CTC Chinese Travel strives to provide a comfortable, caring, and cost-effective way to tour not only the biggest sites in the United States, but throughout China as well. With a professional team and personable staff, we make each and every booking not only a trip, but an experience. To do this, we not only help our clients book their plans, but teach many of the culturally significant practices that help to immerse visitors in the local culture. Being based in Salt Lake City, a past host of the Winter Olympics, we offer a unique experience: high-altitude skiing. Utah is home to one of the greatest snows on earth, and CTC Chinese Travel is happy to help you to experience the fresh powder snowfall in skiing or snowboarding whether you’re trying it for the first time, or a seasoned expert.

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.
