The skiing resort of the Nanhaizi Park in Beijing Economic Technological Development Area of the E-town opened to the public on Jan 30. The spacious skiing slope attracted a large crowd of visitors on the first day.

The 4,500 square meters' site has many lanes for the beginners and a variety of skiing facilities. Outside the professional sports lanes, there are merry-go-rounds, motor cycling, dog-driven sleds in the snow, snow football, and a dozen of other entertainment programs. The severe cold could not stop people from enjoying the thrill in the snow.

Another attractive item is the cheap entrance price, at 40 yuan ($6.4), a surprise for the visitors. At present, the ticket could also be brought online at a discount price of 30 yuan, at some groupon sites—nuomi.com, meituan.com, and baidu.com. Visitors could also get a discount with the Wechat account.

How to get to the skiing resort in the vast Nanhaizi Park? There are special electric vehicles at each of the parking lot as well as at the Southern Gate of the park, which will take only a couple of minutes' tour to arrive.
