As the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games approaches, the construction of sports venues for the Games moves steadily forward. As the only winter sports outdoor venue in downtown Beijing, the Big Air Shougang has attracted the world's attention with its unique design and beautiful colors.

Taking the opportunity of the Games, Shougang Park, where the Big Air is located, has completed its transformation and upgrade. Many of the industrial sites have added new functions for the Games while maintaining original industrial elements, turning the obsolete industrial plant area into a tourist attraction featuring industrial and cultural creation.

You may easily feel the gorgeous shift of Shougang Park through the lens of Eric Marie Favreliere, a French photographer visiting Beijing.
