Beijing ready to dazzle at handover

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea - Beijing's eight-minute show at the closing ceremony of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics will convey warm greetings to the world from the host of the 2022 Winter Games in a high-tech way, producer Sha Xiaolan said on Tuesday.

As the host city of the 2022 Games, Beijing will present a show for the handover at Sunday's closing ceremony in Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium, where the performers from Beijing have rehearsed since their arrival.

"The eight-minute show is very different from the show at Athens 2004(Summer Olympics), which showcased China's history with traditional elements like red lanterns and jasmine," Sha said.
