What are the China elements in the ice ribbon?

The China elements of the ice belt are New Year pictures, 24 solar terms and Dunhuang flying. The official name of the ice ribbon is the National Speed Skating Hall, which undertakes all the speed skating competitions in the Beijing Winter Olympics. It is also the only large-scale permanent indoor venue newly built in Beijing Winter Olympics.

In the future, this new Olympic landmark with China characteristics, located in the central area of the Olympic Park, will, together with the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, outline a new world of "Double Olympic City".

Design concept of ice belt

Starting from an idea of combining ice and speed, 22 ribbons are like the traces of athletes sliding, symbolizing speed and passion. The National Speed Skating Hall will be the speed skating competition venue of Beijing Winter Olympics Avenue, with the largest all-ice design in Asia, with an ice surface area of1.200,000 square meters, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people for all ice sports such as ice hockey, speed skating, figure skating and curling at the same time.
