Wu Liyan, deputy director of the Municipal Sports Bureau, introduced that as the city makes up for the shortcomings of the supply of venue facilities, the focus of the popularization of ice and snow sports in Shijiazhuang will shift to "real ice and real snow", so that more and more people can feel the fun of ice and snow sports on real ice and snow.
