Jiangnan Heavenly Pool Skiing Center's is only one outdoor Skiing Park among South of the Yangtze River. It is more than 60,000 square meters area and the length is more than 700 meters. There are many skiing activities for skiers, such as playing golf, taking a Skiing Ring and Skiing Ball etc. It opens from Jan. to Feb. each year. The entrance fee is RMB150 per person per hour. | If you would like to take the ski tour there, you may arrive Shanghai in advance. Then, take a coach around 4 hours to reach Jiangnan Heavenly Pool Skiing Center for your ski tour. I would advise you combining other city tour together, like Hangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai city etc. For Chinese visa, you have to gain it before your arrival in China. Hope you will enjoy your ski tour.

Else going to the resorts near Harbin in north China are probably the most famous.
