- Nanshan Ski Village in Beijing's Miyun District, the biggest and most popular ski resort in the area, provides an example of the challenges facing new entrants to the market.
Like other ski facilities in the capital, Nanshan is easy to spot as the resort's 100-acre white patch stands in stark contrast to the brown of the mountains that surround Beijing on three sides.
