(Worldkings.org) The resort is especially known for having 108 ski runs, including 12 runs built to international competition standards.

Hemu Jikepulin International Ski Resort is a large alpine ski destination located near Hemu Village in the Altay Mountains of Xinjiang, northwestern China. Opened in the early 2020s and developed as a world-class winter sports destination, the resort has quickly become one of Asia's most prominent ski areas thanks to its extensive terrain, long vertical drop, and abundant dry powder snow.

 

The resort is especially known for having 108 ski runs, including 12 runs built to international competition standards. This total is widely cited by the resort and tourism sources as the largest number of ski runs at any ski resort in Asia, making it a record-holder by this specific measure. More than 100 of these runs are typically open during peak season.

Hemu Jikepulin is also notable for its scale. The ski area stretches from about 1,383 m to 2,779 m above sea level, creating a vertical drop of approximately 1,396 m, one of the largest lift-served vertical drops in Asia. Its longest ski run extends for more than 11 km, allowing skiers to descend continuously from high alpine terrain to the resort base.

Beyond statistics, the resort has gained recognition among skiing enthusiasts for its vast mountain scenery, dry continental powder snow, and freeride opportunities. Skiers on Reddit and other skiing communities frequently describe Hemu as one of China's premier powder destinations, noting its remote wilderness setting and impressive vertical terrain.
