[Beijing Winter Olympics] The "Great Wall of Ice and Snow" on the Winter Olympics track was inspired by Shanhaiguan
[Explanation] On February 11, the operation team of the Genting Stadium Group held a briefing at the Zhangjiakou Mountain News Center to introduce the construction of the stadium and the guarantee of the operation of the event.
[Explanation] With the broadcast of the Winter Olympics, many people noticed that Chinese elements such as "Great Wall", "corner tower" and "Chinese roof" appeared on the track.
The designs of these Chinese elements have many specific uses other than decoration.

When looking from top to bottom, the left-hand side is the same as the Great Wall (shape), it is not only a beautiful visual shape, but also has the function of windproof.
The highlight is this little house. You watched the broadcast in front of you. Our little athlete, 17-year-old Su Yiming, used this prop to slide and flip down the wall.
Further down is a watchtower. The watchtower is now standing with cameras and other referee seats, just looking like a barrel-shaped prop.
[Explanation] It is understood that a total of 36 international top shapers and Chinese personnel participated in the design of the track.
The Chinese elements on the track are mainly inspired by Shanhaiguan.

Where does this inspiration come from?
Coming from Shanhaiguan, the first pass in the world, I have really communicated with the shaping team.
It also has a lot of waves carved under the turret. You may not see that detail. I went to see it for myself.
He (the modeling team) said that this is the ocean, so the three props areas of Shanhaiguan have elements of the Great Wall on both sides and have their own stories.
This is China in their eyes, and of course China in the eyes of our modeling team. He took the photos for our opinion, and we thought it was very good.
[Explanation] It is understood that after the Winter Olympics and Paralympics, the tracks of Genting Ski Park will continue to undertake international competitions, and some tracks will also be open to the public.
[Concurrent] Shu Wen, Deputy Logistics Director of Genting Venue Group
(Genting Ski Park) These six Olympic tracks are the top tracks in the world and will be retained after the race.
We will use these six tracks to continue to hold the top World Cup events, and some tracks will also be open to the public, because some tracks can be slipped by the public, such as parallel giant slalom, U-shaped pools, obstacles Chase We will make the track easier to open to everyone, and we will present to the public a top-notch first-class resort in the world.
