The Big Air will continue to function as the competition venue for winter sports and be open to the public after the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games. Rachele Longhi, a video creator from Italy, thought that would be convenient to local residents and boost the development of winter sports.

The No. 3 blast furnace area of the former industrial park has been transformed into an Internet-famous destination. Martin Stokic, a photographer from Croatia, said that revitalizing Shougang's production premises through transformation was a great feat. He was eager to watch Beijing Winter Olympic Games.

The visit to ZHIMA JIANKANG "Store no. Zero" allowed foreign social media influencers to experience healthcare services that integrate the culture of the traditional Chinese medicine with the philosophy of modern life. They also thumbed up when catching a glimpse of the vending machine for medicine in the store, for its intelligence and user-friendliness.

Traditional Chinese medical diagnostic services are also offered inside the store where the social media influencers were interested and personally had a try on the pulse-feeling diagnosis from a doctor on duty.

Rachele Longhi thought this experience was amazing and special and she would like to learn more about the traditional Chinese medicine. The store just enlightened many of them on innovative technologies and traditional Chinese culture, and told them more about the culture of the traditional Chinese medicine.
