The 2 most popular places for ice climbing in China would be Beijing and Shuangqiao Valley in Sichuan (Chengdu is entry point).

Shuangqiao valley is at the base of the Siguniang Mountain and has many developed ice routes (see guidebook below) from WI2-5 and also an area for dry tooling. There are accommodation (US$15-20/night) and gear rental within the Valley. I will be there early and mid Feb. Happy to meet up with others

You might try James at www.summitxp.com
He works for a guiding service out of Beijing.
Also the North Face put out a video years ago on this valley
The Chinese have some really good ice climbers; James and Sun Bin (main guide) both being highly qualified good people.

That's so cool. Looks like great climbing.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
