Zhangjiakou has come a long way from its turbulent past. In 1937, after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Japanese troops entered this northern gateway to Beijing, marking a difficult period of occupation. Though the scars of war were deep, history has only fueled the city’s determination to reinvent itself.
Fast forward to 2022, when Zhangjiakou stepped into the global spotlight as one of the host cities for the Winter Olympics. Today, this resilient city is leveraging its Olympic legacy to accelerate sports-tourism integration and boost a thriving ice and snow equipment industry. From hardship to hope, Zhangjiakou now inspires a future filled with innovation and vibrant energy! ❄️🏂
