In his speech, Wu Xiaojie pointed out that Chaoyang District, as the main bearing area of the “Dual Olympic City”, has released ten action plans for the construction of the “Dual Olympic Chaoyang” after the end of the Winter Olympics, and has cooperated with Zhangjiakou City to start the construction of the Olympic sports and cultural tourism belt. Chaoyang District will make every effort to promote the spirit of the Beijing Winter Olympics, deepen the construction of “Dual Olympic Chaoyang” and continue to magnify the effects of the Olympics. In the next step, Chaoyang District will continue to shape and enhance the Dual Olympics brand, implement ten action plans and serve the capital as the “Dual Olympic City”. Chaoyang District should continue to inherit and innovate the culture of the Olympic Games, strengthen the design and promotion of cultural activities, tourism routes and cultural and creative products with the theme of “Dual Olympics”, and plan and build a number of parks, neighbourhoods and communities with the characteristics of “Dual Olympics”, so as to better integrate the Olympic culture into urban construction and the life of residents. Chaoyang District will fully explore and utilize the cultural resources of the Winter Olympics to create cultural IPs, spread the spirit of the Winter Olympics and tell the story of the “Dual Olympics”. Chaoyang District should continue to enrich and share the legacies of the Dual Olympics, solidify the “Dual Olympics” model of venue utilization, and deepen the “Sports+” integration and innovation. Chaoyang District should speed up the construction of the “hundred parks” of ecological sports and continue to promote the popularization of ice and snow sports, so that the results of the Winter Olympics preparation can better benefit the public.
