The 2022 Winter Olympics not only put Beijing and Zhangjiakou in Hebei province on the map of winter tourism but left world-class infrastructure behind that has transformed them into globally recognized tourism hot spots.
In Beijing's northwestern Yanqing district, where the Alpine skiing events took place, and Zhangjiakou, which hosted the snowboarding, freestyle, and cross-country skiing events, state-of-the-art venues have become key attractions for winter sports enthusiasts.
Throw in the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway, which has reduced travel between the two cities to an hour, and visitors are able to enjoy the best of both worlds.
