Nicknamed "Snow Ruyi", the National Ski Jumping Center resembles the shape of a "Ruyi", a traditional Chinese ornament symbolizing good luck, and hosted ski jumping and Nordic combined events during the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Since its renovation and upgrading since the last snow season, the Snow Ruyi now has facilities capable of hosting sports events, conferences, exhibitions and study tours.
