The resort has 2 ski trails for beginners and 6 for intermediate and advanced skiers. The resort has created a child’s ski area, the first of its kind in China.

Erlongshan's pristine lake is enclosed by two intermingling mountain ranges. Adjoining is a small island in its hub which brings to mind the image of two dragons eating a pearl, which is what gave the area its name. The combination of pine trees and white snow make the resort an ideal setting for skiing in the winter, and slender willows and sandy shores in the scenic reserve make for superb views during the summer. The resort is open all year long and is a favorite escape from the summer heat with visitors.
