The oldest of them is 11 years old, the youngest is 5 years old, and many of them are coming to Beijing for the first time. With the sound of nature, they demonstrated to the people of the whole world the sincerity and fraternity of the Chinese nation for the people of the world.
The opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics was wonderful, and the hot performances were even more exciting. On the evening of the 4th, three dance teams in Zhangjiakou had the honor to perform at the "Bird's Nest", which showed the spirit of the people of Shancheng who dedicated to the Winter Olympics, blessed the Winter Olympics and were uplifting and positive.
"Lichun" and "Five Rings" bloom at the top of the "Bird's Nest"
At the opening ceremony, in addition to the shocking performances, the fireworks display session also became the focus of attention of the audience.
When the fireworks in the shape of "Li Chun" bloomed over the "Bird's Nest", the atmosphere of the scene was instantly ignited, and the unique fireworks design surprised the world. The fireworks shapes at the opening ceremony, including "Lichun", "Five Rings" and "Snowflakes", were all from fireworks manufacturing enterprises in Anping County, Hengshui City, Hebei Province.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the small top hats worn by the ushers of the opening ceremony all adopt the traditional tiger head pattern from Hebei folk. 2022 is the "Year of the Tiger" in the Chinese lunar calendar, and according to tradition, people are accustomed to wearing tiger hats for children in the Year of the Tiger.

In the live broadcast of the opening ceremony, there are many shots to the National Ski Jumping Center "Xue Ruyi" and Zhangjiakou Dajing Gate, showing these elements representing Hebei in front of the world.
As one of the landmark venues of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, "Xue Ruyi" is not only the competition venue with the largest amount of engineering and the highest technical difficulty in the construction of the Winter Olympic venue group in Zhangjiakou, but also reflects the concept of "Green Olympics" everywhere in its construction process, which is known as "a model for building green, low-carbon and sustainable venues".
Dajingmen is a landmark ancient building in Zhangjiakou and the earliest "open door" of foreign trade in northern China. From the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, the area around Yuanbaoshan outside the Dajingmen of Zhangjiakou gradually formed a border trade market known in history as "Gong City" and "Tea Horse Mutual Market", since then, Dajingmen, as a mutual market and border trade market of "land commercial port" and "Pidu", has continued to prosper for 450 years, becoming the starting point of the Zhangku Ancient Road, known as the "Second Silk Road". On February 3, the last point of the torch relay in Zhangjiakou of the Beijing Winter Olympics was set at the Dajing Gate.
Beijing and Zhangjiakou jointly hosted the Winter Olympic Games, a "simple, safe and wonderful" Olympic event, which is being presented to the world. (End)
