Yabuli Sports Training Base is sprinting toward the finish line to prepare for its starring role in the 2024 Asian Winter Games! This snowy hub in northeastern China recently tested its cross-country skiing routes with a 28-athlete simulation event – a critical dress rehearsal for February's continental winter sports showdown.
Organizers put two routes (1.3km and 2.5km) through their paces, while teams evaluated everything from medical response protocols to camera placements. Pro tip for athletes: The venue's designers learned from Beijing’s 2022 Winter Olympics success, promising -worthy conditions!
Fun fact for travelers: Yabuli will host 32 snow events – just a 2.5-hour drive from Harbin’s famous ice festivals. Whether you're a sports buff or adventure seeker, this is shaping up to be Asia’s coolest winter spectacle!
