Chongli High-Speed Rail Skiing: 3 Resorts Hop
Take the high-speed rail directly to Taizicheng, stay at a ski resort hotel, and ski at Wanlong, Genting, and Thaiwoo.
The most hassle-free way to ski from Beijing during the snow season. No driving is required, and staying in the Genting or Wanlong area allows for ski-in/ski-out access. The first day is for travel and getting familiar with your gear; the middle two days are for skiing at Wanlong and Genting, and the last day is for visiting Thaiwoo before taking the high-speed rail back. This is suitable for intermediate skiers. Complete beginners can stay at one resort for lessons throughout the trip without needing to switch resorts.
Opening dates vary by resort, and shuttle bus schedules are adjusted each season; refer to resort announcements.
Day by day
Day 1 · High-Speed Rail to Chongli & Resort Check-in
Zhangjiakou & Chongli（Taizicheng Ice and Snow Town）
Take the high-speed rail from Beijing Bei (North) or Qinghe to Taizicheng Station (about 1 hour), then transfer to the resort shuttle bus to the hotel (about 20 minutes).
Book train tickets and shuttles in advance, as there is a lot of ski gear and luggage on weekends.
Stay: Genting–Wanlong Resort Hotels
Day 2 · Full Day Skiing at Wanlong
Zhangjiakou & Chongli（Wanlong Ski Resort）
If staying on the Wanlong side, you can access the ski lifts directly; if staying on the Genting side, take the ski lift over the mountain or take a taxi for about half an hour.
Look out for joint lift tickets during peak season; prices are subject to the current season's announcements.
Stay: Genting–Wanlong Resort Hotels
Day 3 · Full Day Skiing at Genting
Zhangjiakou & Chongli（Genting Snow Park）
Genting and Wanlong share the same mountain. It takes just a few minutes to walk or take a short shuttle from the hotel to the ski lifts. Spend the whole day within the resort.
Lifts may close due to strong winds on the mountain; check resort notifications before you start skiing.
Stay: Genting–Wanlong Resort Hotels
Day 4 · Half Day at Thaiwoo & Depart by High-Speed Rail
Zhangjiakou & Chongli（Thaiwoo Ski Resort）
Take a taxi or shuttle to Thaiwoo in the morning (about half an hour), ski until afternoon, then head to Taizicheng Station (about 10 minutes) to catch the high-speed rail back to Beijing.
Allow plenty of time to return ski gear and enter the station; buy return high-speed rail tickets in advance.
