Located 50 KM north of Zhangjiakou in the northern Hebei Province mountains, Chong Li is rapidly being transformed into what the planners hope will be the #1 playground for Beijing'ers. Up to very recently it was just the little town you drove through to get to Wanlong or other regional attractions. Two years ago a couple of hotels were built to serve the growing needs of visitors to the two ski resorts around it. Frequent skiers began as well to soak up the available rental housing in town. Now they are getting serious about development. This past summer saw an explosion in new housing designed for the vacation market and should, finally, successfully kick off the China ski condo industry in a big way. A new Bar Street with restaurants and entertainment will round out the offerings as the new housing is snapped up and becomes the base of a substantial new Ski town.

I Snow hotel in Chong Li
Chong Li has three new hotels built specifically for the resort business. The first to open was the I Snow hotel, a basic but comfortable business hotel level property. This was followed by the Rong Chen, a 4 star hotel associated with a major property development. Just opened is the third major hotel for this small village, the Fountaine Dream Hotel (梦特芳丹假日酒店) that is at the turn off for the road to Wanlong. Just in a "soft opening" mode until Chinese New Year, it almost doubles the resort bed capacity of the town.
