China's National Speed Skating Oval, a key venue of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, opened to the public on Saturday.

The Oval is named the "Ice Ribbon" for its clear crystal appearance and 22 ribbon-like structures made of curved glass.

During the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, it hosted the speed skating competitions, in which 14 gold medals were awarded. 13 Olympic records were set at the venue.

The open speed skating ice arena covers about 6,000 square meters. As the site features advanced technologies, visitors can experience super-fast skating speed.

They can also take photos with Beijing 2022 mascot Bing Dwen Dwen and tour around the Champions Wall. The stadium keeps the medal podium for visitors to experience the award ceremony of the Games.
