Beijing might be known for its rich history, bustling hutongs, and mouthwatering food, but come winter, this city also transforms into a snowy playground. With the 2022 Winter Olympics putting Beijing’s slopes on the global map, skiing has never been more exciting or accessible here. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned skier, these ski resorts offer incredible snow, beautiful views, and surprisingly easy access from the city.
