Shougang Park: a steel mill turned Olympic venue

首钢园

Blast furnaces, a ski jump and cafés — the industrial park young Beijingers love to photograph.

The former Shougang steelworks in west Beijing was rebuilt for the 2022 Winter Olympics. The Big Air ski jump now stands next to rusting blast furnaces, cooling towers and a lake.

It’s one of the most popular weekend spots on RedNote for photos and walks, and it rarely feels as crowded as the old city.

Take Metro Line 11 or a DiDi; allow half a day.
