Admittedly, safety is an issue, and even on the slight slope of the beginner runs, people slowly careening into fences and other people is not an uncommon sight (usually to the hilarity of onlooking friends). Liu Ying was enjoying her first time on skis, and was quick to recognize its difficulties. "If you go skiing for the first time with some friends who also can't ski well, hiring a teacher's not a bad idea," she nodded. "Because skiing's a bit of a dangerous sport. If you can't ski, if you don't know how to turn. You could fall down or hit somebody. I crashed into a person, and somebody crashed into me too!"

For beginners and advanced skiers alike, a key draw at Yuyang is the price tag. In western countries, the cost and effort to get in a day on the hill are not to be taken lightly. At Yuyang, however, prices are downright reasonable. Four hours of skiing on the weekend costs 260 yuan for entrance fee, lift ticket and equipment rentals. On weekdays, the price drops down to 180 yuan. Visitors should note that prices will be slightly elevated for the upcoming Spring Festival holiday.
