Northern Snow Country Town | My friends thought I went to Switzerland to see the snow

|My friends thought I went to Switzerland to see the snow. After waiting for a year, it finally came The happiest time of winter No need to fly thousands of miles, 1 hour from Beijing A fairytale snow town that can be reached My friends thought I was going abroad on vacation again! It's better to stay in a small town like this in winter Slow down the pace and relax Enjoy the romantic and cozy winter time ✈️ transportation You can take the high-speed train from Beijing North Station or Qinghe Station and arrive in Chongli in 1 hour. If you drive, it will take about 3 hours. If you are coming from other cities, you can fly to Zhangjiakou Airport and then take a taxi. There are not many direct flights at present. > Day 1 We stayed in Chongli for four days and three nights and visited two ski resorts. On the first day, we stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott Chongli. It takes less than 10 minutes to get there by taxi from Chongli Station. You can also make an appointment for the hotel shuttle bus in advance. > The hotel lobby bar faces the Shixuechuan ski resort. The ski slopes are flat and there are few people. It is suitable for beginners. It is very convenient to slide in and out directly after changing ski equipment in the room. > Remember to book a snow view room. You can overlook the entire ski resort and the snow mountain from the bed. The hotel package includes a double ski ticket and a hot spring ticket. The front desk can help you with the process. You can rent ski equipment at the ski shop next to the lobby. It is very smooth to ski here. > The decoration of Courtyard is very new. You can have a cup of coffee in the lobby bar when you are free, enjoy the snow in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and feel the warm winter sun. Wanhuixuan Restaurant provides Chinese food and small hot pot. Dining while enjoying the snow is a winter-only option. > Day 2-3 I went skiing in Taiwu Town for the next two days, so I stayed at the Chongli Yuansu Hotel. On the way back, I could take the high-speed rail at Taizicheng Station, which is only a 5-minute drive from the hotel. The hotel will also arrange a shuttle bus to the station. > Taiwu Town is relatively larger, with a richer ratio of ski trails to meet the needs of all skiers. It has all the beginner, intermediate and advanced ski trails. The Alpine hut on the top of the mountain has a Christmas atmosphere, and overlooking the colorful town under the snow-capped mountains, it feels like you have come to Switzerland. > The terrace of the Yuansu Mountain View Room we stayed in this time faces the ski resort. The twilight blues are beautiful. The room is warm and comfortable. The apartment-style kitchenware allows you to cook your own meals, so we also cooked red wine. It was very cozy. > The hotel also prepared afternoon tea. It is so comfortable to drink a pot of warm tea after skiing. The Yuanshan restaurant on the first floor of the hotel mainly promotes authentic Hunan cuisine. If you catch up with the weekend, you can also try the hotel's small hot pot buffet. > Finally, it is worth mentioning that Yuansu is a pet-friendly hotel, and it will provide dogs with small nests, drinking water bowls, etc., which is really a plus for pet owners! > In addition to skiing, Chongli is also a small city with hot springs in winter. The transportation is convenient and you can go anywhere at any time. It is very suitable for a family vacation on weekends to feel the relaxation brought by the snow season in the small city. 365 Days of Dog Walking Bureau No. 205 See you next time
