Answer information department of the "Thinness of Tourism"
Fans of mountain skis and snowboards in recent years are increasingly turning their attention to the resorts of China. The season starts on them in November-December and lasts until March-April. At this time, you can go for a drive on the snow-covered slopes (thanks to the climate, at many resorts the snow cover in its characteristics is similar to the Alpine one) and enjoy the eastern exoticism in full. Especially good it will be felt in the resort of Hubei near Beijing: some of the local trails are laid along the Great Wall of China.
