[2025 Zhangjiakou Stay] Travel Guide for Zhangjiakou Chongli Fulong Resort Hotel (Updated May)

🏂 Just came back from a tumble in Chongli, and here's my tearful summary of how to avoid the pitfalls. These are the truths I wish I knew during my magical three-day transformation from a skiing newbie to a wild pro. If I don't tell you now, you'll cry even harder! ❄️ Ski Resort Hot List: Local Coaches Spill the Beans A survival guide to the three major ski resorts based on personal experience, saving you up to CNY 2,000. ▫️ Thaiwoo Ski Resort Day and Night ✅ During the day, head straight to Cable Car No. 9 (fewer people, beautiful scenery). In the evening, squat on the top of Jade Stone Ridge to photograph the windmill sunset 🌅. ✅ Go to the Snow Beach area for glowing snow tubes during the night session. Bring your own hand warmer to stick to your phone (the battery will die in seconds at -20%). ❌ Don't rent a locker in the lobby! There's a free storage wall behind the ski hall. It's better to bring your own padlock. ▫️ Fulong Ski Resort Hidden Spots ✅ Beginner and intermediate skiers should stick to the B5 magic carpet area. The slope is friendly, and you can get free lessons. ✅ Grab a window seat at the Starbucks on the mountaintop. It's recommended to go early and bring a thermos to wait. ❌ Be careful when buying all-day tickets! After 3 PM, the slopes are like a vegetable market. It's better to buy a night session + hot spring package. ▫️ Vanke Longshan Ski Resort's Pay-to-Win Philosophy ✅ Bring your own board and take the No. 2 high-speed cable car to avoid tour groups and maybe even run into the national team training. ✅ Order a "mystery drink" at the mountaintop cafe: fresh milk + espresso + whiskey, a full warmth buff. ❌ Don't rent protective gear in the ski equipment hall! It's CNY 50/set at the villagers' homes at the foot of the mountain, and you can even bargain for a free butt pad. 🧤 Equipment: Counterintuitive Tips A life-saving checklist in exchange for blood and tears. ▪️ Wear quick-drying clothes instead of a turtleneck sweater! Sweat will freeze on the cable car and chill you to the bone. ▪️ Choose a face guard with a breathing valve! Ordinary ones will frost over and turn into an ice mask in ten minutes. ▪️ Buy gloves that work with touch screens! When you take off your gloves to scan a code to pay, your fingers will freeze to the point where you want to amputate them. ▪️ Stick a hand warmer on the back of your phone! Sticking it on the front will cause accidental touches. Don't ask how I know 😭. 🎒 Recommended Magical Gadgets ✔️ Massage gun: Save your hips from falling apart. It costs CNY 20 to borrow one at a homestay, which is a huge loss. ✔️ Folding foot bath bucket: The joy of soaking your feet at -25 degrees is something that even VIPs at the ski resort can't trade for. ✔️ Sports camera chest strap: 100 times more stable than holding it in your hand. Your vlog won't be laughed at for looking like it was filmed by someone with Parkinson's. 🍜 Food Guide: Avoiding Rip-offs The best thing I've ever eaten in Chongli is actually... ▫️ Hidden Menu at the Ski Resort Cafeteria ▪️ Thaiwoo Ski Resort: Alaskan cod burger (only sold in the C area food truck, amazing with chili sauce) ▪️ Fulong Ski Resort: Beef pot sticker (add five spoons of chili oil to the soup, and the northeastern auntie will give you a thumbs up) ▪️ Vanke Longshan Ski Resort: Mutton and sauerkraut casserole (tear up the baked pancake and soak it in the soup, and you'll be fully revived on the spot) ▫️ Hidden Gems in the County ▪️ Erdaogou Crepe: A Mongolian version with shredded potatoes that is three times more substantial than the Beijing version when rolled with crispy crackers. ▪️ Dawei Roasted Whole Lamb: Make a reservation 4 hours in advance! The skin is so crispy that you can knock out "Ode to Joy." ▪️ Oat Noodles: Go to "Lao Baiban" and order mutton and mushroom gravy. Mix it in and you'll be instantly mesmerized by the aroma. 🚗 Transportation: A Brutal Scene A complete realization after being ripped off for CNY 388 by a black cab. ▪️ At the high-speed train station, look for the "Chongli Special Line" bus, which goes directly to the major ski resorts for CNY 10 (the last bus has a hidden surprise: free hand warmers). ▪️ Drivers must install anti-skid chains! It will suddenly snow on the Cuiyun Mountain 18 Bends, and two-wheel drive cars will dance ballet on the spot. ▪️ The "Dida" ride-hailing app is 30% cheaper than "Didi." Remember to check "Willing to wait 30 minutes." 📸 Lesser-Known Photo Spots: Pretend You're in the Alps Advanced ways to trick people into liking your photos on WeChat Moments. ▫️ Thaiwoo Paloni Card: Take Cable Car No. 9 to the middle station, walk 200 meters in reverse in your snowshoes, and take apocalyptic-style blockbusters in the abandoned wooden house. ▫️ Fulong Rainbow Road: Take a photo of the S-curve against the light at 4 PM, and you'll become the focus of the snow track with a red helmet. ▫️ Cuiyun Mountain Rime Forest: Catch the 8 AM shuttle bus early in the morning and use a telephoto lens to photograph the cable car shuttling through the sea of clouds.

📌Hotel Location This hotel is said to have been downgraded from an InterContinental Hotel to a Holiday Inn. The guide signs in the parking lot still remind you that this was once an InterContinental Hotel, haha. The hotel is located at No. 3 Wanlong Road, Chongli District, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, adjacent to Fulong Ski Resort. You can walk directly to the ski equipment hall, which is very convenient. The hotel is also very close to Chongli Railway Station, and you can easily reach it by taxi or bus. There is also a Four Seasons Town nearby, and it is also very close to the county seat, offering a variety of dining options. Fulong Ski Resort⛷️ Fulong Ski Resort has a total of 37 ski trails, including 7 beginner trails, 11 intermediate trails, and 14 advanced trails, with a ratio of 3:4:3. The night skiing at the ski resort is particularly popular, and there is a special free night skiing event for women every Tuesday. The night skiing is open from 17:30 to 21:30, and only the L2 cable car is open. In addition to the magic carpet beginner trail, a maximum of 4 ski trails are open. 🛏️Hotel Rooms This time, I stayed in a Superior King Room redeemed with points. Points rooms are quite suitable during peak season. The bed size is 2 meters, and there is a large bathtub in the bathroom, perfect for a nice bath after skiing. The bedding is also quite comfortable, and IHG Platinum members can get double breakfast and a routine fruit plate. 🥗Breakfast The hotel offers a wide variety of breakfast options, including tofu pudding and thumb buns, and they taste pretty good. Breakfast is served in the Valley All Day Dining Restaurant on the B1 floor, and you can also order room service when you are hungry. Overall, Holiday Inn Resort Zhangjiakou Chongli is a great choice for ski enthusiasts and family vacations. The hotel is super convenient because it is located in the county seat. In addition, if you are skiing at Fulong, only this hotel can order takeout. If you are staying at the Hyatt, you have to walk a long way to pick it up yourself. With IHG membership, you can have a late check-out, which is quite suitable for those who want to have noodles in the morning and ski in the afternoon, and then come back to change clothes, take a shower, and check out without rushing.
