Silk Road Mountain Resort 丝绸之路山地度假区

About Silk Road Mountain Resort

The resort sits in the Tianshan mountains. The regional department's ski-area register, which rates it SSSSS, records 12 beginner, intermediate and advanced pistes, four ski and sightseeing cable cars of which two are 1,100 m four-seater cars running to a summit at 2,500 m, and two magic carpets for children's and adults' ski instruction. It gives the address as Pingxiliang, Shuixigou Township, Nanshan, Urumqi.

Inside the resort the register records a 2,300 m summit hotel built of European red pine, a North American-style RV hotel, a 6,000 sq m landscape restaurant, a Chinese culture hotel and a covered food street, and it records awards including "China's best ski tourism resort" and "national tourism standardisation demonstration enterprise". The Urumqi municipal register enters 新疆丝绸之路山地度假区 as a 4A-grade scenic area in Urumqi County at Shuixigou Township, Pingxiliang village.

The register's comparative phrases — one of China's three major ski resorts, the only cable cars in the north-west reaching virgin forest, Xinjiang's first North American-style RV hotel — are the department's own wording and are reported here as its claims, not as the record's. The register gives no ticket, season or opening information.
