User Reviews

By Leesing Xiaoxin |

For children who have never skied before, the Yabuli Sunshine Resort Ski Resort is a paradise, with a huge snow field where you can ski to your heart's content.



One skiing trip lasts three hours, and if you exceed the time limit, you will be charged an additional fee. I originally thought that three hours was not enough, but three hours is enough. After all, the skis and ski boots are quite heavy, and they consume a lot of physical energy. I felt quite tired after basically two hours.



There are instructors here who can teach you how to ski, but they're an extra fee. If you don't have any basic skills, I recommend just trying it out and getting a feel for it. There's no need to waste money, as it's quite expensive. If you have some basic skills and want to improve, consider hiring an instructor.

By Jessie Arrives |

Arriving at the train station at 10:30 AM, it was a 5-minute drive to the New Sports Committee Ski Resort. Yabuli Ski Resort is a national 5S-rated ski resort, comprised of the New Sports Committee Ski Resort, Sunshine Resort Ski Resort, and Yawangsi Ski Resort. New Sports Committee Ski Resort is the largest and more suitable for beginners, making it the most popular choice. I booked a 3-hour ski ticket on Taobao for 100 yuan per person, and rented a ski suit and goggles for 50 yuan each, which was still significantly cheaper than the retail price. The vendor also provided free shuttle service from Yabuli South Station.

By Purring Cat |

The exhilarating skiing experience is truly worth the trip! Skiing is truly exhilarating! Skiing is truly a fascinating sport, and you'll regret not giving it a try. Beginners should ideally hire an instructor, as it's incredibly difficult to navigate the slopes. The instructor will guide you down the 1,000-meter-long slopes, and even if you can't master them, the feeling of plunging down from such heights is truly unforgettable. Getting started with skiing and snowboarding was quick. I was incredibly nervous at first, but once I mastered the technique, I was able to ski almost independently.

By Jiao Youyou |

Ski tickets, skis, ski boots, ski poles, helmets, goggles, snowsuits, beginner magic carpet, intermediate cable car, shuttle service to the ski resort, 180 per person

The horse-drawn sleigh is 150 yuan per person, and one sleigh can accommodate 6 people. The route of this sleigh-riding attraction is long, with several attractions inside, such as a farmyard, a bandit's nest, and a tiger stronghold. The horse-drawn sleigh ride also comes with a free snow flying saucer. The snow scenery in the woods is beautiful, and you can take pictures at will and stop at any time. The world's first slide is the longest slide in Asia. It is located in the Sunshine Ski Resort. You can take a tourist cable car to the top of Sanguokui Mountain. The scenery above is beautiful, and you can see the rime on the top. After sightseeing, you can take the slide car down. The ticket price is 200 yuan.

The Deep Forest Train, with a ticket price of 100, is a tourist train that goes through the deep forest, which has a small zoo and so on.

The best hot spring here is Shenlin Hot Spring, which has indoor and outdoor hot springs, and steam room night tickets are 98

The feeling of skiing is really great, but it's too rip-off. For beginners who go skiing at the New Sports Commission, the coach charges 240 for two hours. Don't think that there are two or three people to one coach, because the coaches are one-on-one and will take you down the intermediate ski slopes. The teams will never mention tips at the beginning. Even in the lobby, because I had read the reviews before, I mentioned the tip indirectly, "It's 240 for them, isn't there some for you?" They will tell you righteously, "No, no, no, we are a formal state-owned enterprise. For a ticket price of 240, we only charge a commission of 60. It's all formal." Then after you go in, they are so enthusiastic that you are not used to it. Smokers will pass you cigarettes, and children will pass you candies and help you put on your shoes. Then when we took the cable car up the mountain, he deliberately sat in a car alone with you, and then said that it’s not easy for us in the service industry. The ticket price is 240, but we only get a commission of 60. When it comes to tips, you gave him 100, but he still thought you were treating beggars well. In the end, the two of you gave a tip of 200 each, a total of 400. In the end, he said to you, "The tip is a matter of heaven and earth, known only to you and me." I know NM, such a good ski place has been ruined by these people who charge money without permission!!!

By echo tassel |

Of course it is the best ski resort, the facilities and venues are all top-notch

There are quite a lot of people in the beginner's field. Also, be careful about the issue of private instructors asking for tips, as the rules do not allow tips.

By Bear Baby TF |

The entire trip felt like a warm family get-together. We gradually got to know each other better, and the conversations became even more joyful. The instructors here are said to be relatively cheap, at ¥240 for two hours. So our tour leader suggested we hire an instructor (we skied twice on this trip, once at Yabuli and once at Vanke. The Vanke instructors were ¥200 an hour, much more expensive). So, thankfully, we hired one. The instructor started by changing into snowshoes and skis and stayed with you all the way to the end... (Of course, the reason for the tip at the end was because you'd be asking for it. It's up to you whether you give it or not; it's not your obligation, but as a kindhearted person like me, I couldn't refuse). For various reasons... I didn't get to take any photos of the skiing, but I had a lot of fun. Thanks to the instructor's care, I didn't fall at all.

By Xia Meng sees the world |

Yabuli is a renowned ski resort in China, offering professional tracks. Beginners can only try the beginner tracks at best. The daytime skiing fee at Yabuli Ski Resort is 200 RMB per person for two hours. Snowboards and boots are included, but ski suits, goggles, and a locker are all required for rental, which can be quite expensive. Of course, the most expensive part is hiring a coach, which also costs 200 RMB per person for two hours, or 240 RMB per person for two hours on holidays. Some coaches will even ask for tips, claiming that their coaching fees go to the ski center and that they don't receive a salary. Whether this is true or not, we're not a country that relies on tipping.

In fact, if you want to truly learn and master skiing, it is impossible to do it in just a few hours. If you have the time and conditions, you can stay in this place for a few more days to learn more accurately. Seeing others skiing at lightning speed and with ease, you will envy them...

By Doraemon is Peppa Pig |

As a novice, I have a coach. The coach is charged separately and it is very interesting to try it out.

By New Heart |

It's nice and big, and there's a so-called coach accompanying me. The fee is 240.

By Fang Fang Baby |

The ski resort is very large, with many ski slopes and a long slide at the top of the mountain. It is a great ski resort.

By Lots of blessings |

Yabuli, formerly known as Yabuloni, means "fruit garden" in Russian. During the Qing Dynasty, it served as a hunting ground for the imperial family and Manchu nobles. The ski resort is surrounded by mountains, dense forests, and deep snow, creating spectacular scenery. Sanguokui, the main peak of Guokui Mountain, has been developed into a large tourist ski resort. Daguokui and Erguokui were once the tracks for the 3rd Asian Winter Games and serve as a training base for national ski athletes. Whether in terms of the number, length, and drop height of the slopes, or other ski facilities and comprehensive service levels, Yabuli Ski Resort far surpasses other ski resorts in China and is undoubtedly the best in China. It is an ideal venue for both competitive and tourist skiing, successfully hosting all snow events of the 3rd Asian Winter Games in 1996. It is also the permanent venue for the annual meeting of the China Entrepreneurs Forum, earning it the nickname "China's Davos."

By Don't lose your way |

Skiing is so much fun! I love it! The facilities here are so complete, it's truly one of the best ski resorts. My hometown ski resort pales in comparison! I feel like even a fall here doesn't hurt. It's so fun! Hahaha! It's quite far from the city, so I recommend taking the train or taking a two-day tour for more convenience! Two days is even more fun. Even after all the falls, I don't feel bad about winter anymore!

By Qin |

The scenery is quite beautiful, and the trail is quite long and quite steep. Since we were a large family, we booked a guide and included the activities. The ski instructor cost 200 per person, but I think it's enough to have one instructor. It's not necessary for everyone to have one. It's easy to get the hang of it after practicing a few times and finding your balance. Don't be afraid of falling; it won't hurt much, but you might be wearing too much. Safety is important. The biggest drawback is that after sliding down, you have to walk back up with your gear, which is quite tiring.

By China-TravelNote users |

My itinerary in Yabuli was too casual, leaving me with insufficient time for skiing, and I didn't get to fully enjoy it. Arriving in Xuexiang, without a companion, I relied on my instructor's one-hour instruction and headed for the beginner slopes on my own, where I continued to ski and slide with gusto. Initially, I felt a bit nervous without my instructor, afraid to let go. I tried my best to brake and control my speed, kneeling low to keep a low pace. As I skied, I grew bolder and began to push myself faster, descending from high slopes and losing control near the bottom. Once, I let my speed run wild and accidentally fell, leaving my mouth full of snow (not blood, but snow).

By Piscesplus |

Xuexiang is quite far from Yabuli Ski Resort, and the drive takes about 2 hours. We have never skied before, and the tour we signed up for included skiing and coaching fees.

I think hiring a trainer is absolutely essential! The slopes are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. However, most people are at the beginner level, while the best skiers will go down to the intermediate level. I guess only the best skiers would go to the advanced slopes!

There were a lot of people skiing at that time, most of them were concentrated on the beginner ski slopes...

If you hire a coach, he will teach you the basic skiing posture and method. I think it is very useful and I have almost mastered it. The coach will also take you to the intermediate ski slope. He took us to ski twice and it was very fun. There are very few people on the intermediate slope.

But tipping the coach is a real bummer...

You should definitely tell them how much to give in advance. However, they will ask for more tips after they have taught you.

By liy-Xian |

There are many instructors who are eager to take you up the slopes and teach you how to ski. This will cost extra, and some will even ask for tips. It all depends on your ability to convince others.

By LM |

Skiing is quite affordable, but hiring a coach is very expensive if you don’t know how to ski.

By ZQ |

China's best ice and snow entertainment center, a very perfect skiing experience, go to Yabuli, the new sports committee, you will feel skiing is so joyful

By Come on, daddy |

Personally, I feel it’s just average, and skiing isn’t at this ski resort, so let’s just leave it that way.

By lemon |

Skiing is a must, you need a good coach, it's a completely different experience.

By Xiao Degree - Northeast Celsius |

When you're in Northeast China and want to enjoy the snow, you can't miss Yabuli. With dozens of ski resorts, some of which even have professional slopes for hosting competitions, Yabuli is a paradise for ski enthusiasts.

By Woolen Joe |

1. Please prepare a hat, gloves, neck cover, and mask before skiing, as it is very cold;

2. Be sure to rent a set of ski clothes so that you won’t get your clothes wet if you fall and you can also keep warm;

3. Ski goggles should only be rented when the sun is really strong. We bought them just for props.

4. All ski instructors are one-on-one, with a transparent fee of 240 yuan per person for 2 hours, including children. For first-time skiers, it is highly recommended to pay the price. 240 yuan is a reasonable fee. Even the coaches in Xuexiang are not very professional, but they still charge 240 yuan. The key is that you can learn some small tricks. After the instructors finish teaching, they will ask for tips. The amount you give depends on the service attitude, and 20, 30-100 yuan is acceptable.

5. Although we have booked 4 hours of skiing, the conveyor belt in the park will be closed at 4 pm. If you arrange your time reasonably, I think 3 hours of skiing will be enough.



Share Joe's skiing experience: First, overcome the psychological barriers and don't be afraid. The more you worry about falling, the easier it is to fall. Secondly, after learning the basic operations such as getting on the board and holding the poles, you must lean forward during the descent and keep your center of gravity forward. The trick to braking is to turn your feet inwards. The wider your feet are, the slower your speed. Finally, don't be afraid of falling. Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. Skiing is exciting and fulfilling.

Yabuli Ski Village One-Day Tour 400 yuan with car escort

By Invincible large dumplings |

The instructor was very good. Although tipping is required, it is not mandatory. The instructor helped with snowshoes and snowboards and also helped with returning things when leaving. It was really convenient. The teaching was also very good and the chat was very interesting. I recommend my instructor. His phone number is 13074565875. We also had dinner together in the evening. The instructor can't drink much. Maybe he is a fake Northeasterner. 😄

By Director Zhong's Travel Photography |

We came here with great excitement, but we didn't expect the experience here to be so annoying. After we bought the tickets, we were followed by a "coach", who said he was a tutor for beginners. In fact, the content of his explanation was very limited. He mainly asked tourists to tip them, and the amount was not low, usually starting from 100+, and some even asked for 200+. The service was only about 2 hours. In addition to the ski fee, coach fee, and tip, it was really a considerable expense and would make you feel disgusted. Such a famous ski resort actually has these boring invisible "service items", which shows how chaotic the management is.

By Tongtong |

Don't trust local tour guides, especially those recommended in reviews. It's best to go on your own! I didn't understand at the time and signed up for a tour group for 138 yuan. They said the Yabuli skiing trip included transportation and a lunch. I didn't want to bother, so I signed up. The next morning, we left at 5:00 a.m., and I was surprised at the early departure. Only after we got on the bus did the tour guide tell us it was a "naked tour" and that we had to add other options like "A" and "B." "A" was 750 yuan, and "B" was 950 yuan. At first, I thought I was just skiing, so I didn't need to add any packages. But the tour guide kept dragging me along, making it seem like I owed her anything. 🙄 She said everyone else on the bus had added packages, but I didn't. She even told me I wouldn't wait on the bus if I didn't add any. I had no choice but to add a 200 yuan tour. I don't think any of those options were that fun, but if you're a wealthy person, that's a different story. By the way, during the process, the tour guide kept saying that he would give me discounts or something, but I later agreed reluctantly. I heard that all tours are like this, so those who sign up for a tour and just want to ski need to be cautious.

Let's talk about the Yabuli ski resort. If you're booking a tour, you'll usually find that the tour guide will take you to a place to rent ski suits and goggles midway. I recommend avoiding that place, as it's quite expensive. If you want to rent, go to the Yabuli ski resort. The prices there are 90 yuan a day for suits and 50 yuan for goggles. You can compare them yourself. I didn't rent anything, and I felt the tour guide was a bit alarmist. I wore a short down jacket and wasn't cold at all; I even sweated. Of course, you should bring your own hat, earmuffs, and mask (and ideally, use heat packs on your feet). So whether to rent or not, and what to rent, is entirely up to you. As for the instructor, if you need one, hire one. It seems to be 240 yuan for two hours, and you can hire a group, but you can always try it out on your own first. I initially researched skiing tips online, and I didn't fall on the beginner slopes, and they went pretty smoothly. With some photos and some fun, the two hours went by quickly, so I don't think hiring an instructor is necessary.

I wrote this guide because I think the route from Harbin to Yabuli is quite shady. If you have the means, it's best to go on your own. There are trains and buses from Harbin to Yabuli. You can check online, and China-TravelNote also has some packages with transfers to and from the scenic area.

I'll also share the most hassle-free route: join a tour group. But be resolute and don't agree to anything the tour guide says! If things are truly overwhelming, book the cheapest option available. This way, you'll minimize your losses. The above is my personal, blood-and-sweat experience, and I hope it helps!

By Shanlitian |

It was quite crowded and a bit chaotic, but the service was excellent. They answered the phone at 15046173271 patiently throughout the entire trip and were always available to answer any questions. It was my first time skiing, and I had a blast. I scrambled down the intermediate slopes without a trainer on my first try, and fell three times on my second. It felt great and I had a blast. For those who don't know how to ski, my advice is: if you feel like you're getting too fast and can't control your footing, try rolling to the side. This way, you won't hurt yourself, and be sure not to hit anyone.

By Lazy Cat |

There are beginner, intermediate and advanced ski slopes. I just saw someone skiing down the mountain. In any case, you should have all the equipment.

By Wang Mingfang |

Yabuli Ski Resort is a relatively large ski resort in Northeast China with more ski trails. It is especially suitable for first-time skiers. Every year, people from all over the country come here to ski. It is especially convenient to go to Yabuli from Harbin, as the entire route is on the highway and there are trains.

Accommodation and dining are also very convenient here. We choose to go there to play on weekdays and weekends.

By China-TravelNote users |

There is no snow in this season, but starting from Harbin, the scenery on both sides of the highway is already beautiful.

By Blue Mood Q |

I personally think it's worth going. The local friends are very enthusiastic and the ski slopes are great.

By rhode |

It was my first time skiing, and it was great. The child had a good balance, and the ski slope was large but not too steep.

By Rice ball karenchow |

I came here specifically to ski. The ski resort feels pretty good. I started my first skiing here.

By Black Horse |

1. Yabuli Ski Resort

The Yabuli Ski Resort is comprised of three high mountains: Daguokui, Erguokui, and Sanguokui. They are clearly visible from Yabuli South Station. Yabuli boasts several ski resorts: the New Sports Commission Ski Resort, the Xinhao Sunshine Resort (formerly Windmill Villa), the Yawangs Hotel Ski Resort, the Daqingshan Ski Resort, the Jiaotong Villa Ski Resort, and the Haohanpo Ski Resort. With the exception of the New Sports Commission Ski Resort in Daguokui and the Xinhao Sunshine Resort in Sanguokui, which offer a variety of beginner, intermediate, and advanced slopes, all other resorts offer only beginner-level slopes.

Of the many ski resorts available, I chose the New Sports Commission Ski Resort and the New Hao Sunshine Resort. A week before my trip, I asked Yu Yang of Yabuli Chunxueju Mountain Villa which ski resort was best. Yu Yang told me that the New Sports Commission Ski Resort was more suitable for beginners, like those of us who had never skied before, while the New Hao Sunshine Resort was more suitable for advanced skiers.

Following Yu Yang's advice, we chose the New Sports Committee Ski Resort and were very satisfied with the results. Furthermore, even if you don't ski, you can still enjoy the skiers' graceful movements and the spectacular sight of people falling over themselves. My wife and mother-in-law, who don't ski, helped my daughter and me look after things, saving us from renting a ski locker and allowing us to browse freely. It was a great way to experience skiing; otherwise, we would have spent most of the day in the hotel.

2. Skiing Fees of Yabuli New Sports Committee

If you ask me, it's a bit pricey, but my daughter had a blast, so it was worth it. The day before leaving for Harbin, I confirmed a four-hour ski trip for two at the New Sports Commission Ski Resort with Yu Yang and arranged a chartered car to Xuexiang (500 yuan). The four-hour ski trip at the New Sports Commission cost 480 yuan for two people (240 yuan per person). I hired a female instructor for four hours of practice with my daughter, 480 yuan (240 yuan for two hours, 300 yuan for three hours). I tipped the instructor 500 yuan (usually 90-100 yuan per hour, and I was thinking of giving the instructor a 400 yuan tip, as is customary in the industry). But then the beautiful instructor said it was a round number during Chinese New Year, and I was stunned. What did she mean by a round number? She was supposed to give 500 yuan. But after thinking about how dedicated the instructor was to my daughter and how much she enjoyed skiing, I agreed. At Yu Yang's Chunxueju Mountain Villa, I rented two sets of ski clothes for 120 yuan (60 yuan each), a helmet for 60 yuan (30 yuan each), and goggles for 10 yuan (10 yuan per pair). All skiing fees total 1,650 yuan.

Regarding the question of whether to hire a coach, for friends who have never skied, I just want to say one thing: if you want to fully enjoy the fun of skiing, hire a coach.

By Ren Fangfang_hhu |

Anyone who wants to ski must go there, it's so big, with beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. I skied for four hours with no basic skills and was able to ski the intermediate slopes. I was so happy!

By Heavy rain causes flooding |

On the way back to Harbin from Xueyang, we went to Yabuli Ski Resort and skied for a while.

However, it is definitely not a race track, but a practice field.

By bering |

Those who have never skied before can go and experience it. Because we only had 2 hours at Yabuli Ski Resort, so, including the first time changing shoes, etc., we spent a lot of time. In fact, we didn’t have much time to ski. Moreover, the shoes and bags you take off cannot be stored together. They have to be stored separately, and each costs 20 yuan. This is the first time I have encountered such a storage method. If it is lost, the receipt for the bag will also be lost. Wouldn’t it be possible for someone else to claim it? I don’t understand if this is another place that is crazy about money. As soon as I entered the shoe changing area, people kept coming to ask if I wanted a coach. I thought that I would only be skiing for about an hour, just for fun, and it didn’t matter how well I learned, so I didn’t ask for a coach! Yabuli Ski Resort was not a very pleasant experience from beginning to end!

By Happy Ranger |

It has the world's longest 2680-meter summer slide (dry land sled) introduced from Germany, providing tourists with alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, sledding, snowmobiling, dog sledding, horse-drawn sledding, ice skating on the lake, making snowmen, snow fireworks and bonfire parties, and other entertainment activities.

By Wheat ears |

The ski resort is nice, and it would be a waste for a newbie like me to go to such a good ski resort.

By Warm |

The coaches are quite expensive, but it would be a shame not to hire them.

By F-Ayan |

Compared to other resorts, Yabuli is international in terms of both the slopes and the lobby service. Even laymen would think it is very high-end. After all, it is the largest tourist competitive ski resort in Asia.

By Langtaosha Travel May |

Yabuli Ski Resort is a national AAAA-level scenic spot and the best place for competitive skiing and tourist skiing in my country!

By Go Travel |

Yabuli Ski Resort is a famous ski tourist destination both at home and abroad and a national 4A-level ski tourist resort. Yabuli has many ski resorts and the world's first ski slope. In short, it is a good choice to come here to experience skiing in winter.

By Mouse 1 |

The facilities are very comprehensive. Those who have never skied before are advised to hire a trainer, which costs 240 yuan per person for two hours. Please note that if you book a two-hour ticket, the time starts from the time you pick up the first piece of equipment and ends when you return the last one. Any overtime will incur an additional charge. Hiring a trainer will take full responsibility for managing your time, helping you take photos, and ensuring you don't waste two hours. Most importantly, they ensure your safety, so it's a must-have. Even young people can master the basics in two hours.

By Chongli ski instructor |

There are dozens of ski slopes in Yabuli Ski Resort. As a coach in Yabuli for more than ten years, I personally think that the ski slopes of the new Sports Commission are better. The beginner slopes are very suitable for people who have never skied before. The moderate slope can satisfy those who pursue the excitement of skiing, and can also lay a good foundation with peace of mind. Coaches are indispensable. It is a bit high that the coaching fee is. However, each coach is very attentive. From the beginning of receiving the ski equipment to the end of skiing, it will at least help you save 20 minutes to experience skiing. For beginners, wearing snowshoes and hats correctly and other protective measures are key. I have personally seen people wearing snowshoes upside down, and you also need to understand the safety knowledge of the snow slopes. If you fall or hurt yourself while out playing, it will affect your mood for travel. The advanced slopes of the new Sports Commission are also great. Don’t look at the many slopes. None of them can be compared with the championship slopes. This is really a training base for athletes. Many international competitions have been held here. For those who really ski, hotels and farmhouses are not picky. It depends on your financial strength. The room rates range from 100 to several thousand. But skiing is not cheap. 😄😄Okay, that’s all I have to say. If you don’t understand, you can ask

Yabuli is a very suitable place for skiing. It has a large area and is less stimulating. It is worth going for beginners.

On my fourth day in Harbin, I woke up to a light snowfall. It was the first snow I'd seen in over 20 years! So exciting! I heard snowy days are perfect for skiing!

If you're planning to go skiing in Yabuli, remember to make reservations in advance. Buying tickets from the hotel owner is cheaper than buying them online.

4 hours of beginner skiing, 240 yuan/person; 2 hours of ski coaching, 240 yuan/person. Of course, this is the price agreed with the hotel owner, and he will send someone to pick you up.

What's it like to ski in the snow? I don't know how to describe it; you have to experience it yourself. At that point, I couldn't focus on two things at once. I was completely absorbed in the snow, flipping countless somersaults in it. Just let me stay rooted in it! I was dizzy and, for the first time, felt completely powerless about sports... Fortunately, I did manage to achieve some minor success.

We skied for 4 hours and it felt like the time was just right, not too short and not too long. If it was any longer we really wouldn't have the energy to ski anymore.

P.S. If you can skate, you can ski because the principles are the same. The worst thing is to be like me and not be able to learn either! ~

If you're lucky, you might even see the national team members training! But I don't even know what they look like or what their names are, so forget it.



There are different levels of skiing at the ski resort, with different fees. We chose the beginner level. We went up in the gondola and slid down. I really can't ski, and I fell so hard I almost died...

P.S.: Some guides say that the hanging basket can only go up but not down, which is actually a lie. You can ride it back and forth.

The place is not big, it is suitable for beginners to play, it is quite good.

The legendary Yabuli Ski Resort is not so good. It seems a little expensive O(∩_∩)O haha~

We took the train there and returned the same day. At South Station, buses from various ski resorts pick up tourists. We boarded the New Sports Commission bus, which was free. After boarding, a staff member asked if we had made reservations. We had no idea what reservations were required beforehand, assuming we could just pay at the resort and go. So, we asked her to help us get a ski pass. There were two-hour and four-hour options, and we booked a four-hour pass for 240 RMB. Four hours was plenty of time, just enough for fun. The four hours start from the time you pick up your first ski gear and end when you return it. At the New Sports Commission, a staff member helped us get the pass and collected a 60 RMB deposit, which is refunded upon return. We then rented a locker for our backpacks and shoes. I think the locker cost 10 RMB per locker. Keep your valuables with you, and remember to keep your phone secure, as it's bound to die after skiing. Hiring a trainer is more fun; the two-hour pass costs 240 RMB. Don't be afraid to take the cable car up to the higher slopes with your instructor; they'll take good care of you. Actually, skiing is easy if you learn to brake and don't panic when going fast. At the end of the lesson, the instructor will ask for a tip... If you don't give, they'll keep pestering you... We did, though; the amount is up to you. Keep your phone and portable camera secure, or else they might die right after skiing, making it difficult to take photos.

Skiing in Yabuli was the highlight of my trip to Harbin. Firstly, the prices were affordable, and secondly, the skiing was fantastic. However, the instructor's request for tips was a bit off-putting; from the moment they greeted customers to the moment they chatted, their attempts to get tips were too direct. However, it didn't dampen my enjoyment of skiing at all. Next time, I'll definitely take the train to Yabuli.

The ski slopes are fantastic, but skiing itself is a dangerous sport. Be sure to hire a coach if you're new to skiing. Otherwise, you won't be able to play well, waste time, and be dangerous! Taobao tickets are 99 yuan for two hours, and a coach is 240 yuan for two hours.

It's minus 17 degrees in Yabuli! Wearing the new 2026 work clothes, I'm not cold at all 😂😂 Skiing is so exciting! I didn't expect that even someone as dumb as me could learn it 😜😜 Hey, come on over~

By Smilezsd |

I went to Yabuli Ski Resort around this time last year! The weather was great and there was almost no wind! So even though I’m afraid of the cold, I had a lot of fun.

We took a one-day tour and were cheated by the tour guide. We had to wait outside for the bus to pick us up to go skiing. The area for beginners was not big and there were too many people. But we still had a lot of fun skiing.

By Enjoy Travel |

The Yabuli Ski Resort has beautiful scenery. I am a local guide and I am very familiar with this place. I grew up here. If you need any help, you can communicate with me.

Yabuli Ski Resort is the closest and best ski resort to Harbin. I went there earlier this year and stayed at Club Med. The price was a bit high, but it was definitely worth the experience. You can take the train from Harbin to Yabuli South, then take a taxi or have the hotel pick you up. Club Med also offers beginner skiing lessons, which gives you an added sport and experience. It's fantastic!

Yabuli Ski Resort is currently the largest ski resort in China and also the largest comprehensive snow training center in my country.

The ski resort facilities are really high-end. After the Spring Festival, there are not many people skiing. The author was tricked into taking the cable car up and fell on the big slope about five or six times. I gradually got the hang of it. I was still very happy. Although I fell hard, the snow got into my pants and my butt was wet because the belt of my jumpsuit was not tight enough. I was still very happy.

We went to Yabuli skiing on the way. The ticket was 200 yuan per person, and hiring a coach was also 200 yuan per person. It was such a rip-off. The tour group only cost about 100 yuan, including the car fee and ticket. I can only blame myself for not having a good plan B~~ Then when we entered the door, there was an X sign that said "No Tips", which means that if a coach asks for tips, please remember the coach's number and the amount and complain. I didn't care much at first, and then after the practice, the coach, a woman, kept asking, "Do you have any rewards for having fun?" I was a little embarrassed when I heard it. I spent so much money to ski for 2 hours, and I was asked for a tip. I was really angry. Later, she kept asking me, and I ignored her~!

When you put on your skis and goggles, you feel so cool. It is fun and exciting, and most importantly, it is easy to learn. No wonder so many people like this sport.

Finally, I would like to reiterate to everyone that if you want to join a tour group, you must be careful about being ripped off. As far as I know, there is no tour group departing from Harbin that does not rip people off. Unless you can endure being abandoned and some unfair treatment as firmly as we did, then you can experience what you want at a cheap price.

By Lpjun |

There weren't that many people, so I got to experience the thrill of skiing. I've never skied since I was a child! The worst thing was the tour guide's constant sales pitch on the bus. As long as you don't get fooled, you'll be fine. The food wasn't good either, and it felt like a trip back to the pre-liberation era. It was a bit bittersweet, but everything else was good.

I left a selfie stick at Yabuli Ski Resort. This was the last time I aimed and took a photo. I lost it and can't find it anymore.

By Autumn Dust |

The overall facilities are very complete, with accommodation and food. At the same time, the flow of people is also very large, so it is better to book in advance during the peak season.



Without the proper equipment, you couldn't enter, and the 100 yuan fee was only for two hours, starting from the moment you received your ticket. Luckily, I hadn't planned on skiing in the first place, I was just there to take photos. I didn't rent anything, so the instructors at the ski resort didn't treat me with extra care. Haha...

The advantage of renting ski clothes is that you can play in the snow without restraint

Hard "tofu blocks", think about how soft water is, and how hard it is after freezing. It is understandable to use water to describe women, and it also understands the saying "the heart of a woman is the most poisonous". The important thing is that as long as you don't let her heart freeze, she will be soft!

The snow cannon in one corner of the ski resort is incredible. Even if it's not snowing, I think you can still ski in Yabuli! It's so cool to wear ski gear! And then there's the endless wrestling...

Besides falling down, I can only say that I am a coward! From the moment I saw them put on their ski boots and stepped on their skis,

From that moment on, I never stopped laughing, and they never stopped shouting...

Harbin Yabuli Ski Resort is located in Shangzhi City, Harbin, in eastern Heilongjiang Province, 193 kilometers from Harbin. Group self-driving tours are permitted. Be sure to negotiate the price in advance and avoid hidden fees when buying with a group. There are too many shady practices, too many scams, and too many people get ripped off. And I must emphasize: if a conflict arises, the guide will still ask for your ID card. Don't worry, just record a quick video, take photos, and record the audio. Unscrupulous tour guides will threaten you if you don't cooperate and lose money. You can also do the opposite.

The extreme low temperature here is -44℃, and the average temperature is -10℃. The best skiing season is from mid-November to late March. Yabuli Ski Resort Grade: SSSSS.

Be sure to take the right measures to stay warm. Wear as much as you can, not just too much. Don't prioritize style over warmth. Wear wool insoles and wool socks inside those greasy snow boots. Wear gloves with earplugs, warm underwear, and a down jacket or ski suit.

Yabuli is a famous ski resort. However, I must say that when signing up for a tour group, you really need to check if they're legitimate or not. Otherwise, the tour guides here are incredibly ruthless and aggressive. The female ones are even worse than the male ones. Regardless of whether you're from outside the area or not, if you board a thief's car, despite the promised group discounts, you'll be saddled with all sorts of extra fees and charges. We refused to pay at the time, not to mention the female tour guide's unpleasant appearance. She was full of foul language and threatened to have the driver throw us off. Everyone else in the car was terrified and told us to pay. But we didn't pay, and nothing happened. This is true of bundled sales, but nowadays, everything is about selling services, and violence shouldn't be used to counter violence.

The storage boxes inside are also 30 each. You have to queue up to receive your appropriate shoe and gear size. To exchange, you have to queue up again and pay a timed fee. Whether you want a trainer depends on your personal needs, and the price is negotiable. This is an insider tip, and they're generally not professional technicians. They're part-time workers learning on the job during the winter break. Professionals charge double the price.

You can experience skiing. For people like me who can't ski but still want a bigger ski resort, this is a very good choice. The only problem is that it is far away and there are many people going there in winter, so you may not have enough time to play.

By China-TravelNote users |

It's really exciting to watch others slide down the professional track

By Curry is not spicy |

A highly recommended professional ski resort, which can be reached by train from Harbin. The average skiing cost per person is about 200 yuan, but you will feel that it is absolutely worth the ticket price. The cable car, the scenery, the speed and passion, you will feel how happy life is when you are speeding on the white snow track. This is the most worthwhile ski resort to visit in China in winter. It is definitely not worse than the ski resorts in Switzerland.

By hiulamYu |

The scenery along the way was very beautiful, but it was a pity to be disappointed when we got to Yabuli. There were too many people.

It's not as fun as Xiling Snow Mountain in Sichuan. It costs 240 to hire a coach and many of them are temporary winter vacation workers. My ski coach is a freshman boy born in 1995, one year older than me. He also asks for tips and 50 is not enough!

By huangzeyan |

The coach will take you to the top of the slope, first explain to you the techniques and precautions of skiing, and then help you slide while explaining. Go back and forth several times, and slowly the coach will let go and watch you slide.

By Hanhan |

It is said to be the world's longest slide, 2680 meters, 260 yuan per person. We were impressed by the world's longest slide and decided to go for it. In fact, it was very boring and not exciting at all. It felt so long that we couldn't wait for it to end.

By Caribbean Elves |

It costs 380 yuan to rent ski equipment for a day, which is really expensive.

Under the guidance of the coach, we can take the cable car to the mountainside and slide down. Although it is a bit steep, it is really exciting.

By Shan Ge |

Seriously, don’t slide down at the equipment changing area. First-timers will definitely be scared!

Be sure to remember to walk down a little and play on the conveyor belt, which is the most suitable height. It is completely OK and safe to satisfy your addiction.
