Bureau lays out cultural heritage road map for Beijing

Additionally, regarding the protection and utilization of the legacy of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Li Xianxia, a senior official of Beijing's Shijingshan district, said they're planning possible post-Games uses for the facilities, including Big Air Shougang and the National Winter Sports Training Center built in Shougang Industrial Park, the former site of a large State-owned steel plant in Shijingshan district.

"In the future, these facilities will perform the function of a sports recreational block, a snowboarding and aerial skiing research center and an exhibition zone of winter sports," he said.

Meanwhile, a wide range of "sports plus" businesses will be incubated in the industrial park, along with related trade, exposition, entertainment and tourism services.

Li said the renovation of blast furnaces, coke ovens and other abandoned industrial facilities will be implemented. Shijingshan will also keep exploring the cultural value of the Shougang industrial site to build it into a memorial of Beijing's modern steel industry, where visitors can take an immersive trip through its industrial remains.

Li added that the Shougang Industrial Park will prioritize the development of the sci-fi industry. So far, it has attracted Tencent, Beijing Sky Limit Entertainment Group and other enterprises to launch their sci-fi projects in the park.
