Beijing Ski Express is now running! Reach the ski resorts in just 2 hours on weekends

No more lugging your skis onto crowded high-speed trains—it's so much better! Good news for friends in Beijing! The "Ski Express" direct service to major Chongli ski resorts officially started operating this snow season. As a ski enthusiast who experienced it right away, I have to say, this is the ultimate blessing for weekend warriors! No more carrying heavy ski bags through high-speed train stations. Departing from downtown Beijing, it’s a one-stop direct ride to the ski resorts, truly making “easy skiing, happy weekends” a reality! 🚌 My super convenient travel plan · Outbound: I chose to board at Beijing Daxing Airport. The express bus runs one daily trip to Chongli from here. The boarding point is easy to find, with clear signs right outside. A big shoutout to the bus’s huge storage space—my twin skis and my friend’s extra-long snowboard fit easily, no more worries about gear damage or cramped space on the bus. · Ski resort shuttle: The express bus has two main routes: the urban direction (covering Wanlong, Anaya Chongli, Fulong, Cuiyunshan ski resorts) and the core area direction (covering Yunding, Taiwu, Xueruyi ski resorts). I went to Taiwu Ski Resort this time, which is on the core area route—getting off right at the resort, seamless connection! · Return: The return trip is just as convenient. At designated pick-up points at the ski resorts, you can board the corresponding express bus back to Beijing’s transport hubs. The whole trip is clearly planned, truly hassle-free and effortless. 💵 My weekend ski budget (2 days 1 night, per person reference) The following budget is in RMB: · Transportation: Round-trip Ski Express ticket estimated at about 200-300 yuan (subject to official real-time prices). This might be even more cost-effective than high-speed train plus taxi/shuttle combinations, and it saves so much hassle. · Accommodation: Booked a hotel in Taiwu Town, one night costs about 500-800 yuan (varies by room type and date). · Skiing: One-day ski pass (including gear) costs about 400-600 yuan. · Food & Drink: Plenty of dining options in the town, budget about 300 yuan for two days of meals and snacks. · Total: The total cost per person for two days and one night is roughly between 1400-2000 yuan, allowing you to enjoy a high-quality ski weekend. ⛷️ My skiing moments I have to say, with the express bus, the whole skiing experience is upgraded! It saves a lot of energy and effort, letting me focus more on enjoying skiing. On Taiwu’s slopes, gliding freely under the sun and fresh powder, I felt all the work stress of the week melt away. The weekend is short, but the joy can last forever! 💎 My exclusive tips 1. Book in advance: The Ski Express uses a one-stop booking service. It’s recommended to reserve your travel date and trip through official channels ahead of time to secure your seat. 2. Trip frequency: The express bus runs two daily round trips at Capital Airport, and one daily round trip at Daxing Airport and Beijing South Station. More trips may be added based on passenger flow, so check the latest schedule when planning your trip. 3. Multi-resort skiing: There are shuttle buses between Chongli ski resorts. If you have enough time, consider buying a pass to enjoy different resorts. 4. Gear preparation: Ski passes usually don’t include ski suits, helmets, goggles, and other protective gear, so rent or bring these in advance. This snow season, don’t let transportation block your skiing plans. Hop on this convenient express bus and fully enjoy the ice and snow fun in Chongli! Have you planned your ski trip yet?
