Zhangjiakou Chongli Yunding Ski Resort Itinerary

I love skiing, this winter I want to go skiing, after repeatedly thinking, I decided to go to Chongli Genting Ski Resort to have good skiing to do. A few months earlier, I had already come to Chongli Wanlong Snowfield once, so this is indeed an excellent place to go. Miyu Genting Resort is located in Chongli County, Zhangjiakou, which is a 3-hour drive from Beijing. Chongli County was elected to hold the Winter Olympics, so Chongli County is continuously developing its equipment and facilities in recent years. Chongli County locals are amiable, believe that anyone who comes here has a different feeling. Here are the best snow conditions in China; every winter snow season is the first to start and the last to end; believe that anyone who comes here has a different feeling.
Genting Paradise is also ranked as the best in China under its good hardware facilities. Genting Ski Resort has 22 gondolas with a total length of about 30 kilometers. It is equipped with gondolas where skiers can rest and avoid the wind, not only the gondolas but also the chairlift shields to block the wind and ultraviolet radiation. Genting ski resort is the most exquisite chalet, and every ski resort should have a single chalet. Genting’s chalet is the most comfortable built, on the second floor, can also enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window. The first floor has a variety of food and drinks to provide sufficient energy to maintain physical strength. The first floor has a variety of food and beverages to provide the power necessary to maintain stability. Of course, all the medicine is paid for by yourself. If you have forgotten something, you can find the right shop and merchandise in the ski equipment hall.
Many beginners may not know that Genting and Wanlong Ski Resort are connected. You can ski from Genting to Wanlong and ski down to Genting from Wanlong, but it’s only the last trip of the day because you can’t do the lift on the other side of the mountain, so as long as you go through the other ski resort, you can’t go back unless you are willing to climb the hill.
Genting has some of the best trails for beginners, especially for snowboarding. You can often see many novice snowboarders practicing pushing the slopes here.
Genting ski resort has an essential snow park, I love to play park, and Genting park difficulty is not significant, want to play park novice can come to Genting try. Genting jumping platforms of considerable size and small can be divided into large, medium, small three kinds. The largest compared to other snow also is not significant, here suitable for park novice, can let you less injury, here from time to time will also have park gods appear, if you do not understand the big can with them to ask for advice.

Another thing worth describing Chongli, Miyuan, and Genting Paradise is its accommodation and cultural characteristics. The facilities in the Genting Hotel are of the highest quality, and the overall view is elegant and detailed. As soon as you enter the hotel from the parking lot’s side entrance, you will find the bar. The bar is filled with a wide variety of wines. You can find different liquor and vintages of various brands such as Chivas, Ballantine’s, Hennessy, Macallan, John Jameson, and so on. Passing through the sports bar is the impression bar. Guests can come here to have fun, relax and stretch their legs after a long break. If you pass the Impression Bar, you will see the lobby of the hotel.
The first thing you see is the large lotus flower in the central pool, and then you look up to see the chandelier on the ceiling. The overall combination of cold and warm tones brings an inexpressible sense of peace and comfort to the human heart. Genting Hotel 1 floor is the lobby, Genting Bar, 2 foot is mainly snow hall, ski school, etc., three bed is the restaurant, four-floor above all guest room accommodation. Housing conditions in the Genting Hotel are not known, but I feel very comfortable and warm. The standard room has two adult beds and two children’s beds. The facilities are complete, and it is a double bathroom! There is a small cupboard in the room, and instant coffee and tea bags are also available. The crib is about 2 meters long, so even one adult can sleep on it (except for those who are very tall). The crib is also equipped with a curtain, so you can curl up in the corner and have a nice, relaxing sleep.

The same Chongli is not only cost-effective but also very convenient to get around. First of all, we can take a flight to Zhangjiakou airport. Each hotel has a 1-hour airport connection, Zhangjiakou airport is a small airport, but they connect flights to Shenzhen, Shanghai, Chengdu, Shijiazhuang, Xiamen, Harbin, Shenyang, Guilin, Xi’an, and Hangzhou. Secondly, we can go there by high-speed train, which takes only one hour from Beijing to Zhangjiakou. We can also choose to drive there, and it only takes 4 hours to go from Beijing to Chongli.

Mexico is one of the best vacation on can take. Benito Juárez, which is one of the largest residential areas in Mexico City is a fantastic place to stay. There are many resorts that all of the rooms are in walking distance from the beach, the pool, the restaurants, the clubs and  the work out center. This makes it easy to spend a lot of time at the pool and the beach. But, there is always excursions close by that are well worth the time spent away from the resort. I stayed at Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera, which is a great option.

One excursion that is fun is snorkeling. The boat rides are beautiful. While we were there we took a snorkeling excursion. You start off by getting on the boat, and are surrounded by gorgeous blue water  that feels like it goes on forever. You boat around for awhile until finding an open spot where then they let you swim and  jump off the boat. They also bring paddle boards along with you so that is an option as well. After swimming and paddle boarding for about 30 minutes they have you get back onto the boat to find a good place to snorkel. This is one of the best parts of the whole trip. You see so many cute little fish, and then also got to see some turtles which are one of my favorite animals. The water was so clear that you could see everything. The beautiful corals, the fish and all of the beautiful features of the ocean. As you are on the way back to the drop off location they gave us food, and many yummy drinks. They give you a platter of four different foods, which were fruit, chips and guacamole, a salad and chicken.

When going to Mexico one of the excursions I highly recommend is going zip lining. There is a location called Xei Ha Hidden Wonder. There are spots to take pictures with beautiful parrots, float down a river, zip line, go hiking and swimming in these magnificent caves, go cliff jumping and go down water slides. One of the best parts of this excursion is the caves. There were so many of them and each one of them had its own original look to it. The zip lining is extremely fun, and a great time for all ages. It was surrounded by beautiful trees, and the water was so clear underneath you.

This is a picture of one of the caves. You can see how beautiful the colors are and how each of the rocks almost have their own personality.

Overall, Mexico was one of the most beautiful and fun places to visit. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a fun and relaxing vacation to go here. There are so many different options for places to stay, excursions to go on and the best part is it is all up to you. If someone wants to sit and relax by the pool or beach all day they can do that, or if somebody wants to go on adventures and see so many beautiful places and things they can do that as well.
