摘要

As the 2022 Olympic Winter Games approach,changes are noticeable along the road from Chongli’s old county seat to the Forlong Snow Park in its newly developed area.Grocery stores and street eateries shrouded in steam are slowly fading into oblivion,replaced by hotels and ski gear shops that flank the street,welcoming visitors.Over some 100 years ago,this was a pastoral area for nomadic ethnic minorities.Farming and trading were the main economic activities.Today,the small town,with a snow season as long as five months and permanent population of 126,000,is planning its industrial development from a new perspective.As a host town for skiing events of the 2022 Olympic Winter Games,Chongli,a district of Zhangjiakou City,Hebei Province,has set its sights on the snow business,tourism,and convention industry in line with international standards and aspires to emerge as an important link of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei economic circle.
