With the PyeongChang Games all wrapped-up, focus now turns to Beijing ahead of its hosting of the 2022 Winter Games. People across the nation are anticipating the event, with hopes of presenting yet another unique display of culture and sport. CGTN's Wu Guoxiu has this story.

Taking over the stage. China's Olympic dream doesn't stop, even as this year's Games have concluded. The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics will be held across three areas, making use of 26 venues, mostly rebuilt from the ones used during the 2008 Summer Games. Organizers are looking to inspire a green and environmental-friendly event.

CHANG YU, PUBLICATION CHIEF BEIJING ORGANIZING COMMITTEE, 2022 OLYMPICS & PARALYMPIC WINTER GAMES "Our Wukesong Sports Center was the basketball venue for the 2008 Summer Olympics. We can change it to a standard ice hockey stadium in six hours. And we can change it back within 6 hours after that."

Since winning the bid in 2015, organizers in Beijing have been building new venues, railway links, and a highway, to connect Beijing with Yanqing County and Zhangjiakou - co-host locations of the event. Some venues for the Beijing Games are already being used for international sporting events. More people have also expressed enthusiasm with certain winter sports, such as skiing. With excitement already growing, many expect the 2022 Games to outshine previous editions.

"I'm a ski-enthusiast. I used to go to the Beijing suburbs or Zhang Jiakou to ski. I think the Winter Olympic can turn winter sports into being more popular."

"I was born in Hei Longjiang Province. I have this sort of emotional connection with ice and snow. So I'm looking forward to seeing good results from China's athletes, especially those from Hei Longjiang Province. All the best for the Beijing Winter Olympics!"

"I think the Beijing 2022 Winter Games will be better than the ones in South Korea. Why? 'Cause our country is larger and stronger. Besides, our athletes keep training and growing up. We might get more gold medals next time."

WU GUOXIU BEIJING "When the Olympics make it to Beijing in 2022, it's widely expected that the Games will boost China's winter sports culture, and public interest. And, with fond memories of the 2008 Beijing Games, many Chinese are anticipating how Beijing will present its own unique version of the Winter Games."
