Snow circle trails, colorful slides, snowmobiles, snow tanks... With the beijing winter olympics, ice and snow sports have also set off a new upsurge in Ganyu District, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province.

"It's nice to have such a ski resort in town, it's a 20-minute bus ride from home, and I've always wanted to experience it myself, and now I've finally fulfilled my wish." Mr. Zhang, who is wearing ski equipment in the waiting area of the Tower Mountain Ski Resort, said.

At the Qingkou Diving Park Ski Resort, it is full of figures holding poles and pedaling skis. "I was very happy today, I would wrestle a lot when I first started skiing, but with the help of the coach, I quickly learned that the feeling of being close to flying is wonderful." Little ski enthusiast Li Shumo said excitedly.

In addition to the strong Winter Olympic atmosphere that can be felt in the ski resort, the integration of intangible cultural heritage and Winter Olympic elements has also added a lot of cultural color. In the studio of Sun Liandong, a non-hereditary heir of Lianyungang City, the "Ice Pier", a mascot that is loved by everyone, has been shaped to be cute and full of technology.

"This 'Tsubby For the Winter Olympics' face sculpture takes the Winter Olympics as the theme, is 42 centimeters long, 30 centimeters wide and 30 centimeters high, and the background is embellished with snow scenes of the Great Wall and colorful balloons, showing the slogan of the Winter Olympics 'Together to the Future' and expressing expectations and blessings for the Beijing Winter Olympics." Sun Liandong introduced his works.

During the Spring Festival, skiing "New Year" has become a new trend of fitness and entertainment for many citizens and tourists. In Erdao Street, a culture in Ganyu District, many non-hereditary inheritors have created works of Winter Olympic elements such as "ice piers" and "snow rongrong" through traditional handicrafts such as sugar painting, paper cutting, and embroidery, and jointly cheered for the Winter Olympics.
