiakou's Zhangbei Grassland Sky Road truly lives up to its reputation

The Zhangbei Grassland Sky Road is one of the ten most beautiful highways in China, with winding roads, rolling hills, deep gullies, and a stunning landscape that unfolds like a hundred-mile-long painting of the Bashang Plateau. 🌟 Classic Route Recommendation DAY1: Wild Fox Ridge Fortress ➡️ Zhangbei Grassland ➡️ Horse Riding DAY2: Grassland Sky Road Rainbow Flower Field ➡️ Zhangbei Grassland Sky Road ➡️ Birch Ridge 🌟 Ticket Information ✅ After exiting the Grassland Sky Road, you can visit Dajingmen in Zhangjiakou, one of the four major passes of the Great Wall, with four characters on it that read 'Great Rivers and Mountains!' The scenic area ticket is 30 yuan per person, which doesn't feel worth it; it only takes about half an hour to go around. ✅ The Tianlu Base Camp package ticket is 120💰 per person, which allows unlimited access to activities such as archery 🏹, horse riding 🐎, zip-lining, grass sliding, and more. You can also stay overnight, with barbecue and various delicacies available, and you can take photos in ethnic costumes. ✅ Horse riding is 60 yuan per round (negotiable), and at the eastern racetrack, if you can't ride, a master will lead you for a trot and a walk. 🌟 Transportation 🚄 High-speed train: 1 hour direct to Zhangjiakou city + local chartered car to Grassland Sky Road (200-300💰 per person) 🚗 Self-driving: About 3 hours direct, take the entrance towards Birch Ridge, try not to go through Wild Fox Ridge, as it gets so congested you'll doubt life, especially on weekends. Navigate to Birch Ridge Toll Station ➡️ Grassland Sky Road East Line East Entrance ➡️ 5 minutes to reach the entrance of Grassland Sky Road. 🏠 Accommodation Recommendation ✅ Luo'an Farmhouse Located at the entrance of the Grassland Sky Road, it is not far from each scenic spot, and their meals are really good (roast lamb leg needs to be booked in advance). 🌟 Tips for Visiting ✅ Bring a windbreaker jacket for wind, sun protection, and temperature drops. ✅ Bring more of your favorite food and bottled water. ✅ Remember to fill up your car with gas. ✅ The most easily accessible grassland from Beijing is the Grassland Sky Road in Zhangjiakou, Hebei, a great place for a relaxing weekend trip. A road that weaves through the blue sky, white clouds, and grassland, as if it's the pulse of the earth. ✅ A casual snapshot is a pleasing wallpaper-worthy landscape. Along the way, there are windmills creaking in the wind, as if lining up to welcome visitors traveling here. The eastern line of the Sky Road is 100 kilometers long with beautiful and concentrated scenery, while the western line of 30 kilometers is almost negligible, with undulating roads and constant traffic.

The strongest guide for the eastern and Guyuan lines of the Prairie Sky Road

Let's get straight to the guide part, see below⬇️ Prairie Sky Road East Line: Take the Hai Zhang Expressway, and the entrance to the Ye Huling East Line is right after you get off at the Ye Huling toll station. (Picture 18) ➡️China Petroleum gas station (Prairie Sky Road station) ➡️ Xiao Nanwa camping ground ➡️ Prairie Potala ➡️ Birch Ridge Follow the above 👆 waypoints to successfully complete the east line. ❗️Remember to refuel at the first gas station after getting off the highway, as there will be a long stretch of road without any gas stations. ❗️About 20 minutes drive from the entrance of Ye Huling, a new Starbucks opened on September 29. The Starbucks on the prairie looks pretty good in photos. The drinks are not as complete as in the city, but the basic ones are available. ❗️There are various entertainment facilities along the way, such as go-karts, CS, horse riding, etc... But I think the natural scenery is far superior, and there is no need to waste time on projects that are available in the city. ❗️There are many hiking enthusiasts at Birch Ridge, and hiking can also see a lot of scenery that self-driving can't see. If you want to hike, be sure to arrange accommodation at Birch Ridge in advance, there are many homestays. If there is still time after the end of the east line, the Prairie Sky Road Guyuan line is also very beautiful, and the waypoints can be added as follows ➡️Da Donggou ➡️Shegouzhai ➡️Shili Mountain Village Afterwards, you can stay in Guyuan County, where there are also some chain hotels.

During the Spring Festival, there's a long queue at the advanced slope in Genting

I went to Genting with my friends during the Spring Festival, had coffee at the Prince Hotel, and from here, next to the advanced slope, you can clearly see people queuing up. The ticket prices range from 750 to 550, and many people start skiing from early in the morning. This place is almost all about snowboarding🏂, and there are also very talented children. For someone like me who lacks athletic cells, the advanced slope can only be used for taking pictures, and then I go to the beginner's slope to have some fun. Skiing instructors are really expensive in winter, and next time I go skiing, I still have to call on experienced skiers. 📷: Fuji X-T4｜16-55
