Play with the Winter Olympics
On February 4, 2022, at 19:30 at the evening of the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, everyone must have been brushed by the cute "ice pier" and "snow rongrong" to burst the circle of friends. These two mascots circled fans at home and abroad, sold out, even the designer's son could not buy, the Prince of Monaco asked for another one... Some people lament that a "pier" is difficult to find, and some people ask how to realize the freedom of the "ice pier".
The difficulty of finding a "pier" for this mascot also illustrates the success of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The Yanqing competition area of the Winter Olympics is worth mentioning, because the entire Yanqing competition area is built according to the mountain, and within the altitude of 500 meters to 2198 meters and an area of 16 square kilometers in Xiaohaituo Mountain, six winter Olympic venues such as the National Alpine Ski Center and the National Bobsleigh Center have been built.
Let's follow in the footsteps of the Winter Olympics today to see these fun places!
Little Sea Pass Mountain Snow Flying Swallow
Located in the southern foothills of Xiaohaituo Mountain, the core area of the Yanqing Division of the Beijing Winter Olympics, with an altitude of 2198 meters, is the most difficult competition area for the construction of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
The first thing you can see is the "National Alpine Ski Center"! Also known as "the crown jewel of the Winter Olympics", alpine skiing is one of the most challenging and ornamental Winter Olympics.
At the beginning, this place could be called the most difficult place to build, but you can imagine how much everyone paid for the Winter Olympics. There is also a story in this, the Winter Olympics will be very strict with the requirements of snow for the game, and Beijing does not have such a large amount of snowfall, so it can only be completed by artificial snowfall, but the international blockade of the mainland is the core technology and qualification standards of snowmaking, so what kind of snow in the Winter Olympics will cause to achieve the standard depends on the mainland's scientific and technological personnel to grope for themselves, and finally successfully passed the review of the International Olympic Games! This is also a proof of strength to not seek others to rely on themselves! Therefore, during the Winter Olympics, every Chinese Winter Olympic athlete who participates in the Competition is worth cheering up for all of us, after all, it has never been easy for the entire Winter Olympics to participate in the later construction of the Chinese team.
Between the lofty mountains, the long white and narrow pistes are actually alpine skiing tracks. There are 7 of them, 3 of which are race tracks and 4 are training tracks. The highest point of the National Alpine Ski Center reaches 2198 meters, which is the first altitude of all the venues of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, the total length of the track is more than 9 kilometers, along the ridge all the way down, the drop reached 908 meters, which is also the largest drop in our domestic ski slopes! And because of its long slope, it looks like a swallow that is flying from a distance, so it also has a nice name "Snow Flying Swallow".
Overlooking Xiaohaituo Mountain from above, the "Snow Flying Swallow" pistes are 7 white waterfalls, and at the foot of the mountain is the "Snow Dragon", the National Bobsleigh Center.
Bobsleigh center
Snow Dragon is the National Bobsleigh Center and is also known as "Snow F1".
From the air, the track of the National Bobsleigh Center winds through the ridge, and the "Wanruo Dragon" is like this, so it is also called "Snow Dragon". As the first bobsleigh track in China, during the Winter Olympics, all three sports of bobsleigh, steel frame bobsleigh and bobsleigh will also be held here.
The track of "Snow Dragon" is mainly composed of 16 curves with different angles and slopes, and since there is no construction experience of the same type in China, it is also the first bobsleigh track in China and the only bobsleigh track in the world with a 360 ° swing.
Also known as "luge", bobsleighs are sports that glide on ice tracks on a steerable sled. Bobsleigh is the fastest sport in the Winter Olympics, so it is called "Snow F1". The national bobsleigh center has a total length of about 1.9 kilometers, and the vertical drop is more than 120 meters, which is equivalent to more than 40 stories high, which also ensures that the fastest glide speed can reach about 140 kilometers per hour when athletes compete here. The wind tunnel test of the domestic snowmobile of the Winter Olympics was carried out at the China Aerospace Aerodynamic Technology Research Institute, which was originally used to study the wind tunnel of aircraft, missiles and rockets, and now it is helping the athletes of the Mainland Winter Olympics.
As the first high-strength hyperboloid shotcrete molding track in China, the bobsleigh center track has extremely high process accuracy and quality requirements. Therefore, the track construction of the National Bobsleigh Center is the project with the most difficult design, the greatest construction difficulty and the most complex construction process in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics project, which requires special design. However, the final completion also shows that the scientific and technical personnel of our country are really good!
And unlike many foreign bobsleigh tracks, the design team added a shaded roof to this track, which can minimize energy consumption while protecting athletes and tracks, highlighting the concept of green Winter Olympics.

Winter Olympic Village
WINTER
Extremely convenient
The Winter Olympic Village is also a place that must be mentioned, after all, it is about all the athletes living. I think of the Olympic Village of the Tokyo Olympic Games, but it has caused many athletes and spectators to complain. However, our living environment has always been very good, and the Olympic Village in 2008 is very good in the current Yanqing Winter Olympic Village.
The overall architectural layout of Yanqing's Winter Olympic Village adopts the "mountain village" style, and the semi-open courtyard is built on the mountain, especially the cultural flavor of the northern Chinese courtyard, and this kind of building will neither destroy the surrounding mountain environment nor affect the beauty of the mountains, but is more like a little highlight dotted between the mountains.
The biggest difference between Yanqing Winter Olympic Village and Beijing Winter Olympic Village and Zhangjiakou Winter Olympic Village, and a major feature is that it can be passed by cable car. Athletes can take a cable car from the Winter Olympic Village and reach the departure platform of the National Alpine Ski Center "Snow Flying Swallow" in 30 minutes. It can be said that it is the most convenient Winter Olympic Village!
The Winter Olympics have been playing for a few days since the opening of the Games, just in time for the Chinese New Year. In the Winter Olympic Village in Yanqing Area, there are naturally not only elements such as the five Olympic rings, but also a lot of New Year elements! The whole Yanqing Olympic Village is full of joy, and perhaps this is also a special experience for every foreign athlete who comes to Beijing to compete, and everyone spends the New Year together!
