Beidahu Китай

When I saw that Beidahu was opening for its very first summer season, and that the weather there was much cooler than in the city, I thought it would be a perfect summer getaway. I also happened to see that our GO friends Jacky and Yulia were there, so the trip quickly came together. This time, we also brought four elderly family members with us.
While making the reservation, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Beidahu was offering a very special summer program: the Ed Stafford Survival Camp. It sounded interesting right away, so we booked it as part of our stay.
Transportation: Getting to the resort is not especially convenient, as it is still quite a long way from the airport. I would recommend taking the high-speed train from the airport to Jilin Station, then taking a taxi from there. There is a local taxi team that specializes in transfers to Beidahu, and the fare from Jilin Station to the resort is about RMB 100.
As soon as we arrived, we met our good friend Jacky, the warm and welcoming front desk GOs, and Village Chief Tatiana. After settling in, we went straight to the restaurant for lunch with Jacky, who gave us a general introduction to the village and recommended some of the activities worth trying.
That afternoon, the two-day survival camp happened to begin, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip.
On the first day, despite the heavy rain, we learned several ways to set up tarps and tents, as well as the uses and techniques of different knots. The second day was even more fun. We headed into the woods and had to build a wilderness shelter from scratch. We also learned how to make a fire, filter dirty water, navigate outdoors, find food, and even try eating insects.
It may sound quite hardcore, but in reality it was very suitable for children. Each group had around six or seven people, so everyone could work together and the activities were not too exhausting. By the end, seeing the shelter we had built ourselves gave everyone a real sense of achievement. Our instructor, Coach Wang, was very professional and explained everything clearly and patiently.
Besides the survival camp, we also joined Nordic walking, fitness dance, mountain karting, and the trampoline park. Before coming, I had wondered whether there would be enough to do during the summer season. After arriving, I realized that four days were nowhere near enough to try everything.
We were also lucky that there was a show every evening during our three-night stay, and each one was enjoyable. The elderly members of our family especially loved the Beidahu variety show, and Jacky’s acrobatic performance was their favorite.
One evening, there was an unexpected local power outage. Tatiana quickly arranged a glow-in-the-dark show that did not require electricity, which kept everyone entertained and made the half-hour outage pass very smoothly. Later that evening, she also sang live herself, and her singing was genuinely at a professional level.
There were plenty of activities for children after the evening shows as well, which meant the adults could finally relax and enjoy drinks and conversations at the bar. Maulana, Liam, and Jerry from the bar team were all very good at listening to guests’ preferences and creating cocktails accordingly. Everything they made suited our taste very well. I especially recommend Liam’s signature cocktail, “Beidahu Rime.”
We also had a wonderful time chatting in the evenings with Vanessa, Jacky, Graicie, King, Yori, Isabella, and Joyboy. Those conversations and personal connections are always such an important part of the Club Med experience.
The holiday passed far too quickly. What started as a simple summer escape turned into a trip full of great activities, memorable moments, and warm interactions. The children, adults, and elderly family members all found something they enjoyed.
I really hope Beidahu opens again next summer. We would definitely love to come back.

Our group of four families just returned from a wonderful Christmas stay at Club Med Beidahu, and it was truly fantastic. This was my second visit, but my first with children, and the team went above and beyond to make it magical for everyone.

The true stars of our stay were the phenomenal GO team, who transformed a great trip into an extraordinary one.

A heartfelt thank you to CDV Manager, Tatiana. Her intuition and warmth were astounding. On our first night, juggling three young kids at the buffet, she immediately saw I needed help and sprang into action. She enlisted Restaurant Manager, Kerry, to help my son—a huge deal, as he’s usually shy with strangers. The fact that he went willingly with Kerry speaks volumes about Kerry’s wonderful way with children. Tatiana seems to be everywhere: hosting dinners, making pancakes and amazing banana smoothies at breakfast, performing in shows, and comforting first-day ski school kids. Her presence is a constant, positive force. She even had the kitchen prepare special broccoli (just blanched) for our kids because she “knows how important vegetables are.” We felt genuinely cared for.

Huge thanks also to:

Frankie and Zhen, for masterfully coordinating our complex transportation needs involving multiple vans and buses. Their efficiency took all the stress out of our travel.

Sharon, for her ever-present, radiant smile and constant willingness to help everywhere. She embodies the joyful spirit of Club Med.

This team, led by Tatiana’s incredible energy, made our Beidahu Christmas celebration everything we hoped for and more. They created lasting, beautiful memories for all our families. We can’t wait to return!

I had a great experience at Club Med Beidahu and truly enjoyed the trip with my family. The highlight was definitely the skiing and snowboarding — the slopes were enjoyable, and it was a wonderful opportunity for us to spend quality time together in the snow.

The rooms were comfortable and cosy, which made it easy to relax after a long day outdoors. Everything felt clean and well-maintained, contributing to a pleasant stay overall.

However, the food was a bit of a letdown. While there was variety, it felt quite repetitive over the course of the stay, and the taste didn’t quite meet expectations. The highly rated hotpot, which required a booking, was especially disappointing. The soup base lacked flavour, and the meat provided was quite tasteless, which made the experience underwhelming.

As for the ski and snow equipment rental, it was decent but not outstanding. If I were to visit again, I would choose to rent from the rental shops located just outside the Club Med ski hall instead, as they offer slightly better brands at a more affordable price.

Overall, it was still a memorable family trip with great skiing experiences, but there are definitely areas that could be improved.

Went to Club Med Beidahu with a group of 8 and honestly had such a good time.

From the moment we arrived, everything felt very smooth and well taken care of. Jacky welcomed us warmly and made settling in super easy, which we really appreciated especially since we were such a big group.

Snowboarding was definitely the highlight of the trip. Huge shoutout to Franco and Tyler — they were amazing coaches. Super patient, very clear with their instructions, and just really good at making everyone feel comfortable no matter their level. You can tell they really know their stuff and enjoy teaching. We all improved a lot over a few days and had a lot of fun doing it.

The rest of the staff were great too. Everyone was friendly and helpful, but Jackson really stood out. He was always attentive during meals and even when we were just hanging around the lounge. Always checking in, making sure we had everything we needed, and just going the extra mile without being asked. Special thanks to the other service staff, Nancy, Alex, Shuo for their excellent service.

For a group our size, things could’ve easily been messy, but the whole experience felt really seamless. Plenty to do, good vibes all around, and just a really easy place to relax and enjoy.

Overall, it was a super fun trip with great people and great service. Definitely one of those holidays where everything just clicks.

Already looking forward to coming back again.

Thank you for the warm & friendly service of all your staff. The reception & instruction on arrival was good especially with a warm drink. Special mention also for Jackson & Kerrine & all their F&B team. Everyone so cheerful & sincere in their greetings. We felt good that Jackson & Kerrine took to get our wine & drinks before our meals. And they were very helpful to show us the way to our tables with with family members. Also thanks to Kerrine for arranging early takeaway breakfast on the last day & had the breakfast packed & placed in the coach early in the morning. We enjoyed the free flow of wine, fun activities & also the ski ground. And also chatting with some of your staff who joined us at our table. Oh I had a good chat doing the snow trekking twice with your Indian guide Berinto. Thank you.
