The Nanshan ski resort (Beijing Nanshan), located just 62 km from Beijing, is not only a great place for a full week or more skiing, but also an excellent opportunity to escape from the abundance of the attractions of the Chinese capital for a day. Opened in 2006, Jingcheng Expressway allows you to get here by taxi in as little as 35 minutes. Half an hour on the road - a day on a quality slope with skis or board, another 30-minute journey home, and in the morning, with a fresh head and aching muscles, forward to conquer the next Beijing museum or temple.

How to get here
Getting from Beijing to Nanshan today is a trifling matter. You can take bus number 980 from Dongzhimen bus station (departing every 5 minutes) to the West Bridge stop in Miyun, on the way for about 50 minutes. Then change by taxi to the resort, cost about 20 RMB. Option is easier - to book a taxi directly from the hotel walls, but the cost is better to clarify at the reception desk. Perhaps, it will be cheaper to rent a car with a driver (since Russian rights in the territory of the PRC are not valid).
Another convenient option is the resort shuttle bus, which starts every day at 8:30 am from the Sanyuan Bridge and the Wudaokou metro station. The return fare is around 40 RMB. It is better to book the places in advance by calling 010-89091909 (ask the hotel staff about it).
