Visitor Reviews of Secret Garden
- Pete from China writes:
Secret Garden is about 3 hours car ride from Beijing and is about 20 minutes from Chong li and one hour from Zhangjaiko. This will be where the Freestyle World Cup finals will be held in 2021. There is already a World Cup 22 foot half pipe and excellent terrain park. Snow conditions are great and the hotels and food is excellent. Once the new train arrives the resort will be only 50 minutes from Beijing. In summer there is also mountain biking and hiking.
