Building Ice Rinks in China
FROM THE ARTICLE:
"China only had 21 indoor ice rinks in 2003,
but the number increased to 59 by 2011 and soared
to 188 at the end of 2016.
The sport of ice skating got a boost from government
efforts to promote winter sports after Beijing won
the bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics in 2015.
According to a plan for 2016 to 2020, China
should have no less than 650 indoor ice rinks by
2022, of which at least 500 will be newly built."
