Yabuli Ski Resort & Snow Country
亚布力滑雪旅游度假区 · Heilongjiang, Harbin
China's premier ski and deep-snow destination in the forested Changbai foothills of Heilongjiang.
Yabuli is China's best-known winter-sports resort, set in forested mountains southeast of Harbin with reliable deep snow, long downhill runs, ski lifts and snow-park facilities for all levels, plus summer mountain-scenery and alpine-coaster activities. Nearby 'China Snow Country' (Xue Xiang) is a village famous for its deep powder snow and lantern-lit log cabins.
Developed for alpine skiing from the 1980s and a host venue for the 1996 Asian Winter Games, Yabuli became the training ground for China's ski athletes and expanded into a four-season resort. The surrounding Xuexiang area, buried in deep lake-effect snow each winter, became a celebrated snowy-village tourist destination in the 2010s.
