The price is about the same compared to onsite prices. We decided to book using the trip for our convenience, limit conversation in the cashier area, hehehe. Anyway, booking was easy and straightforward and I got the confirmation instantly. The whole family enjoyed our ski experience in Bonski.

My wife and I went on a trip to the ski resort for the new year. The facilities were decent, and although we didn't hire an instructor, we still had a great time. 😉

This place is worth for visit especially with family & kids. Staff service is good, the only weak point is 3hr time start counting once enter, customer need to collect the equipment & wearing the clothes etc, all this had consume a lot of time. If after attire start counting hour when enter the ski entrance would be better.

2025 New Year's Eve countdown, 2026 New Year's Day, the price is only $1400, very cheap! Includes 5 star hotel, includes buffet breakfast for 2 people. The breakfast is rich in variety! The room is not very clean, the black toilet has no bathroom fan, the ventilation is a bit poor. But the toilet and bathroom are separate, which is good. Actually sleep up to 3 people. Not many people ski on New Year's Day, the ski trails are more fun, and practicing S turn on advanced trails can learn not to avoid the center of gravity! Will come again

Booked the Jianguo Hotel with friends for the Guangzhou Marathon, and I highly recommend it for runners. The hotel service was quite good, and the front desk staff were very enthusiastic. Although the facilities are a bit old, overall it's still a good place to stay. The location is excellent; it's just 100 meters to Guangzhou East Railway Station Metro, and one stop gets you to Sports Center, plus a 10-minute walk. If I had known, I wouldn't have checked my bag, which would have allowed me to sleep an extra hour or so. Here's a suggestion: For the Guangzhou Marathon day, it would be great if the dim sum buffet could be extended until 3 PM or even later. After finishing the race, stretching, picking up items, and waiting for friends takes a while, and it gets a bit late. After a tiring run, if the hotel still offered Cantonese dim sum, we could shower, head downstairs to eat with friends, and then go back up to rest. Otherwise, we have to go through the hassle of showering, going out to eat, and then coming back to the hotel. Plus, having food available at the hotel at that time would likely increase the chances of guests booking consecutive nights, especially those not leaving that day.

Lots of eatery nearby, ranging from hotpot’s to bubble tea, shopping malls and etc. Even late at night at wee hours there are still shops operating and you definitely won’t go hungry. Easy to get around When we were leaving for the airport The concierge was kind enough to arrange transport for us at a reasonable rate even without prior booking, the 2 x 6 seaters cars arrived in 5 minutes.

I booked the wrong hotel by mistake, but the location is just as convenient. It's an older five-star hotel, and the service is still up to par. They even thoughtfully gave us mooncakes since we checked in just before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The pool is very comfortable. However, the room decor really needs an upgrade; I'm looking forward to seeing a much-improved environment next time I stay. The dim sum at the 7th-floor restaurant is excellent.

Guangzhou East Railway Station/Wushan Guangzhou|0.69km from city center
The room felt a little old and run down, and the television had a grainy screen with the sound for each channel varying greatly. We didnt ask reception to fix it as it was late and we intended to watch only for a while before going to bed. The bed and pillows were fantastic though. Breakfast spread was limited but there were 3 to 4 live cooking stations which made things interesting allowing guests to try their local stuff. Their guest service were responsive to emails and friendly. Lots of small eateries nearby though so an excellent location especially if you enjoy late night snacks.. about 6 mins walk to the metro, which is direct from the airport which is a huge plus. Staff service generally impeccable and lobby staff were quick to ask guest if they required help. Apart from the rather run down room and the grainy tv everything else was good.

Absolutely amazing stay at Fraser Suites. This was one of our highlights in GZ. The location is fantastic and connected to the One link Walk. Walking distance to all the major malls and Grandview Mall too. The superstars are definitely the staff. Housekeeping and concierge are impeccable, everyone is attentive and polite and ready to help. This trip, my family fell ill and the staff was ready to help us, assisting my husband to the hospital and getting everything sorted out so that it'd be stress free. We were blown away by their service. This is the best hotel we have stayed at to date anywhere and we will definitely be looking out for Fraser Suites on our future travels. Thank you!

Our stay at Hilton Guangzhou Tianhe was absolutely outstanding. Everything was at the highest level from start to finish. The hotel kindly complimentary provided breakfast for our child, which was a very thoughtful gesture and greatly appreciated. The overall attitude and service from the staff were exceptional — genuinely warm, attentive, and professional. Special thanks to Tania at the reception — she was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful. Domenic was simply fantastic: he welcomed us, assisted us with everything we needed, and made us feel truly taken care of. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very well maintained. All staff members were polite and welcoming. The food was excellent — honestly the best among all the hotels we have stayed at in Guangzhou. The location is also very good, convenient for both business and city access. In our opinion, this is the number one hotel in Guangzhou. Highly recommended. A true 5-star experience.

I heard before that Sheraton Grand Guangzhou Hotel was one of Sheraton's flagship properties in China, so I decided to check in for a night in an executive room. Overall, it was indeed quite good, especially in terms of dining, location, and service. It's definitely a hotel I'd consider returning to. [Thumbs up][Slightly observing] Service: There was someone dedicated to opening car doors at the hotel entrance. When I told the lobby staff we had booked an executive room and wanted to check in at the lounge, an intern, I assume, initially didn't understand and suggested we check in at the front desk. However, a lobby manager quickly came over and resolved the issue. Checking in at the lounge took a bit longer than expected because the staff there were also interns [crying with laughter]. The service at both the lounge and the restaurants was excellent; used plates were cleared very quickly, even when it was busy, which is commendable! [Thumbs up][Big laugh] Dining: The happy hour at this lounge seems quite famous, and it proved to be true. Dishes were promptly replenished, with 10 hot dishes, 4-5 of which were main courses (meats), and all were pretty good. There was a wide variety of desserts and a rich selection of drinks and alcoholic beverages. This happy hour is definitely among the best in Marriott's 'big cafeterias.' [Golden potato][Squinting eyes]. Breakfast also had a good variety, including specialty dishes like congee and Hong Kong-style milk tea, all of which were well-prepared. [Slightly observing][Big laugh] Room: The bedroom part has been renovated with a minimalist and attractive design. The bathroom, however, felt relatively older, creating a strong stylistic dissonance with the bedroom. The view was decent and quite expansive. The suites here seem to be the highlight. [Facepalm] Location: Super prime location. Downstairs are Tiyuxi and Tiyu Center subway stations, making it convenient to go anywhere, and taxis are easy to find. Next to it are TeeMall and Parc Central, so you don't have to worry about food or shopping. It's suitable for people with all sorts of travel needs. [Cute and adorable]

We booked a family room and were very satisfied with our stay. The family room had LEGO toys that kids love, and a full set of children's amenities, including a complete kids' toiletry kit. The small pillows and plush toys were quite unique. The room was clean and comfortable, and the housekeeping auntie on our floor was warm and provided excellent service; the cleaning was superb! Drinking water was plentiful. There are many convenient dining options nearby. Although it's in a bustling urban area, the room was very quiet. The rooftop pool offers nice views.

A Luxurious Retreat with Standout Amenities My stay at the Sofitel Guangzhou Sunrich was excellent. The hotel truly excels in two key areas: first-class amenities and exceptional service. The pool and spa area is a genuine oasis—beautifully designed and perfectly equipped for relaxation. Equally impressive was the staff, who were consistently helpful, professional, and attentive throughout my visit. For complete transparency, my experience had two minor drawbacks. My room, while comfortable and well-appointed, showed slight signs of wear and would benefit from some maintenance updates. The dining experience was also inconsistent; some dishes were memorable, while others were merely average. That said, these points did little to diminish an otherwise wonderful stay. The overall comfort, serene ambiance, and superb service make the Sofitel Sunrich a hotel I would happily return to and recommend without hesitation.

For the past three Christmases, my family and I have enjoyed a hotel vacation at Garden Hotel, and this year was no exception. We used a pre-purchased room voucher, and this year's special included dinner at the Summit Revolving Restaurant – once one of the city's most popular buffets, a must-visit when staying here. What truly stood out this time was the exceptional service from the staff. Their professionalism was top-notch, from the front desk to the guest services center and the buffet restaurant. Everyone was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, ensuring my twins had a fantastic weekend. Regarding the room, we were upgraded to an executive room, our first time staying in one here. The biggest difference from a standard suite was the significantly larger space, especially the bathroom. The view from the window directly overlooked Friendship Shopping Mall, and the evening lights truly gave it a 'city that never sleeps' vibe. Of course, there was one minor disappointment: their famous waterfall began renovations on December 7th and won't reopen until January 1st, 2026. We missed the chance to take photos at this popular spot, haha.

Their constant smiles and gentle demeanor were so welcoming after a long journey. The hotel's location is super close to the airport, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with excellent soundproofing.

The Mandarin Oriental Guangzhou, a hidden gem amidst the bustling city. This was my second stay, and unfortunately, I encountered some unpleasant issues this time. The bar was being used for a large-scale advertisement shoot even during operating hours. Thanks to the assistance of Trip.com, the hotel eventually recognized the problem. Particularly, Assistant Director of Rooms, Wang Jiajun, handled the situation proactively and with great sincerity, reaffirming the Mandarin Oriental's commitment to hospitality. What I was most satisfied with this time was the room service. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, which significantly enhanced my experience. Room service: 100🌟

It's rare for me to leave a bad review, but this one is aimed squarely at the unreliability of the Trip.com app. I was in Guangzhou for a business trip and wanted to check out some high-end hotel designs. I searched online for luxury hotels in Guangzhou, and annoyingly, this one came up quite high in the rankings. I have no idea how such misleading rankings are generated, so it just goes to show you can't always trust what you read online; it's better to verify information through multiple channels. For example, if I had just called the front desk to ask if it was renovated in 2021, I probably wouldn't have booked it. I saw on the Trip.com app that it was renovated in 2021, so I believed it and booked a twin room for 1690. When I actually got to the hotel, I found it was quite old. It was too late in the evening to find another, better hotel. I spoke to a staff member who mentioned it had been open for 17 years (I couldn't verify this, it was just verbal). They really shouldn't put incorrect renovation dates on the app. For many people, a key criterion when booking a hotel is that it's been built or renovated within the last three to four years, as this usually reflects current design trends. They might try to explain that it was *partially* renovated in 2021, so they're playing a word game very cleverly. I won't comment on the price, as location and season can vary, but for an old-fashioned decor like this, the price is a bit high. This Ritz-Carlton is significantly different in detail from other properties of the same brand that have opened in the last four or five years. It's not that it's bad, it's just that the design standards from back then are quite dated. If you genuinely enjoy this so-called 'old money' style, then I guess it's fine for you. Objectively speaking, the cleanliness was good; I inspected the entire place, and it was spotless, and the service was also decent.

Guangzhou Sunac Resort and Surroundings Guangzhou|37.12km from city center
**Service:** The staff were very warm and welcoming. We received a complimentary room upgrade, and all services were very attentive. They even helped deliver takeout food to our room, and arranged for a shuttle to take us directly to our room upon arrival. **Environment:** The hotel is sprawling, with a beautiful garden estate ambiance. Guest rooms are spread across individual villas and standalone buildings. Getting around is convenient; you can call for a shuttle from your room phone to any point on the property, or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll. **Facilities:** The hotel is well-equipped with a gym, two swimming pools, a hot spring, and a children's playground – perfect for a weekend getaway where you can make full use of all the amenities. The rooms are spacious, though some of the in-room facilities felt a bit dated, they were still clean. **Hygiene:** The cleanliness was decent. While you could spot some signs of wear and tear, it wasn't dirty. Being a hotel nestled in a forested area, it's not uncommon to occasionally see small critters like spiders or snails, but keeping the screen windows closed largely resolves any concerns. **Overall:** This hotel is highly recommended for a weekend getaway, a family vacation, a romantic escape for couples, or even a solo retreat to simply switch off and relax.

Bijushuiwan has many hot spring pools, and quite a few of them are unique. My favorites were the ginger pool and the muscle-relaxing pool; the herbal scent was quite strong. There were also plenty of stone slab beds, so no need to worry about finding a spot. Plus, they have a fish spa! 🤗 The hotel is right next to the Liuxi River, and a stroll along the riverbank is very pleasant. For breakfast, they even had handmade pulled noodles with generous chunks of beef brisket! 😀 They also offered rice noodle rolls; I tried the pork and egg one with added green onions and vegetables – it was delicious. Many dim sum items commonly found at morning tea were also available. What I appreciated most was their selection of floral teas; there were so many varieties, and the lavender one was especially flavorful. It would be great if they could set up a few tables outside in the open air, as it gets quite crowded and it can be hard to find a spot for breakfast, and most tables are large round ones where you have to share.

The hotel and the location are outstanding. Just a remark about the buffet at night and the breakfast, the food is too local for this kind of hotel rate. for that night price (1200+ RMB), I would appreciate a more ”fresh” night buffet” and a more balanced ” asian / foreigner breakfast”. coffee is good, juice is processed, asian food is like an average buffet, foreigner side has just basic bread. If you're looking to stay in this very nice hotel, just eat outside. Hot spring is also very nice, many choice of pools.

It was quite late when I checked in, but the front desk thoughtfully upgraded me to a king room with a private pool, allowing me to enjoy the hot spring whenever I wished. The ambiance was as excellent as always. After a full day of working overtime, a soak in the hot spring completely relaxed me. It would have been the icing on the cake if food delivery could be brought directly to the room.

This top-tier resort, having hosted numerous heads of state, truly delivered an exceptional vacation experience! Spanning 2.8 million square meters at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, encircled by the Liuxi River, its Tang Dynasty-style architecture is nestled amidst lush greenery and clear waters. Every corner feels like a picturesque painting, living up to Yu Qiuyu's praise as ”China's highest standard landscape marvel of our time.” Our villa came with a private hot spring tub, featuring rare radon-rich waters directly piped in; a soak left us feeling completely refreshed. The room boasted marble bathrooms with high-end amenities, and the 24-hour private butler service was always on call, attentive yet unobtrusive. The resort facilities are incredibly comprehensive: a 27-hole golf course, a private museum, and an infinity pool are all available. For families, there's a children's playground and greenway cycling, while seniors can enjoy spa treatments and health management. Shuttle carts are available on demand, making getting around incredibly convenient, and the strict security measures provided great peace of mind. Here, you can immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature while enjoying luxurious and thoughtful service.

We drove from Beijing to Hainan and stayed at the W Hotel Xi'an when passing through. Our mood went through a rollercoaster of emotions. Upon check-in, the hotel's 'nightclub' vibe immediately dampened our spirits. However, once we entered our room, the expansive lake view and excellent scenery instantly lifted our mood. All in all, it left a deep impression. Coincidentally, I got a spot in the Guangzhou Marathon, and with so many good hotels in Guangzhou, I specifically booked the W Hotel Guangzhou to check it out. And it certainly didn't disappoint! First, the location is excellent, close to cultural landmarks like the Guangdong Provincial Museum, Guangzhou Library, and Huacheng Square. It's also quite close to both the start/finish line and the bib collection point for the marathon. Secondly, the hotel's design is full of futuristic technology and visual impact. Of course, the lobby still has that 'nightclub' atmosphere, with lighting, music, and decor creating a vibrant, youthful ambiance. The rooms are equipped with modern facilities, and the bedding is luxurious. Furthermore, the dining was also exceptional. We had the buffet dinner on the night we checked in, and the variety was extensive, and the quality was superb. Finally, the service was impeccable. Clinton at the front desk had a smiling demeanor, was highly efficient, and made the check-in process quick. He also helped us with a room upgrade, packed breakfast for us to take to the marathon, and even extended our check-out time because we were late returning from the race. He was truly a thoughtful and heartwarming staff member. In summary, this stay was perfect, leaving us with a unique and unforgettable experience. We will definitely stay again. Thanks again to Clinton at the front desk, you worked hard!

Room allocation was confusing at the start but arrangement was fixed within an hour. Do note that this hotel has different room types and two buildings (one building of rooms has carpets and the other has wooden floors) and we initially thought our room has carpets according to the category photos, but was assigned to a room with wooden floors- thus we quickly asked for a change. Shirley was quick and efficient in helping us move rooms. Breakfast is actually quite a walk from the room and not within the hotel unlike others- you usually need to walk past the outdoors (with or without shelter), it can be rather cold on some mornings. The international breakfast variety was satisfactory though with variety changing everyday. During the time of my stay (mid December), the hotel was hosting guests from the the Guangzhou 15th national games and that meant that we had to go through security bag checks whenever coming back to the hotel, every single night. That was a bit of a hassle but similar to the bag checks you need to do at airports and subways (in China) anyway. When checking out, Xiao Lin and Xiao Yan helped us to quickly check out with no hassle.

An absolutely superb experience at the Holiday Inn Guangzhou Zhujiang New Town! Choosing this hotel was the best decision for my trip to Guangzhou! Its prime location in the heart of Zhujiang New Town is incredibly convenient. The room was spacious and airy, with a well-designed layout spanning over 40 square meters. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offered stunning city views. The custom bedding was soft and comfortable, and the smart lighting control along with the full set of bathroom amenities really showed thoughtful attention to detail. Service was an added bonus. The front desk staff were enthusiastic and efficient, patiently accommodating my room type request. I was pleasantly surprised by the complimentary small green tangerines and toiletries gifted upon check-in. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, with authentic changfen (rice noodle rolls) and creative salted egg yolk custard croissants being absolutely delicious. The hotel's gym and self-service laundry facilities were well-equipped, showing great attention to every detail. It's perfectly suited for both business trips and family vacations, offering incredible value for money. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Guangzhou!

Haha, just a very average hotel. Service was almost non-existent, just run-of-the-mill. They messed up my key card for one less day and made me go downstairs to sort it out myself. While I could do it since I was passing by anyway, a hotel of this caliber should proactively fix its own mistakes. I had also arranged for my breakfast to be extended by a day, repeatedly reminding the front desk to ensure it was handled. Yet, when I went for breakfast, staff still approached me for payment. I told them to reconfirm, but never heard back. They didn't overcharge me, but shouldn't the hotel confirm back to me once resolved, instead of me having to ask again? The outdoor pool was closed, and there was nowhere else to explore in the hotel, so I only visited the breakfast restaurant. There was a cute little bear accompanying me while I ate, and a young lady in the restaurant was playing the harp early in the morning, seemingly still half-asleep. The Christmas decorations in the restaurant were completely uninspired, feeling very cheap. The room layout is hard to describe; it might be limited by the exterior design. However, the view was beautiful, with sights of the Pearl River. The remote control for the smart toilet didn't work. The bed was very comfortable, and the room service was good. My early morning breakfast for one was very generous, and all my special requests were met. It was so much that I couldn't finish it, but when the staff collected the meal cart, they left the leftover pastry in the room. This was quite puzzling. The pastry had filling and was completely uncovered. Do they not consider food safety and hygiene at all? Plus, I returned to my room quite late that day, and the hotel had already turned down the bed. This means that, besides the restaurant staff, the housekeeping auntie had entered the room twice, and neither of them removed the morning's meal. The toiletries were very good; I took a set with me. Not good value for money; I wouldn't recommend coming specifically to check it out.

Excellent location, attentive service, and an amazing pool. **Prime Location:** The hotel is situated in a central area, surrounded by a plethora of dining, shopping, and attractions. Stepping out, you're immediately immersed in the vibrant convenience of the city, perfectly fulfilling the desire to ”explore and eat in Guangzhou.” **Exceptional Service:** The staff provides warm and thoughtful service with high professional standards, entirely befitting its star-rated hotel status. **Good Hygiene:** The overall cleanliness is satisfactory. While some minor signs of age are visible in a few corners of the public areas and rooms (which is completely normal), it doesn't detract from the overall tidiness and comfort; the maintenance is quite good. **Peaceful Sleep:** The room boasts excellent soundproofing, allowing for peaceful sleep every night in the bustling city, ensuring high-quality rest and ample energy for the next day's activities. **Outstanding Pool (The Core Highlight!):** The pool on the fourth floor is a delightful surprise! The deep end, reaching 2.1 meters, is exactly what I look for and is very accommodating for those who like to seriously swim. The water is crystal clear, and even in mid-December, the temperature remained consistently warm and comfortable, making for an excellent swimming experience. This perfectly addresses my core need to ”exercise daily to counteract eating out and avoid gaining weight” – the hotel's pool hit the bullseye! **Summary:** This stay completely met, and even exceeded, my expectations. From the convenient location, excellent service, comfortable sleep, to the outstanding fitness facilities (especially the pool), every aspect perfectly aligned with my needs. I will definitely choose this hotel again.

Describing my stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou as perfect is no exaggeration. The day before check-in, Della from the Executive Lounge contacted me to confirm my arrival time and arranged an early check-in for me. On top of that, she upgraded my room so I could enjoy the stunning views of Canton Tower from my window, which truly elevated my entire experience. Later that evening, when I booked a table at the lobby bar, Della once again secured the best spot for me, directly facing the Canton Tower, making my drinks experience absolutely perfect. Finally, I'm incredibly grateful for Della's service during my stay. She deserves a special mention and a huge thank you!

I booked a standard twin room for a two-night, three-day stay. Upon arrival at the hotel in the morning, I was warmly greeted by a young man at the main entrance who helped me with my luggage to the check-in area in the lobby. While I was waiting, a lovely lady named Beryl from the hotel approached me to inquire about my needs. After learning that I was in Guangzhou for sightseeing and food, she proactively upgraded me to a river view room and provided a temporary room key card (as the room wasn't ready yet), along with a luggage storage card. She noticed it had been over thirty years since my last visit and enthusiastically recommended attractions and restaurants. For lunch, I followed her suggestion and went to Bingsheng across from Taikoo Hui, and the food was indeed fresh and delicious. Near evening, while I was enjoying a Pearl River cruise, I received a call from a gentleman at the hotel who further upgraded me to a deluxe river view suite. They also provided a complimentary fruit platter and chocolates for both days. Honestly, among all the hotels I've stayed at in various places, their service this time was exceptionally thorough, warm, and left me completely satisfied in every aspect. The hotel's amenities were also very pleasing; the in-room facilities were new, well-arranged, and grand. I will definitely stay here again if I have the chance to visit Guangzhou.

This hotel is an excellent choice for a red-eye flight. It's conveniently located right at the subway exit for Terminal 1, making the subway the most straightforward way to get here.

After checking in, you can just freshen up and go to sleep, getting a good night's rest for the next day's journey. The soundproofing seems to be decent, or perhaps it's because all the neighboring rooms are singles, so there's less chatter and noise. The staff's attitude was also good.

The front desk is on the 47th floor, and the rooms are all above the 37th floor, so there are absolutely no obstructions – the views are incredible, with the Pearl River right below, completely unobstructed. The subway station is just downstairs, making it super convenient to get anywhere. There's a Starbucks and a convenience store nearby, and it's very close to the university town. You can even bike there, or it's just one subway stop away. University students' stuff is always good and cheap! Breakfast is included and the variety is pretty decent. For this business trip to Guangzhou, I couldn't book Somerset for the first two nights and stayed at a hotel nearby, but it wasn't as good as this one.

What to Prepare for a Trip to China?

  • Visa & Entry Tips China’s ​240-hour visa-free transit policy now covers ​54 countries, incl. the US, UK, Canada, and Brazil, allowing up to 10 days during layovers. Learn more about China Entry Tips to land in China easily.
  • Getting Connected VPNs are vital for accessing Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc in China. Set one up before arriving. China eSIMs are the easiest option for data and bypassing restrictions. Pocket Wi-Fi devices work best for group but are pricier and require pickup/return.
  • Money Exchange & Tax Refunds Exchange money in China banks (better rates than airports). ATMs accept foreign cards, but notify your bank first. For tax refunds, spend over ¥500 at stores with a "Tax-Free" sign. Keep receipts and get forms stamped at customs before departure.

Must-Have Apps in China

  • China Payment Apps Forget cash. Chinese use ​Alipay (I like it better) or ​WeChat Pay to pay for everything in China. Scan a QR code at noodle stalls, metros, even temples. Link your foreign Visa/Mastercard before landing.
  • China Map Apps Amap (Gaode Map) & Baidu Map (limited English) is what locals use, with real-time navigation, metro/bus routes, and traffic updates. Apple Maps does a good job too if you're already an IOS user.
  • China Transport Apps Street taxis are cheap, but drivers rarely speak English. Use China Taxi App like ​DiDi (China’s Uber)—set your destination in English, pay by Alipay.
  • China Travel Apps 15+ China trips taught me: Use Trip.com. It's the best English app for booking China trains/flights/hotels + finds Trip.com deals.
  • China Dating Apps Locals use ​Tantan (China’s Tinder) and ​Momo. WeChat’s “People Nearby” works too, but expect language barriers unless your Mandarin’s decent.
  • China Food App Use Meituan (also helps find nearby restaurants) or Ele.me for food delivery—both have English mode. No English menu in restaurants? Scan the QR with Alipay's translator.

FAQs about Guangzhou BONSKI

  • How do I get to BONSKI from Hong Kong?

    Take the direct shuttle bus (2.5 hours, $17.08/adult) or high-speed rail + metro + taxi (1.5 hours, ~$30).
  • Which BONSKI package is best for beginners?

    The 3-hour beginner ski pass ($39.79) or the 4-hour ski + snow play combo ($53.14) — both include gear and are budget-friendly.
  • Do I need to book ski lessons in advance?

    Yes! Especially on weekends—private lessons sell out fast. Book online when you buy your ski ticket.
  • Can kids under 3 ski at BONSKI?

    Kids under 3 can’t ski, but they can join the snow play area with a snow play ticket ($26.43) — must be accompanied by an adult.
  • What’s the difference between beginner and intermediate trails?

    Beginner trails are wide and gentle (slope <10°) with magic carpets; intermediate trails are steeper (10°–15°) with chairlifts.
