Melco China Resorts has revealed plans for its inaugural ski-centre development, Sun Mountain Yabuli, which the company says will "Revolutionise [China's] ski resort industry and all aspects of mountain resort development."

The year-round Sun Mountain Yabuli resort, located 2.5 hours from the city of Harbin in northern Heilongjiang province, aims to be the first international-standard ski resort in China, "and fill the need for up-market recreational activities among the country's rapidly growing middle and upper classes."

The revamped alpine village has three hotels under construction (two at the base of the mountain, and one at the top) with a total of 312 rooms, including 24 luxury sky suites with sauna, outdoor hot tub and observatory due to be completed by December 2008. A 263-room condo hotel is also being developed for completion by December 2009. The boutique-style Sun Mountain Lodge has been invited to join the Small Luxury Hotels of the World collection. Mountainside resort homes will also be available for sale.

In addition to the on-mountain and resort activities for accomplished skiers and beginners, Sun Mountain will offer tennis, zip lining, boating and water sports, equestrian, biking, luxury camping and performance driving schools.
