‘UFO’ hall, ET ... and out of this world scenery
Print Edition
located in eastern Zhejiang Province, Diyijian Happy Valley is one of the biggest ski resorts in China. It is embraced by rolling mountains, leading to the sensation that you are in an oxygen bar nestled in this naturally beautiful setting.
You can get to the UFO-like main reception hall by cable car, offering a gorgeous aerial view of the resort. In the hall, skiers can rent skis, snowboards, snow boots and other equipment.
Three runs with artificial snow offer plenty of opportunities for different levels — from complete beginners to the most seasoned skiers.
And as beginners don’t have to share their slopes with veteran skiers zooming past, they can build up their confidence more quickly.
On runs of variable styles, you can choose to take a breathtaking leap, slide down looking cool and nonchalant or enjoy the changing scenery at an unhurried pace.
All in all, you are left with the impression that you are skiing in a picture postcard scene.
The ski resort is known for the high quality of artificial snow, which is made by one of the most advanced snowmakers in China, ensuring a high level of comfort.
Ski instructors can be hired for 200 yuan per hour, and if you want to try something different, snowmobiles and dog sleds are also available.
Other attractions include an amusement park — complete with a 12-meter model of a skier, dinosaurs and ET — offering fun away from the slopes and helping create a family-friendly atmosphere.
Opening hours: 8:30am-4:30pm, daily, late December to early March
How to get there:
From Shanghai: Hukun Expressway — Hangzhou Bay Ring Expressway — Hangzhou Bay Bridge — Shenhai Expressway — S13Expressway
