Ecosign’s 1999 master plan for Beidahu Sky Mountain, initially aimed at hosting the 2007 Asian Winter Games, evolved into a vision for a year-round resort. By 2008, the updated plan included a pedestrian-friendly village, golf courses, snow play areas, and diverse recreational activities.

In 1999, Ecosign prepared a Ski Area Master Plan of the Beidahu ski facility. Primarily focused on the 2007 Asian Winter Games, the plan was geared toward determining the most economical way of holding the Games. While the development of a four-season destination resort was not the focus of this plan, several of the preliminary concepts illustrated the potential of the site for destination development. Concept elements included a resort village with overnight accommodation and high speed, detachable chairlifts, as well as base lands suitable for two championship 18-hole golf courses. Ecosign’s conclusion was that the Sky Mountain site is one of the best in China, with a mountain capable of holding an Olympic downhill event and plenty of flat base lands suitable for the development of a four-season destination resort village with golf and other recreational activities. 

In 2006, Ecosign explored several different mountain and village concepts. In 2008, Melco China Resorts took over the operation of the Beidahu Resort, and Ecosign was commissioned to update the Master Plan for the creation of a four-season destination resort. Revising the mountain plan and pedestrian oriented resort village, we incorporated central plazas and meeting places, ground floor commercial space and public overnight accommodation units on the upper levels. The plan also included other recreational activities such as a snow play area with snow tubing and beginner skiing, tennis, mountain biking and pedestrian trails, a sightseeing gondola with a mountain top restaurant, golf and cross country skiing.
