Jikepulin (Hemu) International Ski Resort
吉克普林国际滑雪度假区
A large ski resort near Hemu, known for natural powder snow in the Altai Mountains, long runs, and big vertical drops, making it a top winter destination in Xinjiang.
Jikepulin (Hemu) International Ski Resort sits in the Altai Mountains about 10 km east of Hemu Village. The snow season lasts roughly five months. Natural snowfall is abundant and the snow is dry and fluffy, so skiers consider it one of China's best powder ski areas. The resort has several advanced runs and long runs with substantial vertical drops, plus a beginner practice area. Cable cars, equipment rental, and lessons are all available. In winter, visitors often stay in Hemu Village, take a shuttle to the slopes during the day, and return to the village in the evening to see the snow-village night scenery. Ticket and cable car prices are set by the resort's announcements. Winter temperatures can drop to -30°C, so proper cold-weather gear is essential.
