#Club Med Urban Oasis Taicang Resort Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Harbin is too far and too crowded, so this place is very suitable!
If you like skiing, but think that the Northeast and Xinjiang are too far away, then Taicang is very suitable. Club Med Taicang Resort is very close to cities such as Nanjing, Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. It takes about three hours for friends from Nanjing to drive there, and it's even faster by high-speed rail, taking just over an hour, which is very convenient. Club Med Taicang Resort is right next to Taicang Alps Snow World, which has more than 90,000 square meters and is the largest ski resort in East China🎿. Here you can experience the excitement and joy of skiing, and feel the wonderful ice experience brought by the colorful snow entertainment projects.
Here, they use imported snow machines from France, and the indoor temperature is kept between minus 1 degree and 1 degree all year round. There are 5 ski trails with different slopes, the maximum slope is 16%, and the longest snow trail is up to 280m. Both beginners and experienced players can enjoy the joy of high-speed skiing. However, some players complain that the snow trail is not steep enough and not long enough. After all, the indoor is still limited, but I believe that here is the 'invincible' existence in the summer and autumn, because the outdoor ski resort does not open without snow at this time.
In addition to skiing, you can also play ice mirror lake bicycles and snow bumper cars in the snow entertainment area, explore the ice palace, and interact with penguins. You can also go to the Snow Top Bar and Ice Mirror Castle Bar to drink away all the unhappiness. You can also see the light and shadow art exhibition in the resort, play in the camp, take the glacier train, there are really a lot of projects to play!

Clubmed Mediterranean Ark Resort
I had high expectations for my first stay at Clubmed, but the actual experience was average.
I checked in on Sunday. There was only one counter for handling snow tickets, and the speed was relatively slow. There was no GO at check-in.
The check-in time is 3 pm and the check-out time is 11 am (T3 members can delay for 1 hour). In fact, there were no rooms available at 3 pm and I had to wait.
The hotel is very close to Taicang South Station and the Alps Snow World. You can cross the road to the Snow World or go through the corridor on the second floor of the hotel.
Children under 4 years old eat free at the buffet dinner.
There are two snack sets available at the U bar: fried chicken + sandwich/nut platter + fries.
You can follow Clubmed on WeChat in advance to get the daily activity schedule. Activities marked with a small hand symbol are free to participate.
Childcare is available for children over 4 years old.

The rooms are designed based on the European wooden cottages in the snow mountain village. It has more of the taste of a snow village, as if you have really traveled to the Nordic in fairy tales. The interior uses a log color scheme with lively and bright geometric elements, perfectly blending fashion and nature, and the warm-toned room makes people feel comfortable and warm.

U BAR: Located on the first floor of the resort, it combines a French pub and a fashionable life bar. The overall use of bright and lively tones, combined with natural wood elements, creates a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere.
Snow Peak Lounge: Located on the top floor of the resort, the overall design is inspired by the snow mountain cabin pub, and you feel like you are in the Alps cabin pub.

Taicang cm Resort
Taicang cm
I checked in at the Taicang cm Resort this weekend, and the overall experience was very good. The ice and snow-themed skiing and snow entertainment projects are distinctive, and there are also a lot of parent-child amusement facilities in the hotel. It is suitable for friends from East China such as Shanghai and Hangzhou to bring family, partners, and children to spend the holiday time.
Transportation:
You can choose to take the high-speed train directly to Taicang South Station, and then walk to the resort after getting off. You can also choose to take the high-speed train to Taicang Station, and then take a taxi for 20km (30 minutes) to reach the resort.
Friends from East China can also choose to drive there, and it will take about 10 minutes after getting off the highway. The resort is basically within a 3-hour traffic circle, and parking is convenient.
Entertainment:
The biggest theme project of the resort is the Ice and Snow World. There are mainly two sections, the skiing area and the snow entertainment area, and the two projects are charged separately.
The skiing area has 5 slopes, 7 magic carpets, and the snow quality is quite good, soft and smooth, and various slopes can meet the needs of players of different levels. The equipment in the rental area is relatively new, and there were not many people entering in March, so the overall experience was quite good.
The snow entertainment area mainly includes snow bikes, carousels, zip lines, slides, bars, ice rinks, children's areas, penguin areas, etc. Personally, I think the bar in the snow is quite interesting, and the scene is very much like the Northern Kingdom in 'Game of Thrones'. There is a scheduled ice performance in the central area of the snow entertainment area every day.
(The temperature inside the snow field is low, it is recommended to bring your own hats and gloves.)
The hotel's entertainment facilities include KTV, gym, billiard tables, spa, etc. Apart from the 24h gym, most of the projects are charged separately. It can pass the hotel's night time.
There is a bar in the public area on the first floor of the hotel, and the hotel's g o will take everyone to dance and play games at night. The atmosphere is very good.
Accommodation and Dining:
There are quite a few types of hotel rooms, generally speaking, the main choices are deluxe rooms and family rooms. The check-in experience is very smooth. The mini bar in the room is free, and many designs are specially prepared for skiing. The amenities in the room have a set specially prepared for children, which is very considerate.
As for the restaurant, there is one in the hotel, and there is a restaurant in the ski resort. The supporting commercial street also has restaurants. The restaurant on the hotel side mainly offers buffets, with Western food, Chinese food, Japanese cuisine, seafood, etc., with a very complete range of categories. I especially like their seafood fried spaghetti. It is said that the dishes will be more abundant during the peak season. There is also a snow-top bar on the top corridor of the hotel, where the drinks and environment are far superior to the bar on the first floor, and it should be a good choice to have a drink at night.
Supporting Facilities:
There is a supporting commercial street within a 5-minute walk from the hotel. Currently, the occupancy rate of merchants is not high, and the business format is not yet very complete. What is interesting is that you can go to the immersive art exhibition of Cézanne | Dali, or go to the camping site to brew tea and roast by the fire.

An hour slips into the 'Eastern Alps'
A new Club Med Ark Hotel has been opened in Taicang, with a ski resort and commercial street nearby.
The hotel is right next to Taicang South Station, just five to six hundred meters away in a straight line, and can be reached on foot from the station. In addition, if you drive from Shanghai, it takes about an hour to get there. So, if you are carpooling, it is recommended to take a taxi.
The details in the hotel are very good, such as a special place for snow gear, drying equipment in the bathroom, and many designs with Alpine elements.
The ski resort has a skiing area and a snow play area. They are independent of each other, with separate tickets for entry, including snow gear, snow suits, snow boots, etc. I personally like the snow play area very much, with a carousel, bumper cars on ice, mountain bikes, cable cars, and you can also see penguins. In addition, there is an ice bar, which has a very atmospheric feel, it's really great.
