‍The 2022 Winter Games will be hosted at three venue clusters: downtown Beijing, the capital's northwestern Yanqing county and Zhangjiakou, a prefecture-level city in northwestern Hebei Province. 

Five of the planned venues are in Yanqing, and eight are in Zhangjiakou. Eleven of the twelve located in Beijing were used during the 2008 Summer Olympics. Officials say the planning and construction of venues for the Winter Games will demonstrate sustainable development.

The new National Speed Skating Oval will be a permanent venue for long-track speed skating events. The oval will be constructed on the site of the summer venues for archery and field hockey for the 2008 Games, with infrastructure including water, gas and heating facilities reused. After the Games, the oval will be transformed into an ice-sports center that operates all year long.

The National Aquatics Center will host curling events. A dismountable refrigeration system will be used to transform the Water Cube from a swimming facility into a standard ice-covered curling venue with four tracks. And the Wukesong Arena, host of the 2008 Summer Olympics basketball tournament, will host ice hockey events in 2022. When the arena was first opened ahead of the 2008 Games, hosting skating events was considered as one of the venue's post-Games functions, and an ice-making system was installed beneath the basketball court during its construction in 2005.

As for the iconic Bird's Nest, the main stadium for the 2008 Summer Olympics will host the 2022 Winter Games' opening and closing ceremonies.
