Silk Road Ski Resort China Visit
We were delayed in Urumqi on our way to Aletai for 8 hours, so we decided to go on a little local tour. Our first stop was at the Silk Road ski area, where we went on a little chairlift ride, met some of the local skiers and had a great lunch. Unfortunately we didn't have our skis with us (they were back at the airport in transit to Aletai), but it was good to meet some of the locals and check out our first resort in China.

This week, in honor of a friend's birthday, I did something I've never done before here in Xinjiang - I went skiing. Well, technically I went snowboarding in China.
I'm from Texas, so snow was not a big part of my life growing up. Sure, I took a trip to Colorado to try my hand at skiing, but until today I had never strapped on a snowboard. The first two hours were a mess, with faceplant after faceplant.
Thankfully, the third and fourth hours were much better. We went to the Silk Road Resort (丝绸之路滑雪场), one of the better places to ski near the Xinjiang capital of Urumqi. Cost to get in was only 100 RMB for 4 hours, including ski rental.
It was a wild ride and I have plenty of bruises and soreness to show for it, but I can now punch some new holes in my man card, officially calling myself a snowboarder. Ha!

Historic Silk Road oasis Dunhuang being swallowed by desert sands in northwest China
Subscribe to our YouTube channel for free here:
For more than 2,000 years, Dunhuang in China's northwestern Gansu province was known as a pearl of the ancient Silk Road – famous for its oasis with a crescent-shaped lake and “singing sand” dunes.
But today, Dunhuang is under threat from the expanding Kumtag Desert. Experts say without urgent efforts to protect Dunhuang, the city which continues to have great importance for archaeology and tourism, could disappear in 50 years.
