    Do

    [edit]
    • Skiing at the Chengdu Xiling Snow-capped Mountain Skiing Resort (ski resort is a part Xiling Xueshan Resort), largest resort in Western China. its only good for amateurs and beginners. Snow cover is very iffy and conditions range from bad to awful. skiing and snow boarding casts ¥120 for an hour, ¥200 for 2 hours, ¥260 for 3 hours and so on but the administration asks you to deposit ¥500. There is an additional ¥50 fee to use chair lift (cable way) inside the resort. Escalator is also available inside the Skiing resort.
    • In addition to skiing, snow mobiles, dog sledges, a beautiful track around the park are main attractions. The trip there is very scenic and a nice way to see the bamboo foothills west of Chengdu.
    • Take a lot of cash as there is no ATM in the resort. Few places allow Chinese Debit cards but don't rely on that.
    • There are 6 hotels on the top of resort and are completely booked during peak seasons. so it is good to make a reservation if you are planning for a night stay. One hotel has a Buffet Restaurant (which mostly has Chinese food) and it accepts Debt cards and Bar (just drinks are available). Room rent varies from ¥780-1400 for different types of rooms. Ask every detail about the hotel before booking the room, don't hesitate even if the hotel management hesitate to talk in English.
