The new regulations for Beijing Pass will come into effect today: will it affect millions of cars to ease parking difficulties?

  Beijing, Nov. 1 (Zhang Xu)-On Nov. 1, Beijing, known as the "strictest" new regulations for automobile license to Beijing, was officially implemented. This means that after the implementation of the new regulations, about 1 million foreign license cars in Beijing’s motor vehicle ownership will be bound by the new regulations, and one out of every seven cars in Beijing can only drive outside the Sixth Ring Road for more than 280 days every year.

  Where is the strictest in history?

  According to the Notice of Beijing Municipality on Traffic Management Measures for Some Passenger Cars (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), the measures implemented on November 1, 2019 are called "the strictest in history" because there are four major changes compared with the previous restrictions on foreign license plates.

  Change 1: the restricted area is expanded again.From November 1, 2019, the restricted area of foreign cards will be expanded from Beijing Fifth Ring Road to Beijing Sixth Ring Road, and Tongzhou, the administrative sub-center of Beijing, will be all divided into restricted areas.

  Change 2: The paper entry permit must be clearly stated.There are two ways to apply for a Beijing permit, one is to apply at the high-speed service point on site, and the other is to apply online through the "Beijing Traffic Police APP". After the implementation of the new regulations, the Beijing Pass handled by the mobile phone must be printed into a paper version and placed on the lower left side of the front windshield.

  Electronic entry permit needs to be printed.

  Change 3: The number of days to enter Beijing each year will be limited.Each vehicle with a foreign license plate can apply for a Beijing Pass for up to 12 times a year, and each time is valid for up to 7 days, so it can drive for up to 84 days a year, accounting for 23% of the total number of days in the year.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission, according to the actual needs, it can be applied continuously, or it can be applied monthly or irregularly. After the implementation of the New Deal on November 1, the remaining 61 days in 2019 only account for this year’s quota, which can be understood as a "buffer" and will enter a new counting cycle on January 1 next year.

  Change 4: In the restricted area, you can’t just stop driving.If you fail to apply for a Beijing Pass or the Beijing Pass expires, and park on urban roads above the branch level within the restricted range, the number of days that you can apply for a Beijing Pass in the current year will be deducted according to the number of parking days.

  Millions of non-Beijing brand cars are subject to the new regulations.

  How many cars will be affected by the new regulations of Beijing Pass? According to the data of Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission, by the end of May this year, there were 6.21 million motor vehicles in Beijing (including 5.19 million passenger cars) and about 1 million foreign brand cars. At present, it is circulated on the Internet that individual communities no longer lease parking spaces to vehicles with license plates from other places.

  However, Mr. Xu, who lives in Tongzhou, Beijing and has a car license in Hebei, said that the new regulations have little impact on him. "In the past, you only needed to go to the urban area to get a Beijing permit. Now you need a permit to return to Tongzhou. However, my work doesn’t work very well. It’s really not good. It’s not a big deal to put a car in the community and take a car. "

  According to the explanation of Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission,Vehicles without documents can park in their own parking spaces or in public parking lots off the road, and the number of days will not be deducted, but they need to apply for a Beijing Pass when they go on the road again, otherwise they will be punished accordingly.. In addition, after the foreign vehicle’s Beijing Pass expires, if it is parked in the off-street parking lot, it will not be reduced the effective days of re-issuing, nor will it be punished.

  Why do you want to limit the number of days in Beijing? The Beijing Traffic Management Bureau explained that the traffic environment resources of the central city and the sub-center are limited and cannot afford too many cars.

  According to the monitoring and data of the Beijing Traffic Management Department, about 709,000 vehicles with foreign license plates have been used in Beijing for a long time. Among the vehicles driving on urban expressways, foreign buses account for 10%; The proportion of buses parked in residential areas in the Fifth Ring Road is 5% to 13%, and it has reached 15% to 29% outside the Fifth Ring Road.

  This figure has seriously affected the fairness and effectiveness of Beijing’s total motor vehicle control policy. Of course, there are also concerns about the shortage of parking resources in urban areas.

  To what extent can parking difficulties in Beijing be alleviated?

  The problem of parking difficulty in Beijing has a long history. In 1994, Beijing determined that the allocation index of residential areas was 0.1 parking spaces/household, and in 1999, it was proposed and published in 2002 that the new revised index was 0.3 parking spaces/household inside the Third Ring Road and 0.5 parking spaces/household outside the Third Ring Road.

  In 2015, Beijing revised the parking allocation index of residential areas again. "The total supply of parking spaces should be controlled between 1.1 and 1.3 times the number of motor vehicles". According to the allocation standard, the ideal number of parking spaces in Beijing should be between 6.2 million and 7.4 million, but in fact it is far from being achieved.

  According to the parking space survey data released by the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission in 2017, by the end of 2016, there were 3.82 million parking spaces in urban areas in Beijing, and the demand for night parking was 3.84 million, with the total supply and demand equal; However, the spatial distribution of parking space resources is uneven, and the imbalance gap of residential parking spaces reaches 1.29 million. Among them, the serious vacancy area in the Third Ring Road accounts for 84%, and there is no sufficient parking area in the Fifth Ring Road.

  By the end of May 2019, the number of motor vehicles in Beijing had reached 6.21 million (including 5.19 million passenger cars). Although the number of motor vehicles has slowed down with the introduction of control measures, it is an indisputable fact that there are fewer parking spaces than motor vehicles.

  On the one hand, the number of parking spaces is insufficient, on the other hand, a large number of parking spaces have not been effectively utilized. According to the 2017 China Smart Parking Industry Big Data Report jointly released by ETCP Smart Parking Industry Research Institute and CBN Business Data Center, the utilization rate of parking spaces in Beijing is between 40% and 50%.

  The utilization rate of parking spaces is low. Data source ETCP

  Pan Helin, a postdoctoral fellow in applied economics at China Academy of Fiscal Science, told the reporter: "The new regulations for entering Beijing can reduce the number of foreign vehicles entering Beijing, which has a certain effect on alleviating parking difficulties. However, because the proportion of foreign vehicles is not high, it is mainly necessary to revitalize existing parking space resources by means of big data and peak parking, so as to achieve better results."

  Nie Yaguang, deputy director of the Static Traffic Management Office of the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission, said in an interview with the media that in 2018, the six districts of Beijing provided more than 20,000 parking spaces for residents by tapping the potential to build new three-dimensional parking facilities.

  Changsheng Building, located in North Xinhua Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, is close to the residential area. Under the coordination of the District Urban Management Committee and the street, Changsheng Building took out 200 parking spaces to share with the residents of Xijiaomin Lane, North Xinhua Street and Liubukou, and the parking order was greatly improved.

  The reporter learned in the parking lot of Changsheng Mansion that the monthly rent of parking spaces was adjusted from 900 yuan to 1000 yuan in July 2019. However, residents who have passed the certification of "four certificates in one" (household register, house book, ID card and driving license) can still enjoy the preferential price of 400 yuan every month.

  "Sharing parking spaces for residents not only makes it convenient for residents, but also benefits us. The 24-hour average parking space utilization rate of the parking lot has increased by nearly 20%, and everyone wins." The staff of the parking lot of Changsheng Building told reporters.

  A few days ago, the Static Traffic Management Office of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Communications said that it is studying the introduction of guidelines for sharing parking at wrong times, which will clarify the reward mechanism for parking facilities suppliers and the restraint mechanism for parking space users.

  "According to the parking census data, the potential of shared parking in Beijing is very great. Whether it is from the idle number of public parking spaces or the distance between public parking spaces and residential areas, it is conditional to carry out parking sharing." Nie Yaguang said that at present, there are about 900,000 idle parking spaces in public buildings in Beijing at night. If 50% of the idle parking spaces can be shared with residential areas at different times, about 35% of the parking gap in residential areas can be solved, which is equivalent to the total amount of parking on roads at night. This number is considerable.

Relevant favorable policies landing The used car market is expected to accelerate its recovery.

  Shortly after the release of "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Accelerating the Construction of a Unified National Market", the State Council issued a package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy (hereinafter referred to as "measures"), and once again proposed to completely cancel the restrictions on the movement of used cars and improve the management regulations on the registration, filing and vehicle transaction registration of used car market entities.

  This has injected a warm current into the depressed used car market. China automobile dealers association said that with the implementation of relevant favorable policies, it is expected that the replacement volume will increase significantly in June. At the same time, the source, circulation cost and circulation efficiency of used cars will be improved, the price of used cars will be more close to the people, which will stimulate the growth of market demand and help the inventory of used car dealers to be digested as soon as possible.

  The market is in a recession zone.

  In April, the second-hand car market experienced a rare year-on-year double decline in transaction volume and transaction price. The transaction volume of the second-hand car market nationwide was 1,100,600 vehicles, down 16.51% from the previous month and 26.10% from the previous month. At the same time, the average transaction price of used cars continued to fall. Since the average price of used cars reached a peak of 71,800 yuan in December last year, it fell to 68,300 yuan in April this year.

  Luo Lei, Deputy Secretary-General of china automobile dealers association, believes that the epidemic situation, shrinking market demand, weakening expectations and the decline in purchasing power caused by rising oil prices are all the reasons for the depression of the used car market.

  In May, the average daily transaction scale was slightly better than that in April, but there was still a gap compared with the same period last year. According to the second-hand car Zhou Du Express published by the Information Department of the Circulation Association, the average transaction volume in the fourth week of May was 53,900, up 5.48% from last week and down 10.75% year-on-year. It is estimated that the overall transaction scale of the used car market in May will be 1.13 million to 1.15 million, an increase of 3% from the previous month and a decrease of 21% from the same period last year.

  The latest issue released by the Circulation Association also shows that the "China Second-hand Car Managers Index" (UCMI) was 37.7% in May, which is below threshold, and the second-hand car market is still in a recession.

  According to Lang Xuehong, Deputy Secretary-General of china automobile dealers association, half of used car managers reported that the market demand decreased in May. There is no obvious change in the number of passengers on the used car line, but the number of passengers off the line has decreased to some extent. The reasons for this situation are, on the one hand, that the epidemic prevention and control requires to reduce going out, on the other hand, the used cars traded in the market are still mainly fuel vehicles, and the continuous rise in oil prices has discouraged some consumers.

  On the whole, the second-hand car market did not perform well in May, and the decrease in the rate of consumers entering the store was still the main reason that affected the sales of second-hand cars. At the same time, with the support of the "May 1" new car price concessions and local government car subsidies, consumers who originally wanted to buy second-hand cars switched to new cars, and the inventory in the saturated state was not released, which led to the extension of inventory turnover time, and it was difficult for car dealers to collect the occupied funds, which increased operational risks.

  The second-hand car industry as a whole is depressed, and at the level of car dealers, it is difficult to survive. A number of car dealers told reporters that the second-hand car business is now under great pressure, and some cars are afraid to accept and the inventory is not easy to sell.

  Open up blocking points to promote circulation

  Although in the past two months, the used car industry has been in trouble. However, in the past decade, except for a slight decline in 2020 due to the epidemic, the transaction volume of used cars has shown positive growth for many years, and the growth rate is much higher than that of new cars. In 2021, the transaction volume of used cars was 17,585,100, with a year-on-year growth rate of 22.7%, the highest in the past decade. The sales ratio of new and used cars in China has reached 1.49∶1, which is rapidly catching up with the sales ratio of new and used cars in mature countries.

  However, behind the sustained high growth, the blocking point formed by the used car industry over the years still exists. For example, a large number of used cars will be exported from first-tier cities to second-tier to sixth-tier cities and even county areas, but the relocation restriction policy has hindered the circulation of used cars in different places, and various places have imposed emission standards and age restrictions on used cars, resulting in foreign consumers wanting to buy cars but local car owners wanting to sell cars can’t sell them at a good price.

  The second-hand car industry also faces some problems, such as the failure to establish commodity attributes, restrictions on the business premises of second-hand car enterprises in some areas, and cumbersome approval procedures for adding second-hand car business to automobile distribution enterprises.

  Many blocking points in the field of used car circulation have become the pain points that hinder the full release of automobile consumption potential. It is precisely because of this that after the release of the Measures, Wang Du, deputy secretary-general of china automobile dealers association, said excitedly: "The Association has worked hard to break the restrictions for more than 10 years. The overall driving effect of lifting the restrictions on the second-hand car market is immeasurable, which is a major benefit for the industry to regain confidence." He believes that the policy emphasizes promoting the commercialization and large-scale circulation of used cars, which will greatly simplify the registration procedures of used cars and completely open up the circulation of used cars.

  According to the statistics of the Circulation Association, there are more than 60 million vehicles with national five emission standards, accounting for more than 20% of the existing vehicles. The obstacles to the circulation of used cars have broken the ice one after another, greatly enhancing the expectations and confidence of enterprises in the industry.

  "The second-hand car industry has a strong source of vehicles. First-and second-tier cities are gathering places for high-quality vehicles. Previously, due to the relocation restriction policy, the circulation of high-quality vehicles to the low line was blocked, which inhibited the release of demand for car purchases." Wang Xiaoyu, co-founder and senior vice president of melon seeds used cars, told reporters that the breaking of the restrictions on the circulation area of used cars will enable consumers in low-tier cities to buy high-quality vehicles in high-tier cities, fully releasing the potential of automobile consumption and promoting the upgrading of automobile consumption. At the same time, the smooth sale of second-hand cars in first-and second-tier cities has released the consumer demand for buying new cars and second-hand cars, driven the steady growth of demand for automobile consumption services such as automobile manufacturing and new car sales, and revitalized the entire domestic automobile consumption market.

  Measures to help warm up

  After a package of measures and supporting policies to stabilize economic operation were released one after another, all localities took active actions. At the beginning of June, Hebei Province issued a notice, proposing to "completely cancel the restrictions on the movement of small non-operating used cars that meet the national five emission standards, and improve the regulations on the registration, filing and vehicle transaction registration of used car market entities". Sichuan Province also issued a notice, proposing to "lift the restrictions on the movement of small non-operating used cars that meet the national five emission standards throughout the province".

  According to the investigation of the circulation association, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta are about to release the national five-year restriction, and Tianjin and Hebei Province have already implemented it.

  "The second half of this year will be the best time to break the restrictions on relocation nationwide. If the second-hand car of Guowu is circulated nationwide, the value-added rate of Guowu will be expected to increase by 5%. " Pan Guoguang, chairman of Guangdong Junweilong Automobile Trading Co., Ltd. said.

  The clarity of the "Measures" on the commodity attributes of used cars has also greatly simplified the process of operating and trading used cars. Taking the used car of melon seeds as an example, with the cancellation of the relocation restriction policy, the average delivery time of the platform in different places has been shortened by 8 days, and the delivery in different places can be completed within 24 hours at the earliest.

  Wang Xiaoyu believes that the second-hand car industry is expected to accelerate its recovery in the second half of the year, and the consumer demand will be released in the traditional sales season from September to December.

  "It is estimated that the transaction volume of used cars is expected to jump to 20 million in 2022. By 2025, the proportion of new and old cars will reach 1: 1. " Lang Xuehong was previously in 2021— At the press conference of 2022 Blue Book of China Automobile Circulation Industry, the industry forecast was released on behalf of the Association.

  Although the future can be expected under the policy stimulus, the inventory pressure of used car dealers is still relatively high, and the speed of capital withdrawal is slow. According to the survey of circulation association, the overall inventory cycle of used car dealers in May was 47 days. Insiders suggest that car dealers should still maintain a cautious business strategy. In June, some of the delayed consumer demand will be transformed, and the national epidemic prevention situation will continue to improve. It is expected that there will be a wave of rebound in many places, but it is still recommended that used car dealers reasonably control the inventory level and inventory cycle and withdraw funds as soon as possible.

I don’t even play golf! Trump just issued the latest threat on Twitter!

  Later on the 26th local time, US President Trump issued the latest threat, and tweeted that he had signed an executive order to protect American monuments, memorials and statues, and warned those demonstrators who destroyed it that they would face "long-term imprisonment".

  Trump wrote on Twitter: "I just had the privilege of signing a very powerful executive order to protect American monuments, memorials and statues and crack down on recent violent crimes. Sentence long-term imprisonment to those illegal acts against our great country! "

  Before this tweet, Trump posted an FBI wanted order earlier, which was related to protesters destroying the statue of President andrew jackson in lafayette Park on the 22nd. Trump wrote, "Many people have been detained, and many others are wanted for destroying federal property in lafayette Park. Ten years in prison! "

  After the wanted tweet, Trump then tweeted that he would spend this weekend in Washington to ensure that the "laws and orders" were enforced. He said, "I had planned to go to Bedminster, New Jersey, this weekend, but I wanted to stay in Washington, D.C. to ensure that the laws and orders were enforced. Arsonists, anarchists, robbers and instigators have been basically stopped … … I am doing everything necessary to protect the safety of our community and those people will be brought to justice! "

  The Hill reported that as the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in New Jersey and other states continued to rise, which triggered new concerns about public health and economy in the United States, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut had previously announced that tourists from Arizona would be required to be quarantined for two weeks. When asked if Trump’s cancellation of the trip was related to the new restrictions in New Jersey, White House spokesman Judd Deere said that it had nothing to do with it.

China golfer Feng Shanshan announced his retirement.

  Golf Grand Slam champion and former No.1 Feng Shanshan announced his official retirement on his personal social media platform on the 2nd. 

This is a video of Feng Shanshan’s career review. Provided by Feng Shanshan brokerage team.

  "In recent years, the epidemic has changed a lot of things and made me think a lot. In the past years, I spent most of my time floating outside, always on the journey. Now I can stop for a while, concentrate more on my personal improvement and spend more time with my parents. In the past few decades, golf has brought me a lot, and since then I hope to do more for golf. " Feng Shanshan said in a letter to fans.

This is Feng Shanshan’s letter to fans published on his personal social media account.

  Feng Shanshan was born in Guangzhou on August 5th, 1989. In 2007, she passed the qualification examination and obtained the membership of the American Women’s Professional Golf Tour (LPGA). She is the first LPGA all-in-one player in Chinese mainland. In 2012, Feng Shanshan won the LPGA Championship, which was the first time that a registered player of China Golf Association won four Grand Slam titles.

  During his 15-year career, Feng Shanshan won 22 titles, including 10 LPGA titles, in international competitions such as USA Tour, Europe Tour and Japan Tour. Feng Shanshan ranked first in the world in November 2017, and has been the "queen of the ball" for 23 weeks. In the Olympic Games, Feng Shanshan once played as the captain of the national team in the Rio Olympic Games and the Tokyo Olympic Games, and won a bronze medal in Rio and the eighth place in Tokyo.

On June 10th, 2012, Feng Shanshan wore the national flag and took a photo with the trophy. On the same day, she won the LPGA championship in Pittsburgh, USA. Xinhua news agency

  It is the most memorable moment of Feng Shanshan’s career that he won the first place in the world at the Blue Bay Masters. "It is very coincidental that the goal I set for myself that year was to hit the world first. In 2017, I played well all season. The Blue Bay Master won the championship in Japan one week before the competition and reached the second place in the world. Back in the Blue Bay, many players, family members, teams and friends came up to splash water to celebrate the final putt into the hole. It is incredible for me to complete my goal at the end of the season and stand in the first place in the world. " Feng Shanshan said.

On November 11th, 2017, Feng Shanshan won the ninth LPGA champion in her career at the Blue Bay Masters in Lingshui, Hainan, thus rising to the first place in the professional golf women’s world ranking. Xinhua news agency

  Looking back on his whole career, Feng Shanshan is proud of himself. "In the past, I usually gave this year a score of 85 points or more than 90 points, leaving some space for myself, because golf is such a sport that needs to constantly surpass itself and constantly pursue to become a better self. But when I first started playing, my goal was only to get into LPGA. I have come all the way to the present after constantly completing and refreshing my goals. So I am very proud of my whole career, and now I will give myself 100 points. "

This is Feng Shanshan who won the bronze medal in the women’s golf competition at the Rio Olympic Games. Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Dawei photo

  At present, Feng Shanshan has officially served as the head coach of the women’s team of China National Training Team. She said that she would combine her international experience with the situation of golf in China, and gradually sort out a training system that is most suitable for China players. "Now, as the head coach of the national women’s training team preparing for the Hangzhou Asian Games, I will arrange the training time with the national team to help the players get closer to their respective goals. I hope that more outstanding domestic players can go abroad, and more world No.1 and Olympic medal winners and even gold medals from China will appear. "

  Feng Shanshan also said that she will continue to do a good job in youth training and golf popularization, hoping that the "legion effect" of China players can also be formed in the future professional arena.

Chongli Ski Tour, the first fully operated snow season after Beijing Winter Olympics, is even more popular.

On December 16th, tourists skied at Taiwu Ski Resort. Hebei Daily correspondent Li Dengyun photo
Since November 8, the curtain of the 2023-2024 snow season in Chongli District of Zhangjiakou City has been gradually opened, and major snow fields have been opened one after another, quickly welcoming the peak of passenger flow.
Multiple snow fields record high passenger flow.
"We opened the board on November 11, and more than 8,000 people came that day, setting a new high for the daily passenger flow since the opening in 2015." Ren Xiaoqiang, brand development manager of Chongli Taiwu Ski Resort, told the reporter that the average daily passenger flow in this snow season exceeded 7,000, and the average daily non-weekend passenger flow exceeded 4,000, exceeding the same period in 2019.
The Wanlong Ski Resort, which opened on November 8, received about 110,000 skiers in the first month of the new snow season, setting a new high in the 21 years since its opening. On November 25th, Genting Ski Resort received more than 6,600 skiers, setting a new record for single-day tourists since its opening in 2012. On December 8, the Galaxy Ski Resort in Cuiyun Mountain received nearly 4,500 skiers, which exceeded the highest single-day passenger flow during the Spring Festival this year.
"Before this snow season, we have predicted that there will be a peak passenger flow." Ding Chibing, general manager of Chongli Cuiyunshan International Tourism Resort Operation Center, believes that as the first fully operated snow season after the Beijing Winter Olympics, it is not unexpected that there will be a peak passenger flow this snow season.
In addition, this snow season, the railway department increased the weekend capacity of trains from Beijing to Chongli, and Zhangjiakou Ningyuan Airport also increased flights. "Ningyuan Airport has opened a number of flights to and from southern cities in recent years, bringing many southern tourists." Sun Yan, manager of the brand marketing center of Chongli Fulong Holding Group, said.
The increase of ski tourists has further boosted Chongli’s tourism consumption. In this snow season, the occupancy rate of rooms in most snow resorts in Chongli is high, and the restaurants in snow resorts are also crowded at every meal. According to statistics, in December this year, the booking volume of hotels around Chongli Snow Resort increased by about 8 times compared with the same period in 2019.
"Our accommodation and catering income has increased significantly this snow season." Ren Xiaoqiang said that Taiwu Ski Resort has more than 2,500 beds in seven hotels, with an occupancy rate of about 60% during non-weekend hours and over 90% at weekends.
According to the data from Chongli District Culture, Radio, Film and Television Bureau and Tourism Bureau, as of December 18th, Chongli District has received 1,078,400 tourists this snow season, achieving a comprehensive tourism income of 1.233 billion yuan, of which the "big head" is in major snow fields.
Products are new and services are upgraded.
"Today, I played ice drift and took a snowmobile. It was so exciting. My mother took a lot of photos for me. " At 3 o’clock in the afternoon on December 18th, Xiao Ding, a 13-year-old tourist from Beijing at Chongli Cuiyun Mountain Yinhe Ski Resort, said.
Last week, the Yinhe Ski Resort in Cuiyunshan, Chongli opened a snow amusement park, which attracted many teenagers. This snow amusement park, covering an area of about 60,000 square meters, is built on the Star Lake in Cuiyun Mountain. At present, there are more than 30 ice and snow entertainment projects, such as Happy Snow Castle, Ice Slide, Ice Drift, Speed Karting, Snowmobile, etc., and games such as parent-child interaction and dream treasure hunt have been added.
This snow season, while improving the quality of software and hardware, Chongli major snow resorts have made great efforts in new formats and new ways of playing to attract tourists with "skiing+".
Mushroom trail, snow-rubbing rotary trail, U-shaped trough in the valley, large wave trail, chasing trail, ice-like trail … This snow season, the ski trails in Fulong Ski Resort are richer in types, more interesting and challenging, attracting many skiers who like challenges to "punch in". Taiwu Ski Resort has added four wild trails this snow season. Wanlong Ski Resort has replaced all the guideboards with new ones, and added guideboards for primary roads and intermediate roads, which is convenient for new tourists. The Yinhe Ski Resort in Cuiyun Mountain has introduced "snowboarding" from Norway, which combines snowshoes with small skis, attracting many skiers who pursue individuality.
More food and beverage shops appear in the major snow fields of Chongli, which further facilitates skiers and promotes consumption. Among them, Taiwu Ski Resort has added more than 10 restaurants such as Luckin Coffee and Spanish restaurants, bringing the total number of restaurants to 46; In the Four Seasons Hall and Fengling Legu Commercial Street, Fulong Ski Resort has added a number of catering shops, such as Mo yogurt, Pingquan mutton soup, Laotongguan Chinese hamburger and Sean Mala Tang. Wanlong Ski Resort has introduced catering brands such as Haagen-Dazs and Wuchao Pizza.
The major snow resorts in Chongli have also launched preferential activities this snow season. Dolemeidi Ski Resort has launched low-priced coach tickets for "Xiaobai" customers in 380 yuan, Taiwu Ski Resort has launched the Peak Four Seasons Card, which can ski and ride indefinitely all year round, and Cuiyun Mountain Yinhe Ski Resort has launched the special ticket of "299 yuan double skating+double meals", which has sold more than 10,000 tickets.
Experts predict that it will usher in a larger passenger flow peak.
What will be the next trend of Chongli ski tourism this snow season?
"This snow season, the domestic ski tourism market generally ushered in a peak passenger flow. It is expected that the number of ski tourists in Chongli will increase by about 35% or even more than in the previous fully operated snow season." Zhang Guihai, dean of Heilongjiang Ice and Snow Industry Research Institute and professor of Harbin Institute of Physical Education, told reporters.
Wang Xueli, director of Tsinghua University Sports Industry Development Research Center, is also optimistic about the skiing tourism market in Chongli this snow season. "In this snow season, I think Chongli should be able to reap the consumption dividend brought by the increase in skiing population." She said, "What’s more, New Year’s Day, winter vacation and Spring Festival have not yet arrived, and that is the real’ golden period’ of the ski resort."
Both experts believe that the winter Olympic bonus will continue to be released. Chongli, as the venue of most snow events in Beijing Winter Olympics, will still be an important tourist destination for potential skiers in China, especially those with winter Olympics complex.
Consumption transformation is another factor that the two experts are optimistic about the Chongli ski tourism market this snow season. Wang Xueli said that at present, more and more people are keen on experiential consumption, and sports consumption, including skiing tourism, is developing rapidly, which has injected endogenous power into the continued popularity of snow resorts.
Zhang Guihai believes that Chongli has hosted international competitions such as the World Cup this year, and there will be many domestic professional events and mass events, which will become a powerful thrust for Chongli’s ski tourism market. The direct flight between Zhangjiakou and Shanghai, which opened on December 17th, will also drive more Shanghai skiers to punch in the "City of Winter Olympics".
According to the reporter’s understanding, at present, all major snow resorts in Chongli have made plans for the peak passenger flow this snow season, preparing to open more snow trails and develop more formats. This week, Taiwu Ski Resort will open the Taiwu Lapland Snow Fairy Tale Park with an area of about 40,000 square meters, which will enrich the format and divert passengers. At the end of this month, Cuiyunshan Yinhe Ski Resort will open all the snow trails and go to Beijing for key publicity … (Hebei Daily reporter Wang Weihong)

Beginners become enthusiasts. What is the charm of skiing?

Once, I was trapped in Syracuse in winter; Today, the ice and snow is the Jinshan Yinshan.
This is Chongli-known as "the most ideal natural skiing area in North China", and many snow competitions of Beijing Winter Olympics are being held here.
The change of worshipping ceremony in small towns reflects the leaping development of ice and snow sports in China, and it is also a true portrayal of the welfare of the people in the Winter Olympics.
Many skiers who have been skiing for many years will have the same feeling: in recent years, more and more people like skiing.
Of course, this is not an illusion. Judging from the national statistics and the number of skiers received by various ski resorts, the number of skiers in China has indeed ushered in a blowout in the years when the Beijing Winter Olympics is approaching.
Why do people in China love skiing more and more? In an interview with reporters, industry analysts gave many reasons:
With the combination of better skiing facilities and convenience, the fun of skiing itself, and more and more fashionable and cultural attributes of skiing in social communication, skiing has become the next hot topic of sports.
Young people who love skiing.
The number of skiers has soared.
Many friends who are unfamiliar with skiing may have noticed in recent years that more and more people are exposed to skiing in the "circle of friends".
Statistically, it is true. Especially after the successful bid for the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2015, the skiing population has ushered in a wave of blowout.
According to the White Paper on Ski Industry in China in 2020 released in July, 2021, in the snow season of 2020-2021 (from May 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021), the number of skiers in China reached 20.76 million, a record high.
In the snow season of 2019-2020, because of the epidemic, the number of skiers dropped to 10.45 million, but it immediately rebounded and hit a new high.
According to historical data, the number of skiers in the snow season of 2007-2008 was close to 5 million, and it reached 10 million in the snow season of 2013-2014, an increase of 5 million in six years.
However, in the 2018-2019 snow season, the number of domestic skiers soared to 20.6 million. Compared with the 2013-2014 snow season, the increase in just five years exceeded 10 million.
In an interview with reporters, Li Yongtai, executive vice president of Zhangjiakou Chongli Taiwu Ski Town, revealed that since Taiwu Ski Town opened in 2015, "the passenger flow of skiing is basically increasing by 30% per year". If it were not for the impact of the epidemic, the overall increase could have been even greater.
Zhang Litao, general manager of Fulong Cultural Tourism Co., Ltd. also told reporters that Chongli Fulong Ski Resort was put into operation in 2016. "In the first year, the number of people we received was about 80,000, and this snow season, so far, we have received about 170,000 people two months before the start of the snow season."
Try skiing, it is more convenient and comfortable.
Why can skiing attract so many new enthusiasts? In the eyes of the industry, many people just haven’t had the chance to get in touch with skiing before.
Nowadays, with the increase of domestic ski facilities and convenience, there is almost no threshold for trying skiing, which naturally allows more people to enter the world.
According to statistics, as of 2020, the total number of ski resorts open to the outside world in China is 715. Although it is lower than the historical peak of 770 in the previous year because of the epidemic, it still has a huge increase of 165% compared with 270 in 2010.This means that it is getting easier and easier to find a place to ski.
After choosing the ski destination, the process of reaching the ski resort has become more and more convenient.
Chongli, Zhangjiakou, which was selected as one of the competition areas of Beijing Winter Olympics, is naturally one of the biggest beneficiaries. With the arrival of the Winter Olympics, high-speed rail lines connecting Beijing were opened here and new expressways were built. As Zhang Litao said: "It takes only 40 to 50 minutes to get from Beijing by high-speed train, which is very convenient, and there are also two stations, Prince City Station and Chongli North Station."
"There are also two expressways. If you drive, it only takes more than two hours from the Sixth Ring Road in Beijing, and the traffic arrival problem is solved. This is very good for the Chongli market."
Of course, not only in Chongli, but also in other domestic ski resorts such as Northeast China or Xinjiang, the traffic conditions for service skiing are becoming more and more convenient. In addition, all ski resorts are striving to upgrade their hardware facilities and service quality. For skiers, this is naturally the best time.
Mr. Zhang, who runs a ski shop in Chongli and is also a skier, has personally experienced the better and better changes in the ski resort:"At the earliest snow resort, the guests were pulled to the mountain by car and then slid down. Later, there were electric tow fibers, magic carpets, and later cable cars."
"At first, the cable car was non-enclosed and the speed was relatively slow. When the weather was cold, people would freeze up and sit around. Later, there was a closed high-speed cable car, and the facilities were getting better and better." He told reporters.
After contact skiing, it is too easy to "fall"
Better and more convenient conditions have undoubtedly greatly increased the "contact surface" of skiing for the general public, but there are naturally reasons why many people can really be "captured" by skiing.
In the opinion of ski instructors,The excitement and happiness that skiing itself can bring really makes people want to stop.
Shi Wei, who studied skiing at Chongli local school and became a senior coach at the Mountain Sports Institute of Four Seasons Town in Fulong after graduation, told reporters that skiing is definitely an exciting sport.
"Especially after the speed up, that kind of feeling is too cool, so it will make people linger. Moreover, skiers are more open-minded, lively and easy to get along with, and they will know more friends (through skiing) and get along more comfortably. "
Cui Yajie, president of Mountain Sports College in Four Seasons Town, Fulong, also said, "Even in the primary road, you can see many enthusiasts show their skills and’ fly everywhere’. Many people began to learn slowly in recent years because of the development of the ski market in recent years. After one or two years, two or three years, the level has made great progress. "
While many beginners have become enthusiasts, more and more beginners have come to experience it. As Cui Yajie said, "Groups such as family vacations and travel vacations will come to experience it, and the overall group (skiing) is getting bigger."
"People who love skiing will want to ski more and more, and then they will drive people around them to ski, which is also a feature of skiing."
Outside of sports, skiing has become a fashion culture.
Indeed, as Cui Yajie said, many skiers were actually "pulled" into the world of skiing by people around them, or learned about skiing from friends around them, thus becoming interested.
Compared with a sport, with the continuous promotion and spread of domestic ice and snow culture, skiing has already possessed more cultural attributes, and this trend has naturally attracted the attention of many people in the skiing industry.
Skiing is a sport with strong social attributes.Many people will interact with each other when they see someone in their circle of friends skiing in winter, which is a boost to skiing. Cui Yajie told reporters.
"Now skiing is not just a sport, it has become a part of some people’s lives. Some people may work five days a week, and then they will make an appointment with friends to ski and chat and get together on weekends. Especially for young people today, this is very attractive. "
Zhang Litao also believes that after the spread of social media, the social image of skiing is very dynamic, so it is more attractive: "Nowadays, there are many young people skiing, because skiing is a very fashionable thing, and many people are also dressed very cool. It is both a sport and a communication space. "
Not only in the snow field, fans can show their skills, but also many people are willing to show their personalities through the media platform: "Now skiing has gone beyond the sport itself, and it is really no longer the same as before."
Previously, Zhang Litao from Jilin was a professional platform skier. In his memory, when he was an athlete, the concept of skiing was far from being popularized.
"At that time, it was very closed, and everyone didn’t understand what skiing was all about. In the 1980s, many locals in Northeast China had no concept of skiing."
"In the past, many ordinary people were not exposed to skiing, but now everyone knows about skiing, which is related to the affluence of our lives, the increase of income and the progress of society."
North ice spreads south, east expands and west advances.
Undeniably, in the process of skiing becoming more and more popular, the hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics is a great stimulus.
"For example, if it was said that ice and snow entered the campus before, it was very difficult. Because of the safety issues involved, now they are actively doing these things. The school and the ski resort are connected to let the children snow in winter. This is a social and ideological change." Zhang Litao said.
It is understood that in addition to the popularity of teenagers, some local governments will also give real money subsidies to skiers, so that the latter can ski at a more affordable price.
In addition, the popularity of skiing has also brought a most direct result, that is, skiing, which was originally the "main battlefield" in the north, has attracted a large number of fans from the south through years of publicity and promotion.
In Li Yongtai’s view, skiing is naturally attractive to southerners: "Tourism itself is curious and different. Northerners go to the south and southerners go to the north, and they all want to see something novel and different."
Nowadays, skiing is becoming more and more convenient, which greatly reduces the threshold for southerners to "try early". At the same time, the domestic ski resort is equipped with rich supporting facilities, which is more attractive to beginners.
"Many children who go to school abroad even feel better when they come back to ski than abroad, because foreign ski resorts have different ideas from ours. Some of them don’t have so many service facilities, and they even have to change clothes in the car, or they don’t have equipment to rent, and they don’t have rich catering. Domestic snow resorts have built many surrounding facilities to protect them. "
Coupled with the popularity of indoor ski resorts in the south today, it has sent the opportunity to experience to the doorstep of southerners.
"There are many indoor ski resorts in the south, which is precisely the primary stage of ski resorts, and it is also very easy to guide passengers." Li Yongtai said.
Zhang Litao also thinks: "The appearance of the (southern) summer ski resort has brought great help, because the summer ski resort, no matter how big it is, is also a primary ski resort. When these people practice almost in the resort, they will definitely want to’ fly themselves’ to feel the snow in nature and go to the big ski resort to’ shine’."
"Indoor ski resorts have trained a large number of basic skiers, which has played a decisive role in promoting the southern ski market."
With the promotion of hardware facilities, the popularization of skiing in the society and the spread of skiers to the whole country … With the stimulation and boost of the Beijing Winter Olympics, skiing has ushered in a golden age of development.
"The development of every industry needs big events to stimulate, and the successful bid for the Beijing Winter Olympics is such a condition." Zhang Litao said, "Supporting facilities, reception capacity, venue facilities, including commercial formats and ecological environment … The core elements of prosperity in the post-Winter Olympics era have been formed. After the Beijing Winter Olympics, people will definitely enjoy the fruits of the Winter Olympics. We are full of expectations for the post-Winter Olympics era." (Reporter Pu Yilei)
