Thaiwoo Ski Resort 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.

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.

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.

Grass Skyline Scenic Road Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
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.

Walking for 16 kilometers, finally hit the highest cafe in Beijing
weekend with a ten-level wind, in the "Haicang Valley" self-abuse. This super-cool scenery and the amazing outdoor hiking route have been remembered since very early. The line departs from the original town of Oranda. Climbing, hiking, up and down, with strong winds, drizzle, light snow, a total of 16 kilometers, arrived at the end of 3 pm, the highest "1473 cafe" in Beijing. Immediately greeted, came a cup of latte. My friends know that I thought I was crazy about a cup of coffee. Haha~
actually set a route to go to the Haicang Valley. The bad weather is an uncontrollable factor, but it is also outdoor. One of the fun of sports. On the way to the walk, I remember the 1473 caf at the end. They said that it was closed at 4:30 pm, so I had to hurry. The wind almost made me fly, but it was still open.
The angle in the picture of the highest cafe in Beijing should be seen by few people. If you dont climb the mountain, you cant get this angle, hehe. Admire yourself~
There is a spotted dog in the cafe. There are not many tourists on the day. I borrowed a friend's membership card and enjoyed the membership price of coffee. It must be said that the boss pulls the flowers too hard, and some of our friends have ordered, each person's flowers are different, bears, cats and little girls. Although pulling flowers is not a must for a good cup of coffee, at least it means that the boss has gone.

Jiming Post Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Won't you come and visit the place where Cixi once fled to?
Jimingyi Ancient City in Huailai County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province | A 650-year-old post station
Jimingyi City is located in Jimingyi Village, Jimingyi Township, Huailai County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. It is 62 kilometers southeast of Zhangjiakou City and 127 kilometers from Madian Bridge on the Third Ring Road of Beijing via the Beijing-Tibet Expressway. The newly opened Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway has a station in Huailai.
Jimingyi got its name because it is backed by Jiming Mountain. According to the 'Huailai County Annals': 'During the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, the Eastern Turks invaded the Central Plains, and the border people could not live in peace. Therefore, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, personally led a military expedition and stayed at this mountain. At night, he heard the sound of chickens crowing on the mountain, hence the name Jiming Mountain.'
In terms of transportation and post roads, the terrain of Huailai is flanked by two mountains with a valley in between, forming an east-west corridor. To the west are the highlands and deserts, and to the east is the strategic pass of Juyong. This was the 'Shanggu Thoroughfare' during the pre-Qin period.
In the early Yuan Dynasty, a 'station' and an 'express post' were set up at the foot of Jiming Mountain to handle the transmission of military and political messages. During the Ming Dynasty, a city wall was built here, with two gates to the east and west, and the 'horse paths' served as the entry and exit routes for post horses. Jimingyi City is square-shaped, 467 meters long from east to west, and 463 meters wide from north to south. There are two main streets running through the city from east to west; the front street was a major street and once had the reputation of 'a street of merchants.' In the central area of the front street, there were the Guanyin Temple, Dragon King Temple, Three Observatories Temple, and the mansions and courtyards such as the He Family Courtyard; the back street had the Yongning Temple, Wenchang Temple, Taishan Temple, Sanyi Temple, Mawang Temple, and the post station's horse registry.
The 'He Family Courtyard' of Jimingyi became a popular attraction because it once hosted Empress Dowager Cixi.
In 1900, when the Eight-Nation Alliance occupied Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu stayed here for one night while fleeing to Xi'an. To this day, on the mountain wall of the second courtyard, there are four large characters in regular script, 'Hongxi Jiefu,' which are said to have been inscribed by Empress Dowager Cixi herself.
It was not until 1913, when the Beiyang government established the post office and abolished the post stations across the country, that Jimingyi City ended its 650-year history as a post station.
Beijing Vicinity | World Endangered Heritage, the Desolate Jīmíngyì Ancient Town!
Beijing Vicinity | World Endangered Heritage, the Desolate Jīmíngyì Ancient Town📜|||Approaching the walls of Jīmíngyì
A profound sense of age-old vicissitudes quietly creeps up
Entering the town feels like stepping into another era
The ancient walls, the eroded green bricks...
All appear desolate and mysterious
Many courtyards are in ruins
Through the broken window lattices
A strong sense of history hits you
The old post road tells tales of yesterday...
This Jīmíngyì town was a post station relic from the Ming dynasty
It is the largest post station in the vicinity of Beijing
And also the best-preserved one
It has now been listed as a World Endangered Heritage
Surprisingly, there are few tourists here
Apart from a few accommodations and eateries, there's little commercialization
Now wandering around, it feels more like an ancient village
Some simple folks recount the past people and events...
🔴 ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ【Main Buildings】
The scenic area has many buildings but they are all small, and each building is close to the other, you can visit each one, recommend the following main buildings:
☑️ He Family Courtyard

To this day, the gable wall of the second courtyard still bears the carved bricks with the characters '鸿禧接福', commemorating Empress Dowager Cixi's residence here
☑️ Mount Tai Temple

🏨 ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ【Accommodation】
The choice of accommodation is only a 10min drive to Arcadia International Hotel, the duplex parent-child room is very popular with children, and there is also an indoor swimming pool and outdoor sliding ring which are the favorites of the kids. The only downsides are poor sound insulation and a limited variety of breakfast, just a reference for you sisters~

is the largest and most complete ancient post station existing in the country, and is also a precious remnant of China's postal and military relay system, with significant historical, artistic, and scientific value. It is known as a 'living fossil' of postal archaeology and secret service archaeology.
Jimingyi was originally established as a relay route by Genghis Khan during his western campaign, and was expanded in the 18th year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1420) to become the first major station for the Dinghuo Prefecture to enter the capital. There are as many as 17 temples from the Ming and Qing dynasties within the city, most of which are well-preserved. The Ming and Qing murals remaining in the temples are still colorful, and the figures are lifelike. Its unique historical and cultural landscape and postal value have attracted a large number of visitors and film and television drama writers from home and abroad. It has also been listed by the World Monuments Fund as one of the 100 most endangered cultural heritages in the world, which shows the high value of its cultural relics.
Jimingyi Ancient City is located at the foot of Jiming Mountain on the north bank of the Yanghe River in Huailai County, covering an area of 22,000 square meters, with a nearly square plan and a city wall perimeter of 1891.8 meters. There are 4 corner towers evenly distributed around the city wall, with one city gate each on the east and west sides, equipped with gate towers, and smoke towers outside the city. The five roads inside the city crisscross, dividing the city into twelve areas of varying sizes. Existing relics include the Post Commissioner's Office and the Public Mansion Courtyard, as well as seven temples such as Taishan Temple, Wenchang Palace, Chenghuang Temple, Dragon God Temple, God of Wealth Temple, White-robed Guanyin Hall, and Yongning Temple, as well as the Hejia Courtyard, where Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu stayed when they fled to Xi'an.
Jimingyi Ancient City's travel guide:
There are farmhouses in Jimingyi City where you can stay and dine, with each room generally costing 50-80 yuan and offering basic conditions. You can choose to stay in Xiahuayuan District of Zhangjiakou City or Shacheng in Huailai County, both of which have more mature reception conditions, with various grades of hotels and guesthouses available for accommodation, with standard rooms in ordinary guesthouses costing about a hundred yuan.
The tourism development of Jimingyi Ancient City is still quite limited, and it is not as beautiful as the ancient towns of Pingyao and Xitang, but rather appears to be more dilapidated and disorderly, with more primitive buildings, etc. Please choose whether to visit according to personal preference.

Chongli's Love for Snow
Chongli, a small town covered in snow, attracts countless ski enthusiasts every winter. This winter, Chongli has welcomed an unexpected beauty - the stunning rime of Wanlong Ski Resort! The crystal clear ice hangings are like nature's artworks, making people exclaim how beautiful they are!
The Magic of Rime
Rime is a natural phenomenon that forms in low temperature and humid environments. When the temperature drops below 0°C, the water vapor in the air will directly condense into ice crystals and attach to the branches, forming crystal clear ice hangings. This time, Wanlong Ski Resort in Chongli has become an excellent stage for rime, which is amazing!
The Charm of the Silver Dragon Trail at the Top of the Mountain
To appreciate such a beautiful scene, you must not miss the Silver Dragon Trail at the top of Wanlong Ski Resort. This winding mountain road not only allows you to appreciate the magnificent mountains and rivers of Chongli, but also allows you to experience the excitement and fun of skiing. On this road, you will see patches of crystal clear rime, as if nature has prepared a surprise gift for you!
The Interchange Road of the Cloud Top Ski Resort
In addition to the Silver Dragon Trail at the top of the mountain, the interchange road from Wanlong to Cloud Top Ski Resort is also a good place to watch rime. The rime here is denser, like silver dragons wrapped around the branches, which reminds people of the ancient legends. Here, you can ski to your heart's content, while appreciating the wonders of nature, which is unforgettable!
