Officials in Yanqing have claimed a number of promotional events will be held in the region to ramp up enthusiasm for the 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing.

Yanqing is one of three key venue hubs for the Games, along with the Chinese capital and the ski resort of Zhangjiakou.

Song Haitian, deputy director of the Yanqing Winter Olympics organising office, has claimed they will turn the area into a "world famous ice and snow city".

The renovation work of Vanke Shijinglong Ski Resort, Badaling Ski Resort and the launch of Qidi Qiaobo Ice and Snow Town has been cited as a key promotional tool.

Regulations on funding for winter sport activities, and their integration with tourism, are also in the pipeline.
