With a vision of “Joyful Rendezvous upon Pure Ice and Snow （純潔的冰雪，激情的約會）”， Beijing 2022 will build on the legacies of the landmark Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and expects to encourage millions of people across China to embrace winter sports.

The 109 events in seven Olympic winter sports will be held in the three competition zones of central Beijing， Yanqing and Zhangjiakou.

Three competition zones

Beijing will host all the ice events （curling， ice hockey and skating） and four snow events （snowboard big air and freestyle skiing big air， mens and womens）， making full use of the legacy venues of Beijing 2008 in the spirit of Olympic Agenda 2020.

Yanqing， a suburban district of Beijing（80 kilometers to the northwest） and home to the famous Badaling and Juyongguan stretches of the Great Wall， is to host the alpine skiing（高山滑雪） and sliding events.

Zhangjiakou， further to the northwest in the neighbouring Hebei Province， will host all the other snow events in its Chongli district， a popular skiing destination.

Seven new events

The addition of seven new events—womens monobob， freestyle skiing big air （mens and womens）， and mixed team events in short track speed skating team relay， ski jumping， freestyle skiing aerials and snowboard cross—to Beijing 2022s sports programme will bring about the most gender?balanced Winter Olympic Games to date， with more female athletes （45.44 percent） and womens events than at any previous Games.

Spring Festival （Chinese New Year）

Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games will take place in February 2022， coinciding（同時發(fā)生） with the Chinese New Year， the most important holiday in China. Local residents are looking forward to welcoming athletes from around the globe to enjoy the Chinese New Year festivities， the majestic（壯觀的） landscape and the rich cultures of central Beijing， Yanqing， and Zhangjiakou， as they charm the world with the beauty of winter sports.
