Su Yiming, who turned 18 on Friday, has won China's first Olympic gold in snowboarding.
The Wanda Getailing mountain park at the foot of Changbai Mountains in Jinlin is where Su had been training for three snow seasons, prior to attending the Winter Olympics.
Located at 41 to 43 degrees north latitude, the northeastern province of Jilin is endowed with excellent natural conditions for developing the ice and snow industry.
