Mountain view from our hotel room at the Yabuli town. The winding trail between the trees is used for cross country skiing.
In the ski lift in full (bank robbing) gear .. you can see the reflection of our 3 lady ski instructors in our ski goggles. Only on our final day there then we found that the male instructors were better - teaching-wise and also cuter, hahaha... :P
(left) me and my chums... (right) before going down the botak ski slope.. there was very little snowfall during those few days at the ski resort, plus winds were strong so it was more like SKATING down an ICY slope... super challenging!
Sumptous breakfast spread at the ski resort for 3 of us... the freezing weather really upped our appetites :) Candied fruits selling outside the ski centre, very crunchy and yummy to eat in subzero weather, my favourite snack there. RMB 10 can buy 5 sticks at closing time.

Saint Sophia Cathedral... beautiful Russian church located a couple of blocks from our hotel in the city... had a hard time taking a decent picture of it in the night coz my frozen fingers could not hold my camera properly!
