Cloud grassland skiing season

Some people say that diving is blue opium, skiing is white opium
I'm addicted again.

As winter approaches, skiers who have been dormant for a long time flock out and start planning their own skiing trips. With the successful bid of Zhangjiakou, Beijing to host the Winter Olympics, I found that people around me who used to not exercise much in winter have also started to play skiing. After skiing in Nagano, Japan at the end of last year, I became addicted to snowboarding.

After skiing in Japan and returning, I have been thinking about improving my snowboarding skills, so I have been searching for any ski resorts around Shanghai. After searching around, I found that they are all indoor ski resorts. It's really difficult to find an outdoor ski resort in a place like the Baoyou area where it never snows for ten thousand years. I really wanted to find an outdoor ski resort, and as I searched, I saw a cloud covered grassland and starry sky ski resort in Anji, Zhejiang. Although it was artificially made snow, it was soft and powdery, and I made a quick decision to start sliding.

Starry Sky Ski Resort

Entering the cloud grassland in winter is like entering the kingdom of snow. The white birch forest that was only seen in movies can now be seen in Anji's cloud grassland. In winter, the cloud grassland is covered with silver flowers, and the Starry Ski Resort is hidden within it.

The Starry Sky Ski Resort is located on a high mountain with an altitude of over 1000 meters, so you need to take a cable car. Sitting on the cable car, you can enjoy the layers of rime next to you. I didn't expect to see such a scene in Jiangnan, which is really new for southerners who have not seen snow this year.

The wooden rocking chair, paired with the white frost and snow, creates a scene that resembles a dream restored to reality. Walking down the wooden plank road is the destination of this trip, the Starry Sky Ski Resort.

The Starry Sky Ski Resort on the Cloud Grassland is located in Shanchuan Township, Anji, Zhejiang Province. It is only a 45 minute drive from Hangzhou and can be reached in 2.5-3 hours from southern Jiangsu and Shanghai. It is the most accessible ski resort in the south. With the opening of the Anji high-speed railway, skiing can be done directly by high-speed rail in the future, which saves time and is more convenient.
To ski, you need to first come to the ski equipment hall, where there are various rental services and dining entertainment.

The first thing that catches the eye is the Ski Six, after all, many people who come skiing are beginners and amateur enthusiasts. It is still necessary to understand the process clearly before entering.

In the snow gear hall, all kinds of equipment are readily available. The Cloud Grassland Starry Sky Ski Resort is equipped with top domestic ski equipment, introducing top Slovenian ski brand Elan skis and well-known German brand Alpine snowshoes. For skiers from the south, there are over 60 professional skiing coaches from the north who teach you skiing hand in hand, meeting our high-quality skiing needs.

The snow equipment hall is very spacious and equipped with a constant temperature setting, making it very warm as soon as you enter.

Skiing requires a wide range of equipment, including snow goggles, helmets, snow suits, snowboards, gloves, etc. Each different type of equipment is rented out and categorized very clearly, allowing skiers to quickly receive the equipment.

There is a dedicated storage area in the lobby, and the boxes inside are large enough to hold your various coats, bags, and shoes.

A return channel has been set up at the collection area for snowshoes and snowboards to prevent snowgear from hitting people due to excessive foot traffic.

Skiing equipment is also a uniform international standard, with both snowshoes and snowboards being very brand new. When skiing in Japan before, I had seen a similar scene where rows of snowshoes were neatly arranged together. I didn't expect Anji's Starry Sky Ski Resort to also have international standards.

Snow shoes and snowboards are the ELAN brand, and Elan has always been a symbol of top products that can bring endless fun to skiers. The snowboards used by N world champions are all provided by Elan. Elan is a Slovenian brand with predominantly green boards and very cool patterns. The biggest feature among them is waveflex technology, which is a technique that uses a wave shape to cushion vibration, and this shape can enhance the bending support force of the board, fully demonstrating the principles of physics.

These are single boards, also from the Elan brand. Single board snowshoes and double board snowshoes are slightly different, and you can rent them here according to your needs.

It can be seen that there are still a large number of ski equipment in the ski resort, which can meet the needs of many people skiing at the same time.

On the third floor of the ski resort hall, there is a dining area where many people come to ski in the morning and enjoy Chinese cuisine directly. The environment here is good, very spacious, and you can also see the snow outside, which can be said to be eating while watching the snow.

After renting the equipment, you will officially enter the outdoor ski resort. At the entrance, you can see the sign of Yunshang Grassland, which is located above an altitude of 1168 meters and has an average annual snowfall of 80 centimeters. It is a rare winter high-altitude ice and snow tourism resort in the south.

Of course, relying solely on natural snowfall is not enough. The Starry Ski Resort has introduced first-class skiing facilities and equipment from abroad. The Pistenbully snow press from Germany and the Sufag snow maker, the only recognized snow maker partner of the FIS International Snow Federation, are reliable international brands that high-end northern ski resorts such as Nanshan Ski Resort and Wanlong Ski Resort have always insisted on using. The all-weather snow making technology has created a truly deserving pink snow paradise.

The Starry Sky Ski Resort currently has three intermediate and beginner level skis and a amusement park. Among them, three skis are 800 meters long, with 410 meters for beginner level skis and 390 meters for beginner level skis. The drop of the skis can reach 45 meters, and they can accommodate 5000 people skiing and playing at the same time.

In fact, what I value most about skiing is the quality of the snow, because skiing inevitably involves various falls. If the snow is hard, falling will be very painful. If it is pink snow, it is like falling on soft cotton, and this different feeling greatly affects the mood of skiing. The snow at Starry Sky Ski Resort is a unique Hokkaido pink snow, which is the kind of small, soft, and dry snowflake with little moisture like flour. When stepping on it, it is very soft and fluffy, and skiing on it has a clear sense of lightness. Even if you fall, you won't feel too much pain. You don't have to go abroad to enjoy the top skiing experience abroad.

Before skiing, it is important to put on your own board carefully, as in Japan I skate on a single board. Therefore, when it comes to the Yunshang Grassland, I still choose to skate on a single board, as the pleasure of snowboarding is completely different from that of double boards.

Once you have fastened your equipment, you are about to set off. As it is the largest natural high-altitude skiing resort in East China, there is no awkward situation of dumpling style skiing. Skiing is particularly comfortable, and because it is made of powdery snow, it is very light when sliding, so accidentally falling won't hurt.

When I was skiing in Japan, I only skated through the beginner's track and came to the Yunshang Grassland. I wanted to try the intermediate track, so I set off with my little turtle. If there are beginners like me who want to try the intermediate level of skateboarding, it is recommended to wear a little turtle for better results.

If you are a novice who doesn't know how to ski at all, don't worry. There are over 60 professional skiing coaches from the north at the ski resort, who can teach you how to ski. It can be said to be a skiing paradise for beginners.

Most people choose snowboarding because it is easier to get started. Therefore, if you want to quickly learn skiing and have a real skiing speed and passion, you can also choose snowboarding.

In the ski resort, there is also an energy supply station where you can buy some dry food to replenish your energy when you are tired from skiing.

On the snow field, you can wear both the clothes of the snow field and your own clothes, as long as they are down and warm. There are no mandatory requirements for anything else. If you hire a coach, you can provide one-on-one guidance, which can help you make progress faster.

I also saw many children skiing on the ski resort, and now it's really the rhythm of skiing for all. At the beginning of learning skiing, you can also start from a flat bottom.

The coach is quite handsome when it comes to skating. He can easily get off the snowball and start skating, just like ice skating. The coach will also carefully guide the students to ensure they can get started.

Skiing on snowboards is relatively rare in ski resorts, making it particularly eye-catching.

The reason for choosing snowboarding is simple, it looks cool to slide, so even though I know that double boarding is easy, I still resolutely chose snowboarding. Moreover, there are many different styles of snowboarding, and after advancing to the next level, I can play various styles.

The intermediate track has a track set up. Bring your own equipment and stand directly on the track, which will take you to the highest point, so you don't have to work hard to move it up.

After more than two hours of skiing, you can also see many tourists skiing here. Whether you are a beginner or a professional, you can find your own fun at the Starry Sky Ski Resort.

Skiing Pass, 380 yuan for non weekends, 228 yuan for bringing snow equipment (all day), 580 yuan for weekends, 348 yuan for bringing snow equipment (5 hours), including scenic spot tickets, up and down cableway tickets, and a deposit of 500 yuan/person

Anji Cloud Grassland

The Cloud Grassland is the main ski resort in winter, but it has fun activities all year round. Here, there is a Cloud Tribe with rich entertainment options, which is very popular for parent-child trips during summer vacation.
High mountain amusement and close contact with the mountains, forests, and sea of clouds can challenge thrilling outdoor projects, as well as stroll through the cloud study, enjoying the scenery of the sea of clouds and embarking on a magical journey in the sky.

The Cliff Paradise in the Cloud Grassland is a playground that leaps over the clouds and shakes East China. The unpowered grass skating park breaks the traditional layout of children's play, explores the mysteries of unpowered and gravitational acceleration, and unleashes nature like a child.

There are also a variety of extreme exploration activities such as mountaineering, hiking, river tracing, downhill, jungle adventure camps, bamboo trampolines, and forest slides, making it a great destination for mountain outdoor enthusiasts.

Those who like real CS can also team up and eat chicken together on the cloud grassland in summer.

Hantian Resort

A perfect skiing vacation, of course, requires a comfortable accommodation environment. In the deep bamboo forest of Anji, there is a resort with hot springs, Hantian Resort, which covers nearly 2000 acres of tea gardens and bamboo sea. It integrates the Confucian philosophy of seclusion into the construction concept, and the building is hidden between the tea mountains and the bamboo sea.

I stayed in the tatami room of Hantian Resort, which was very cozy. The room was very large and the lighting was also very comfortable.

The hotel has prepared a lot of Dim sum and fruits, as well as Anji white tea, which adds food comfort to the holiday.

There are other standard rooms with double beds, as well as a small sofa and a french window facing the outdoor bamboo forest, to create a living experience of opening the door to see the tea mountain and pushing the window to see the bamboo sea. Standing on the railing, you can see thousands of mountains and mountains, which explains the symbiosis between human and nature.

The bathroom in the room is also very spacious, semi open and spacious.

Soaking in the bathtub and looking out the window at the ten thousand acre tea field, it must also be very pleasant.

The first floor is the coffee lounge area, which is very pleasant and suitable for receiving guests.

There is also a public swimming pool outdoors, where you can come and swim during your summer break.

Arriving at the reception building of the main building, there are both small classrooms that allow people to calm down and practice calligraphy, as well as a simple gym, making the vacation life rich and colorful.

The combination of classical elements and modernity in hotel architecture brings an innovative sense of modernity. Simple and atmospheric, with a grand layout.

In the lobby of the hotel, there are various Anji specialty teas sold, among which small pot tea is the most famous.

The lounge in the lobby is very beautiful, decorated with various bamboo decorations that connect people with nature.

The outdoor water pavilion is the restaurant of the hotel. In the evening, the water pavilion lights up and reflects in the water, like a dream.

Bamboo Sea Hot Springs

The most surprising thing about Hantian Resort is the Hantian Bamboo Rhyme Hot Spring. This hot spring, hidden deep in the bamboo sea, injects the spiritual energy of nature into the hot spring, truly achieving the goal of soaking in hot springs under the environmental protection of nature. Because they are all outdoor hot springs, you need to wear a swimsuit. If you don't bring a swimsuit, you can purchase it on the first floor.

Zhuyun Hot Spring is located deep in the bamboo sea to the north of Longyin Tower. It is composed of reception center, 7 bathing pool, 2 SPA massage rooms, and 1 flagstone physiotherapy room. We provide hot spring soup service, children's play pool service, traditional Chinese medicine health soup service, hot stone therapy service, and health massage service. Zhuyun Hot Spring is only open to hotel guests.

Each bubble pool has a different shape and has different therapeutic effects, including bubble ball pools, heart shaped pools, and red wine pools.

Hidden deep in the bamboo forest, although it is open, it also feels surrounded by the bamboo forest, which is very private.

Along the way, there are various misty hot springs, making it feel like entering a fairy forest.

You can lie down and rest in the slate therapy room, which is like a sweat steaming room, very comfortable.

Hantianke Cuisine

Shuixieju is the restaurant of Hantian Resort Hotel. It is mainly engaged in Huaiyang cuisine and farm flavor. It is built near the water. There are several water friendly compartments, mainly Huaiyang Cuisine cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and local cuisine. Breakfast, afternoon tea and lunch and dinner can be enjoyed here.

The main dishes include Tianmu Lake clay pot fish head, specialty tea flavored bamboo forest chicken, tea flavored pig's hand, fruit and wood photo barbecue steak, flavored yam and wild boar tripe, Cantonese style stir fry, river seafood and other green delicacies, which are very healthy and healthy.

I ordered a total of 12 dishes this time, including seaweed, mushroom, braised thousand slices, drunk green crab, tea flavored phoenix tail shrimp, and Guoba Lake mixed fish.

This tea flavored pig's hand is plump, tender, and tender. It melts right into the mouth, making it extremely delicious.

I didn't expect to be able to eat drunk crabs during this season, I'm really satisfied.

Fengwei shrimp is very bouncy and chewy.

I prefer this Guoba fish over fish.

The breakfast at Shuixie Residence is also particularly sumptuous, with a variety of Chinese and Western dishes available, catering to the needs of people with different tastes.
