"The archaeological and cultural relics protection work in Zhangjiakou Is of great significance. In recent years, we have been continuously and comprehensively promoting the protection and display project of the ruins of Prince Edward City, displaying the latest archaeological achievements to the world in the form of archaeological site parks and showing the charm of China's excellent traditional culture. Zhang Lifang, director of the Hebei Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, previously told the media.
The first principle is "overall protection" - the true and complete protection of the immovable cultural relics and movable cultural relics of the Taizicheng ruins, the protection of the overall pattern of the ruins surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the maintenance of a broad field of vision and spatial characteristics. On this basis, the site itself and the surrounding related historical environment are fully displayed, and the comprehensive values of the history, art and science of the site are fully revealed and disseminated.

"As the only indoor display in the Archaeological Site Park, the interior of the West Courtyard Protection Facility will display the pattern of the double city wall, the excavated cultural relics of the 'Shang Food Bureau', the archaeological demonstration process of the TaiziCheng ruins, etc., and can also carry out a variety of intangible cultural heritage experience activities such as the Shang Food Etiquette Experience." Cui Guanghai, deputy director of the Cultural Heritage Protection Center of Tsinghua University's Architectural Design and Research Institute, previously told the media.

"Four Hours Bowl" and "Winter Olympic Taihe" are the two major themes highlighted by the design language of the heritage park. In addition, multidisciplinary integrated innovative technologies will be used to combine on-site excavation and conservation with the museum's high-tech virtual display to provide fresh materials for telling Chinese stories well.
As Zhang Lifang said in a previous interview with the media, they will make full use of archaeological results and historical research results to build the ruins of Prince Edward City into a first-class national archaeological site park and a Winter Olympic Square with Chinese cultural heritage, so that the Prince Edward City Archaeological Site Park will become a new model for the combination of venue construction and cultural relics protection in the history of the Olympic Games, and show the world the long-standing, profound Chinese civilization.
