“我是爱丽娜,就读于北京外国语大学。这一次的崇礼之行给我带来了太多的没想到!”爱丽娜来自德国,这个美丽的女陔一直用镜头记录着中。国说起这次的崇礼之行,她难掩心中的惊喜。
寓意为崇尚礼仪河北省张家口市崇礼区,这里地处内蒙古高原和华北平原交界地带,空气质量连续多年保持全省最优。“降雪旱,积雪厚,存雪期长达150天”的资源优势,使得崇礼作为北京冬奥会、冬残奥会雪上项目的主要举办地之一而被国际关注。
便捷的交通:京张铁路
“每个人都想滑雪!”爱丽娜兴奋地说:“到崇礼的最好方法是坐京张高铁,它很便利,坐高铁去崇礼给了我一站式服务的体验。最棒的是我们不用担心要背着滑雪板的包,因为它们太重了。”
“这车真稳当,我们的时速已经达到了349公里/小时!” 高铁上爱丽娜和友人不时评论着,完全沉浸在旅程的美妙享受中。65分钟的车程,就这样不知不觉地过去了。
作为中国首条建成投用的智能高铁,京张高铁北京冬奥列车身披瑞雪迎春涂装正式上线,其稳定性、舒适度、人性化和美感都有了全新的提升。冬奥会期间,这趟列车会成为运动员和嘉宾贵宾们的主要交通工具之一,在其他时间会为游客提供安全、便捷、高效的服务。
太舞小镇:满足所有期待
到达崇礼的太舞滑雪小镇,爱丽娜和友人进入酒店房间,窗外雪景一览无余。是的,这个德国姑娘完全被迷人的小镇风光征服了。
“这里太棒了,这个地方满足了我所有的期待,当我打开门走进房间,看到令人惊叹的景色后,只能用无与伦比来形容。”
换好装备来到雪场山下,爱丽娜欣喜地讲述着在这里的体验:“换好衣服先喝一杯咖啡,我很开心这里有很多现场的音乐表演,对来滑雪的人来说,一边滑雪下山一边听音乐,感受着跳舞的人们带来的欢乐气氛,这简直太好了! ”
太舞滑雪小镇是大型综合滑雪度假区,更是2022年冬奥会雪上竞赛项目核心区。太舞独拥崇礼主峰玉石梁(2160米),雪道绝对落差510米。该地区年平均气温4.2摄氏度,雪期长达150天,与世界著名滑雪胜地落基山、阿尔卑斯山同处北纬40-50度,是世界公认的“山地度假”黄金地带。
冬奥氛围:中国元素让人惊叹
一切准备就绪,爱丽娜和友人乘坐缆车上山,开始他们的滑雪之旅。缆车上两人一边欣赏雪景,一边聊天。爱丽娜像大部分的滑雪爱好者一样选择了中级雪道。在山上滑雪之余,还能欣赏雪景和山下的景色,恰逢冬奥季,整个小镇的氛围和冬奥村的景色让她兴奋不已:“我可以感受到冬奥氛围,它已经强烈地感染了我,设计独特的冬奥村和充满中国元素的雪如意(中国国家跳台滑雪中心)等冬奥会设施令我印象深刻!”
如意,作为代表中国传统文化的工艺品,有万事如意、好事连连的美好寓意,是家喻户晓的吉祥物。因与传统如意造形相仿而得名的“雪如意”,是中国首座符合国际标准的跳台滑雪场地,是世界上首个在顶部出发区设置大型悬挑建筑物的跳台滑雪场馆,拥有世界上最长的跳台滑雪赛道,是张家口赛区中工程量最大、技术难度最高的冬奥场馆。“雪如意”为白色冰雪而生,展示的是新时代的中国创造、中国智慧,传递的是敞开怀抱、拥抱世界、共创未来的中国信心、中国气派。她在长城脚下向世界发出冰雪邀约。
一天的滑雪之旅结束了,爱丽娜和友人来到小镇的酒吧休息。酒吧里樂队的演奏、可口的小吃和饮料,让这些滑雪爱好者们在运动一天后,聚集在这里释放疲惫。
她们也十分享受这种氛围。
回想起这次的滑雪之旅,爱丽娜感叹道:“过去几天的体验真的太棒了!便捷的京张高铁、愉快的滑雪体验、美丽的小镇、浓厚的奥运氛围都让我惊喜不断,崇礼已经从一个小村庄变成了世界知名的冬季旅游胜地,它使我流连忘返,我每年冬天都想来。2022北京冬奥会汇集了来自世界各地的冰雪运动高手们,2008北京夏季奥运会给世人带来了无数的惊喜,我们相信北京冬奥会能给我们带来更多意想不到的精彩!”
“My China Surprise”:
German Student’s Trip to Chongli
By Zhang Jiabi
“I’m Alina studying at Beijing Foreign Studies University currently. This trip to Chongli brought me so many surprises!” When talking about Chongli to the camera, this pretty German girl can hardly hide her excitement.
Thanks to its good air quality and beautiful snow, the district of Chongli, whose name means “upholding good social norms and etiquettes”, in Zhangjiakou city, Hebei province, has attracted much international attention as the key host town for most of the ski and snowboarding events during the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games and Winter Paralympic Games.
“The best way to come to Chongli was to take the Jing-Zhang bullet train. It was a hassle-free experience. The best part was that we do not have to worry about the heavy snowboard bags.” said Alina excitedly, referring to the Beijing-Zhangjiakou highspeed railway, which has slashed the travel time between Beijing and the Zhangjiakou Winter Olympics Village from three hours to just 47 minutes.
“The train is pretty stable and the speed has been 349km/h!” Alina chatted with her friends joyfully and her journey passed unknowingly. As the first intelligent highspeed railway, the line is one of the main transportation modes for the athletes and officials during the Winter Olympic Games and for tourists later coming to the place.
“This place is stunning and meet all of my expectations.” When Alina and her friend stepped into the hotel room in Taiwu, they were completely fascinated by the charming view of the small town.
After changing into her ski gears, Alina found she could drink a cup of coffee and there was also some live music around. It could be so cool an experience for the people skiing down the hill while hearing the music and having the whole atmosphere of people dancing around.
As a large comprehensive ski resort, Taiwu is the core area for ski and snowboarding events in the Games. The main peak of Chongli (2160 meters high) is in Taiwu and the absolute drop of its snow track reaches 510 meters. With an annual average temperature of 4.2 Celsius degrees and a snowing period of 150 days, the region is located at 40-50 degrees north latitude, same as those world-famous ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains and the Alps, and an internationally recognized golden area for “mountain vacation”.
After everything was ready, Alina and her friend took the tunnel cable car up the hill to start their skiing trip. Like most ski lovers, Alina chose intermediate ski tracks. With nation and the world gripped by the Winter Olympics fervor, the atmosphere of the entire town and the scenery of the Olympic Village made them so excited. “All the facilities for the Games have been well prepared and the design of the Olympic Village is unique and full of Chinese elements, such as the National Ski Jumping Center, nicknamed Snow Ruyi. All of these things impressed!” Alina said.
Ruyi, a traditional Chinese ceremonial scepter and ornament, has the beautiful implication of good luck. Snow Ruyi, so named because of the resemblance of the building’s shape to the traditional Ruyi, is the first ski jumping venue that meets international standards in China and the first ski jumping venue in the world to set up large cantilever buildings in the top departure area. Of all the Olympic venues in Zhangjiakou city, Snow Ruyi was built with the largest amount of work and the highest technical difficulty. It shows China’s intelligence and creation and delivers Chinese confidence to create a better and shared future together with the world.
After the skiing trip in the day, Alina and her friends rest in the smalltown bar. The band playing, delicious snacks and drinks in the bar make these ski lovers gather here to release their fatigue after a day of exercise.
Looking back on her skiing trip in Chongli, Alina said, “The experience I’ve had last couple of days are the best. The convenient Jing-Zhang bullet train, the awesome skiing, the beautiful Taiwu Ski Resort and the atmosphere of the Winter Olympic Games brought me so many surprises. Chongli transformed from a small village town to world-renowned resort, which is fascinating to me and makes me want to come back every winter. The Beijing Winter Olympic Games have brought together top athletes from around the globe. The Beijing Summer Olympic Games in 2008 gave the world so many surprises. We look forward to more surprises this time.”
