Long-Zhu Erlongshan Ski Resort is located in the nationally certified "4-A" Erlong Scenic Reserve in Binxian, 65 kilometers from Harbin. A short hour-long ride on a Long-zhu tour bus takes you from the center of a bustling city to the ski resort at the foot of the mountains.
Erlongshan's pristine lake, encircled by two intertwining mountain ranges, and surrounding a small island in its center, evokes the image of two pearl-eating dragons of ancient legend. Lush and plentiful pine trees and vast expanses of pure white snow create a perfect natural environment for skiing in the winter- slender willows and sandy shores make for an excellent and scenic summer escape. Through Longzhu's continual investment and development, an increasing number of participatory, hands-on activities have emerged from the natural landscape, making the area even more appealing to the tastes of today's modern traveler. The focus on the surrounding natural environment, the hands-on and healthy nature of its activities have turned the resort into a pefect, unique and multifaceted vacation destination in winter, and year-round.
Being a destination for business and pleasure, Longzhu Ski Group has outfitted the resort with living and dining options for any budget. We are currently able to provide rooms for 1,100 guests and dining for 2000 every day. The three-star VIP hotel combines the most modern dining, boarding, entertainment and meeting options under one roof. Longzhu International Skiing Club is the best place to hold meetings and festivals, which provides capacious and magnificent banqueting hall and conference rooms.

One of the first ski resorts in Heilongjiang Province to be recognized with SSS status, these eight years have seen over a million and six hundred thousand visitors from China and abroad, recognition as an official site for the International Skiing Festival, and International Freestyle Skiing competitions- making the resort one of the most popular winter vacational destinations at home and around the world.
