Who in your group rides what
Whether everyone in your group gets a day at Thaiwoo Mountain Bike Park - the grades on offer, the named zones, and how mixed abilities split up.
Green / Blue / Black - three graded levels mirroring the ski pistes
Beginners lap green flow and the tarmac base pump track; advanced riders take the lift to black gravity lines. Lift uplift shared by all levels.
Strong for mixed groups and families - graded trails plus a base pump track (ages 2+); gravity trails cited as age 5+. Lift access removes climbing.
The riding
Purpose-built dirt flow trails plus a tarmac pump track at the base
Gravity-Logic-built machine flow trails with berms, tabletops and rollers; black lines add steeper jumps and features. Exposure generally low on groomed flow.
Signed and graded trail network within a managed lift park; follow color-coded signage. Navigation straightforward.
Described as the most popular MTB park in north China; busier on summer weekends
