Each room has a single bed with a pillow sporting the Olympic logo on one side and the Olympic mascot – a cartoon panda named “Bing Dwen Dwen – on the other. The pillow, which athletes can take home with them, unzips into a blanket printed with small logos of the Beijing Winter Olympics. 

The adjustable beds, which can be remotely controlled, are two meters long and can be extended to 2.2 to 2.4 meters long after adding a bed stool at the end. 

Hui Xiaofei, manager of the village’s facilities, said that each room is equipped with an air purifier and an independent air conditioner as part of the pandemic prevention and control measures.
