At the Grand River Bay International Ski Resort, young lads dressed in ski costumes rush down the slopes, and they constantly adjust their body parts to draw a beautiful arc that attracts attention.
"Skate well, if you're 10 years younger, I'll skate too." At the bottom of the slope, an old man took out his mobile phone and sighed in admiration while filming.
Recently, the reporter found in the interview that at the moment when the Beijing Winter Olympics are about to be held, the people of Jining District, Wulanchabu City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which is adjacent to Zhangjiakou, are igniting the passion for ice and snow in winter in their own unique way.
Located in Jining District, Dahewan International Ski Resort is a well-known local ice and snow resort, covering a total area of 1.87 million square meters, 9 ski slopes with a total length of 8,200 meters, a snowmaking area of 330,000 square meters, and can accommodate more than 5,000 people at the same time.
The reporter's visit found that in addition to the local ski enthusiasts who have come to ski here in the past few days, some students who have just taken a holiday are also the main tourists of the ski resort.
Different from other ski resorts in China, the consumer group of Dahewan International Ski Resort is positioned as ski beginners, focusing on the "snow play + skiing" game.
Qi Dalentai, secretary of the Jining District Party Committee, told reporters that at the moment when the Beijing Winter Olympics are about to be held, it is a very pleasant thing to let more people enter the ski resort and feel the charm of sports.
"It's very important that everyone comes along." Chi Darrentai said so.
The reporter learned from the Wulanchabu Municipal Government that in the context of the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the Dahewan International Ski Resort will also plan a series of ice and snow tourism products and routes in a timely manner to improve the quality of ice and snow tourism and improve the popularity of ice and snow tourism in Ulanchabu City.
Dahewan International Ski Resort is just the epitome of Inner Mongolia's efforts to help the Beijing Winter Olympics.

The ice and snow sports of "the colder the more passionate" are being staged in various parts of Inner Mongolia.
In Arshan, Inner Mongolia, the 16th Arshan Ice and Snow Festival kicked off on December 30, 2021, and the theme of this ice and snow festival is "Gathering Ice and Snow and Burning the Winter Olympic Dream".
Founded in 2002, the Arshan Ice and Snow Festival has won the title of China's Top Ten Most Influential Ice and Snow Tourism Festivals.

The "strong connection" between ice and snow and sports has become a trend in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
