The Guangxi Disabled Persons' Federation has been holding a variety of sports events for people with disabilities in recent years to provide them enriching sports experiences. It has been devoting great efforts to promoting winter sports that can adapt to the geographical characteristics in South China.

Of note, this year's winter event series will last until the end of March, with other activities like knowledge competitions, as well as online and on-site lectures will be available.
