According to the company contracted to construct the new Zhangyeqi International Ski Resort, the formal opening ceremony for the resort will be held on 19th Jan 2013, during which the first stage of the ski resort will be tested by skiers.
Zhangyeqi is located on Xiniumao Mountain, in Gansu’s Sunan County in the vicinity of Zhangye city, in the heartlands of China’s only ethnic Yugur community. At around 70km distance from the city, the average winter temperature varies between -15ºC to -20ºC, with a snowy season lasting approximately 5 months. The average slope gradient is 24-26º. The construction is due to be completed in three phases, with a total investment of over 150,000,000RMB (€20,000,000 / $24,500,00 / £15,000,000). Around 50,000,000RMB (€6,600,000 / $8,100,000 / £5,200,000) has been spent on the first stage, and trial operations will commence mid-January 2013. The resort is funded by investments from the Jinyuan Investment Company, part of the Zhangye City Municipality, the Gansu Qilian Mountain Investment Company and the Beijing Oulang International Landscape Design company. These companies have created a new, combined development, construction and management company to oversee operations.
Their plan is to start locally, then expand firstly throughout the province, before attracting attention from all of China, with the ultimate aim of becoming an international destination. This plan hinges on excellent starting resources, before taking steps to employ Beijing and Heilongjiang based geographic specialists to continue with local planning and surveys, as well as commissioning the Beijing based Oulang Landscaping Firm to create detailed plans. The end result will be a combined skiing and high mountain leisure and tourism resort; all in all North West China’s biggest snow sports destination. The project’s first stage has already resulted in excellent infrastructure, consisting of 4 slopes with a combined length of over 600m. These include dedicated beginners and intermediate level pistes, a snow tubing piste, a childrens’ piste and magic carpets. 2 advanced snow cannon will supply snow during dry periods, while piste bashers will work to maintain conditions. A snowmobiling area rounds off this modern collection of machinery. Access to the slopes is regulated by an up to date card system, enabling slopeside staff to efficiently manage the crowds.
The beautiful and extensive grasslands of the LianShan mountain range offer numerous natural advantages to this development. After the completion of the first pistes for skiers, snowmobilers and snow tubers, futher projects will get underway offering snow-based entertainment all levels of rider. The resort can currently deal with 500 skiers per day, and by linking in other local tourist attractions, visitor engagement hours can be extended. The end result will be to encourage even more visitors to get active and participate in outdoor activities, get excited about the ice and snow, practice their turns, or just get involved in wandering the winter landscape of western China, thereby establishing the resort as a hotspot of tourism nearby Zhangye City. Coming into the summer season, the cable cars will continue to run to encourage sightseeing in the grasslands, hiking, horse riding and minority people related tourism, as well as general promotion of the area’s natural assets.
In order to promote snow sports and to begin to develop the region’s snow-related natural resources, the work to begin the second and third stages of the project, including all related support structures, with the aim of creating a great combined winter sports center in North West China. Throughout 2013 the resort will begin running winter sports competitions, as well as commence the recruitment of the team of specialists required for such a project. The aim is for skiing to become an physical activity for all of Zhangye City’s residents, to attracting praise from winter sports lovers, and to promote the wider expansion of Zhangye City’s winter tourism and cultural programs.
