The resorts, honestly rated

Six regions, very different trips. Chongli is man-made groomers an hour from Beijing. Altay has China's real powder. The Northeast sits between: natural snow, big verticals, Siberian cold. The rest — Urumqi, Beijing's day-hills, Chengdu's Xiling — earn their place for specific itineraries, and we say exactly which.
