Since the Beijing's 2022 Olympic Winter Games, Ningxia has been encouraging residents to participate in various winter sports activities in a bid to promote the high-quality development of the sports industry. Meanwhile, Ningxia plans to declare Yahao International Ski Resort as a national sub-plateau skiing training base, providing a well-equipped training base for the national sports team and promoting the development of national fitness.
At present, Phase II of Yahao International Ski Resort is under construction. Yang proposed to give further support in terms of finance and professional skiing coaches to the resort.
