The Olympic Village, which combines shadow puppets and snow sports, is illuminated by a system of lamps with an ice and snow theme, catching visitors' attention.

Wang Xi, a fifth-generation Wulian shadow puppet inheritor, designed the shadow puppet lamp and has mastered high-level shadow puppet production and performance skills.

The Wulian shadow puppet is a county-level intangible cultural heritage item, and has a history of more than a hundred years.
