Xiling Snow Mountain Ski Resort is the largest and best-equipped alpine ski resort in China. The resort incorporates snow skiing, grass skiing and other entertainment to create a year-round tourist destination. Skiers love Xiling's pure, natural and unspoiled snow and the scenery of the snow-blanketed forest. There are 7 international-standard trails which beckon ski-lovers and challenge even hardcore skiers. Views of the vast snow-covered forest, undulating countryside are renowned as "oriental Alps". OK, it may not match the European Alps for scale and dramatic mountains, but it’s a beautiful resort with a Chinese charm.

Xiling Snow Mountain also features alpine natural sights as rapids, waterfalls, sea of clouds, the sun rising, the forest Buddha Halo and Yinyang Boundary. In the morning, you may take the cable car up to an altitude of 3200m to view all the famous sight or indulge yourself in the ski. After lunch, we take cable car down to the hill and return to Chengdu city.
