SHIJIAZHUANG, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- The forest coverage rate of Chongli will reach 70 percent by 2020 to implement the concept of green Olympics in 2022, local authorities said on Sunday.

Chongli, a small district of Zhangjiakou city in north China's Hebei province, about 200 kilometers northwest of Beijing, will stage most of the skiing events during the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.

The district's forest coverage rate reached 67 percent last year, with 420,000 mu (28,000 hectares) newly planted, the largest scale in its history.

Chongli will have an increase of about 150,000 mu (10,000 hectares) of forest area in 2019. Enditem
