Spurring boom in mass sports

Yu Donglin, general manager of Wanlong Ski Resort in Zhangjiakou, Hebei province, has seen his business flourish in the two years since China was awarded the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

The number of visitors from across the country increased nearly threefold to 220,000 during the 2015-16 winter season. The resort has expanded from 8,800 square meters to 17,000 sq m.

Wanlong is the epitome of the burgeoning ice and snow sports industry.
