The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism unveiled eight tourism routes at the event, ranging from Olympic venues to snow villages and parts of the Great Wall along the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway line. A variety of winter sports, as well as outdoor and indoor recreational activities, will be featured during the tourism season.
All districts across Beijing have launched various activities to celebrate the upcoming ice and snow season.
In the western part of the city, Shijingshan district has announced five main tourism routes, including the Big Air Shougang, a venue for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, to further capitalize on the legacy of the major sports event. Beijing’s northern Changping district has issued over 10,000 coupons for skiing activities in major resorts across the district. Yanqing district, in the city’s northwest, has launched 150 activities across seven categories, including winter sports competitions, recreational winter sports, hot springs, and seasonal cuisines for winter.
