Residents of Taizicheng village in Zhangjiakou City in northern China’s Hebei province, have always believed that the name of their village, meaning village of the crown prince, relates to the settlement's royal roots, according to the China Daily . Proving them right, archaeologists digging ahead of the construction of the Olympic village for housing athletes participating in the 2022 Winter Olympics discovered a 1202 AD summer palace from the Jin dynasty (or Jin Empire).
The Taizicheng Olympic village is 140 kilometers (87 miles) from Beijing, less than an hour by high-speed train. The city of Zhangjiakou is one of three zones hosting the 2022 Winter Olympics, along with central Beijing and the suburb of Yanqing. Taizicheng will be the site of the majority of ski and snowboarding events, reports Artnet.
