Three Beijing Winter Olympic villages in and around Beijing pre-opened to various national delegations on Sunday
The first arrivals were the delegations from over 20 countries and regions including China, the UK, Australia, Canada, Finland and the US
The delegates first went through a security check and then attended registration meetings with Games staff to arrange accommodation,
access rights and supplies they might need
Some delegates will be staying in the Olympic village in Beijing
While others will head to Zhangjiakou some 190 kilometers (120 miles)
northwest of the capital and Yanqing, around 90 kilometers (56 miles) northwest
The Olympic villages will officially open on Thursday when larger teams are set to arrive
Meanwhile, splendid fireworks lighted up Beijing sky on Saturday
Rehearsals for the opening ceremony of Beijing 2022 were held at
the ‘Bird Nest’, or the National Stadium which once held the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics
Performers practiced dance routines, with participants ranging in ages from 5-years-old to over 70-years-old
The ceremony will be held on 4 February, which coincides with the ‘Beginning of Spring’ the first of 24 Chinese solar terms
Zhang Yimou, who directed the awe-inspiring opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Beijing in 2008 is returning in the same role for the 2022 Games
And the ceremony for Beijing 2022 is shortened to about 100 minutes due to cold weather and COVID-19
