Beijing and Hebei Province will work together to host a series of events to celebrate the first anniversary of the 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games on February 4, the Information Office of the Beijing Municipality said at the press conference on Wednesday.

The 2022 Winter Olympics ran from February 4 to 20, 2022, ahead of the Winter Paralympics staged from March 4 to 13. Both events were held in downtown Beijing, Yanqing District and Zhangjiakou in Hebei Province.

Beijing was the first city in history to host both the Summer Olympics (in 2008) and the Winter Olympics (in 2022).

Saturday's launch will consist of three segments, with the final section dubbed "Together for a Shared Future" after the theme song for the 2022 Winter Olympics. The ceremony is expected to promote reusing the Winter Olympic venues and showcase cultural and artistic performances.
