The jumping platform, built in the old Industrial Park of Shougang, which has long been discontinued, has a ramp of 64 meters high and 164 meters long, which fully reflects the value of the transformation of industrial heritage sites.
Under the blue sky, several cooling towers and large chimneys set off the ski jumping platform built with advanced technology, and this "industrial punk" wind and the Olympic Games are unique and have been praised by athletes and journalists from many countries.
"The venue is amazing"!

The extranet calls the big jump "nuclear power plant"?

Some foreign media also use meaningful headlines to report and attract attention.
Foreign media headlined "Is that a nuclear power plant?" The story behind those towers of the Winter Olympics Big Jump" is reported on Shougang Park.
Some netizens, without understanding the origin of the big jump, also mistakenly regarded the cooling towers that had long been discontinued as the symbols of nuclear power plants.
After the foreign media correctly explained that the Shougang Big Jump was located in a former steel mill, it was criticized by the people on the extranet, believing that it was a nuclear power plant.
Netizens fancy like the big jump platform
In this regard, netizens who understand the truth can't sit still.
Extranet netizens popularize the history of Shougang Big Jump.
One netizen pointed out, "This used to be a steel factory, not a nuclear power plant, and now it is a sports center, an event space, a huge park, and even a venue for weddings." Oh, and it's also the only permanent ski jump in the world."
Someone threw out two contrasting pictures, showing the landscape of Shougang Garden under different lenses. "This is another angle of Shougang Park, in fact, this looks like a cool place!"

An excellent example of environmental protection transformation
In fact, the transformation of Shougang Park, just like the netizens popularized, is not only not a source of "nuclear pollution", but an excellent case of environmental protection reuse and transformation of old factories. As early as 2018, the IOC officially "liked".
The official website of the International Olympic Committee in 2018 "liked" the transformation and reuse of Shougang Park.
According to the official website of the International Olympic Committee, the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee has not only long moved its headquarters to the remodeled Shougang Park, but also other industrial historical sites nearby have also been transformed "to adapt to a healthier and more inclusive future."
