Harbin's Yabuli Ski Resort
The Yabuli Ski Resort is China's most comprehensive ski resort. It is the competition venue for many international sports events including the Winter Universiade and the Asia Winter Games.
The resort is conveniently connected to Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province, by highway and rail. Due to its northern location, the resort remains open about 150 days every year. The resort used to be the hunting ground for imperial families in the Qing dynasty. Because of Harbin's close communication with neighboring Russian cities, the resort has a healthy selection of Russian entertainment programs in its hotels and restaurants.
Harbin's Yabuli Ski Resort is a US-China joint venture and a lot of its equipment has been imported to guarantee its quality and ability to meet international standards. The resort also serves as a training base for China's winter sports athletes.
