With venues ready, volunteers recruited and testing events underway, Harbin is nearly ready to take up its hosting duties for the 9th Asian Winter Games, with preparatory work almost done entering the 100-day countdown.

As a traditional hot spot for ice and snow sports activities in Northeast China, Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province, is pushing ahead with preparations for the 2025 edition of the Games, with full confidence that the continental gala event will be a resounding success in promoting sports and culture exchanges in the region.

With 100 days to go before the Feb 7 opening ceremony, all 13 existing competition venues for the Games — five for ice sports in downtown Harbin and another eight for snow events in Yabuli, a ski resort cluster 200 kilometers from Harbin — have been renovated and have updated equipment to meet international standards, with workers trained and ready to be deployed to each site, according to the organizing committee.

The national men's and under-18 women's ice hockey championships, which were held during the National Day holiday, were the first of 14 test events to be held in Harbin through January to optimize various venue operations, including capacity, facility function and spectator services.

Over 6,000 volunteers, mostly local college students, have been recruited from over 10,000 applicants, with a quarter of them having experience serving at international events such as the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and last year's Hangzhou Asian Games, according to organizers.

The 2025 Harbin Asian Winter Games will mark the biggest representation of Asian countries and regions, with 34 National Olympic Committees — the most in the event's history — having confirmed their entries, including first-timers Cambodia and Saudi Arabia. Over 1,500 athletes are expected to participate.

A total of 64 medal events across six sports will be held from Feb 7 to 14. Among them, mixed doubles curling, ski mountaineering and synchronized aerials of freestyle skiing will make their debut at the Games.

Meanwhile, many Southeast Asian countries and regions, including Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, have signed up for the alpine skiing competition, which will have more participants than any other event in Harbin's program, underlining winter sports' expanding landscape on the continent.

It will be Harbin's second time staging the continental gala since it hosted in 1996, and the third edition to be held in China after the 2007 edition in Changchun, Jilin province.

Boasting ready-made facilities and abundant experience in winter sports promotion, Harbin is confident it can deliver a memorable edition of the Games with strong Chinese characteristics and Asian style, organizers said.

"With full support from the government, the public and all shareholders, we've moved into the home stretch of preparations," Han Shengjian, vice-governor of Heilongjiang and vice-president of the Harbin organizing committee, said during a news conference on Tuesday. "We are committed to hosting a world-class event representing Asian spirit and Chinese style to promote winter sports across Asia, as well as the unique charm of Harbin as a generous host."

Already a popular winter holiday destination in the country, Harbin is keen on taking advantage of the Games to make the city more appealing to winter sports fans and foreign tourists, according to Wang Hesheng, mayor of Harbin and secretary-general of the organizing committee.

To help boost tourism in the city, a new metro line will be launched at the end of this month in Harbin, and a newly built second runway at the city's airport will open in January. In addition, more frequent high-speed railway services connecting mountain resorts in Yabuli with downtown Harbin and other major cities are coming in the near future.

"Hopefully after hosting the Games, Harbin will make its name as a winter wonderland more prominent, not just in our country, but also across Asia," Wang said.
