　　In Beijing, the Beijing Citizens' Happy Ice and Snow Season series of activities have been held for eight consecutive years, bringing ice and snow sports into the homes of ordinary people. There are ice rinks, 97 ice surfaces and 32 snow rinks.

　　Changchun and Jilin have also explored integrated development in the field of ice and snow.

Before 2014, the total number of ice rinks in the two cities was less than 20.

Today, this figure has grown to more than 200, and most of them are public ice rinks in parks and campuses, providing venues for public participation.

　　The construction of a higher-level public service system for national fitness is an important cornerstone for accelerating the construction of a strong sports country, conforming to the inherent requirements of the people for high-quality life, and an important part of promoting the common prosperity of all people to achieve more obvious and substantial progress.

The General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Building a Higher-level National Fitness Public Service System" in March this year, and proposed 29 specific policy measures from 8 aspects.

　　In May of this year, the person in charge of the State General Administration of Sports stated that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, it is planned to promote the construction of 2,000 sports parks and other fitness facilities across the country, and complete the 5,000 township and street sports fitness facilities to make up for the shortcomings.

"We must not only expand the increment, but also revitalize the stock, increase the promotion of the opening of public sports facilities, and comprehensively promote the free or low-cost opening of public sports venues."

　　——Make good use of the heritage of the venues to create a “main position” for national fitness.

The opening to the society this time also allows citizens to have professional venues for various physical exercises at their doorsteps.

　　——Improve traditional fitness venues and create a national fitness cultural landmark.

　　In September 2021, Longtan Zhonghu Park, a large-scale regional comprehensive park converted from the former Beijing Amusement Park, officially opened.

The towering Ferris wheel records the nearly 40-year historical relationship between this park and Beijing.

The park retains the waterfront activity area of ​​the original Beijing Amusement Park, which is divided into three rings: the waterfront vitality ring, the forest walking ring, and the wetland conservation ring. It has become an urban comprehensive park in the core area of ​​the capital.

　　In addition to the "transformation" of Beijing Amusement Park, in Beijing, many fitness venues that are popular with citizens carry memories of generations.

The Shichahai Ice Rink, which is suitable for all ages, and the Dongdan Sports Center next to Chang'an Street contain the splendid history and culture of the ancient capital for thousands of years, and have also become landmarks for national fitness.

Tianjin Sports and Gardens and other departments have renovated a small garden in the community that is "fancy and not useful", laying a plastic track, adding new fitness facilities, and integrating with the original pavilion, trees, green space and other landscapes .

Today, it has become a new paradise for residents to "view upstairs and exercise downstairs".

　　For the old Baoshan people in Shanghai, "Shanghai Nitrate Thermal Flask Gallbladder Factory" has gradually become history, and now it has become the Sanlinqiao Sports Culture Park.

The angular industrial style has been preserved as it is, and the former workshops and warehouses have been renovated and utilized. Various sports such as basketball, indoor golf, rock climbing, diving, wrestling, and indoor equestrian have settled here, making it a hot spot for sports. .
