Erlongshan Ski Resort, also known as Longzhu Erlongshan Ski Resort, is nestled within the nationally certified "AAAA" Erlong Scenic Reserve in Binxian County, approximately 65 kilometers from Harbin City. The resort is set against the scenic backdrop of Erlong Lake, surrounded by dense pine forests and rolling hills, with Wanglong Mountain (266 meters above sea level) as its highest point.
Erlongshan Ski Resort holds the distinction of being one of China's first SSS-rated ski resorts in Heilongjiang Province and serves as the country's outdoor extreme sports training base, offering four-season sport and recreational facilities for the adventurous. The resort spans 1.03 million square meters and features a ski season that typically runs from mid-November through early April, providing approximately 120 days of skiing with an average snow depth of 0.5 to 1 meter. The high-quality snow pack, combined with safe-skiing courses, well-maintained facilities, and moderate admission fees, makes this paradise accessible to all skiing enthusiasts. Notably, the resort's slopes meet FIS (International Ski Federation) standards and have hosted international freestyle skiing competitions.
Over the years, it has accommodated as many as two million domestic and international sports lovers. The resort features eight ski trails for various skill levels—including two large beginner areas, one dedicated children's snow playground, eight intermediate and advanced pistes, and a specialized snowboarding park with a U-shaped half-pipe and a freestyle aerials competition venue. The trails span a total length of over 2,000 meters, with an effective skiing area of 20,000 square meters. Two rental centers offer 4,000 sets of imported ski equipment and 2,000 ski suits. For a change of pace, there is also a special VIP area, a vast skating park, and trails for sleighs and snowmobiles. Four drag lifts and one high-altitude cable car carry skiers directly from the hotel to their destinations.
The Longzhu Erlongshan Ski Resort has solid experience in hosting large-scale conferences and exhibitions. Since it was put into operation in 1999, it has successfully hosted a string of events, including the premiere of the Heilongjiang International Ski Festival for 10 consecutive years, the Golden Autumn Festival, international tourism forums, and conferences for the CPPCC and various NGOs. Sporting events, such as international off-road races and ecological cycling tours, have also been successfully managed. In 2003, it served as the venue for the FIS Freestyle competition.
The ski resort covers an area of 1.03 million square meters. In addition to a full range of ski equipment, it has three hotels—including the three-star Longzhu Guesthouse—and four restaurants, which can accommodate 2,000 people for dining and 1,100 people for lodging. There are more than 30 outdoor entertainment projects, including snowmobiling, snow buggies, ice slides, horse-drawn sleighs, sightseeing ropeways, artificial rock climbing, luxury yachts, speedboats, tennis courts, a nightclub, and a bath center. The resort also boasts Northeast China's largest grass-skiing field and pasture.
