Of the 4 "day ski resorts around Shenyang, this is the better one. For beginners and lower end intermediate skiers, this place can offer a little bit of a challenge, if you are beyond that level, it is a reasonable place to practice your techniques and try new tricks. The hill has good separate tracks for each level and gradually builds up for the beginner getting more comfortable. The bigger slope has a steep section, which is not very long but you can pick up a bit of speed, required for the long run out to the chair lift. At times they do set out a kind of GS course which can be fun as well as a more tightly set slalom course for practicing turning techniques. The snow is 90% man made, but given the temperature it does escape being heavy going. Mid winter, wrap up very warm, whilst going down it is ok, the chairlift is slow though and the cold does get to you on the way up. As a ski adventure, not what you want, but sure beats sitting at home!

They only speak mandarin, and very small and make-shift. Equipment was not fantastic, and they needed you to pay for a helmet if you want to go higher. (ironically, it is at the bottom which there are crazy people trying funny tricks- going down without learning to break.) Guests run into fences very frequently, unlike in japan or korea where people usually pay for lessons before going on the slope, but in china many just go and try their luck. I feel it is boring if you can ski or board already, and it is dangerous for newbies as it as a major accident prone location (then again it is in most ski locations in china too)
