BEIJING - The Yanqing Olympic zone, which staged Alpine skiing, bobsleigh, skeleton and luge competitions during the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, will be converted into a multi-outdoor-sports hub in three years, according to a local government plan released on Sunday.

The Yanqing district, located around 70 kilometers from the city center, aims to build itself into a top site for cycling, hiking and camping as well as winter sports.

"Hopefully people can enjoy sports year-round in Yanqing in future - cycling in spring, camping in summer, hiking in autumn and skiing or skating in winter," said Ren Jianghao, deputy head of Yanqing District government.
