A single-day winter escape from Hangzhou: three hours of skiing or snowboarding on Daming Mountain followed by a restorative soak at Tuankou Hot Spring Resort. Fast transport, rental gear, and a simple post-bath meal make this a compact alpine day.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the coach into a crisp air that bites at exposed skin, then ride a cable car through a ribbon of forest until the mountain opens: slopes laid out like a patchwork of white, the treeline crouching below a ridge that often sits above the clouds. Daming Mountain’s ski area stretches up toward 1,400 m, offering groomed runs for beginners and steeper forested corridors for stronger riders. By late afternoon the same trip hands you warm steam and mineral water at Tuankou Hot Spring Resort — outdoor pools that push warmth back into cold feet and tired muscles.

Protect eyes and skin
High-altitude sun reflects strongly on snow—use UV sunglasses/goggles and broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Keep essentials accessible
Carry a small zippered pouch for ID, phone, and cash; you'll want them for rentals and the resort café.
