Q: Skiing in China: Has anyone tried it?

So with November around the corner, I am switching into winter mode. This means drinking lots of delicious hot chocolate, wearing wooly socks and sweaters and dreaming of skiing down the beautiful Alps! But since I'm in China, the Alps remain a dream. I have heard that there are some skiing resorts in northern China though. Has anyone been? Is it worth planning a weekend trip for?

Skiing in China doesn't really compare to the European or American counterparts. I would recommend you to take a trip to Japan or Korea if your budget will allow it or take a low budget weekend trip within China. #

My own experience of skiing in China wasn't actually too bad in itself but the facilities were not up to scratch. This was in what is probably the best skiing resort in China - Yabuli - a few hours from Harbin. If you want a short skiing trip it might be worth it though

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski. ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
