SHIJIAZHUANG－The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics skiing venue of Chongli, North China's Hebei province, is seeing a hotel boom, attracting international high-end hotel brands, such as InterContinental, Four Seasons, Sheraton and Banyan Tree.

The mountainous district in Zhangjiakou city will be dotted by a total of 21 high-end hotels－including nine five-star and 12 four-star properties－by 2022, according to the Chongli district administrative examination and approval bureau.
