BEIJING Marquis Haynes Jersey , May 10 (Xinhua) -- Snow will not be a concern for Beijing and Chongli County to host snow sports if the 2022 Winter Olympics lands on China.


It surprisingly snowed in Chongli and Beijing on Friday as Beijing's average temperature in May is between 14 to 26 degrees centigrade.


Liu Jianjun, who has been working in Chongli's weather bureau for three decades, said the Chongli's ski season lasts over 150 days from the end of October to the next April.


"The total annual snowfall here can reach more than one meter," said Liu. "Chongli has a high forest coverage and an excellent ecological environment, which is beneficial for snow storage."


The average winter temperature in Chongli is minus 12 degrees centigrade, well above the requirement of the Winter Olympics held at no lower than minus 18 during the snow season in April, and the average wind speed measures in scale 2.


The mountain altitude in Chongli ranges from 814 meters to 2,174 meters, suitable for skiing events as the slope degrees are mostly between 5 to 35.


Chongli, a small county in northwest Hebei province, has been listed as venues of snow events in Beijing's joint bid with Zhangjiakou for the 2022 Games.


If Beijing and Zhangjiakou can win the Olympics bid, Chongli will play host to events like ski jumping, snowboarding, freestyle skiing, cross country skiing, Nordic combined and biathlon.


Yet another celebrity has passed away in 2016. This time it is Pan Pan, the world's oldest male panda, who died at 31 in southwest China's Sichuan Province Wednesday morning.


Pan Pan passed at 4:50 a.m. An autopsy is being carried out to find the cause of his death, though the circumstances are not thought to be suspicious.


"Pan Pan was the equivalent to about 100 human years, but he had been living with cancer and his health had deteriorated in the past three days," Tan Chengbin, a keeper with the Dujiangyan base of the China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Panda, told Xinhua. "He had lost consciousness."

Though born in the wild in Sichuan's Baoxing County in 1985, Pan Pan lived in captivity from just a few months old.


"Panda grandpa," as he became known, was diagnosed with cancer in June this year, and also suffered from common old-age conditions, such as cataracts and poor teeth.


A Xinhua reporter who last saw him on Dec. 21 said he was in a "nursing home" for elderly pandas, and though he was very thin he was keeping in good spirits.


"When the keeper called his name and offered him food, usually steamed corn bread or fresh bamboo leaves, he was able to respond and move out to have dinner," the reporter said.


Pandas are notoriously difficult to breed, but Pan Pan lived a particularly active life for a panda and fathered many cubs over the past 20 years. He has more than 130 descendants, accounting for 25 percent of the world's captively bred panda population.


The average lifespan of wild pandas is normally 20 years, but those in captivity usually live longer.


Pan Pan, which means "expectation" in Chinese, was also name of the mascot for the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, though the mascot was not modeled on "panda grandpa" but on a 36-year-old female panda Basi, currently the oldest panda in the world.


Giant pandas are one of the world's most endangered species. Fewer than 2,000 pandas live in the wild, mostly in the provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi. At the end of 2013 China had 1,864 giant pandas in the wild. There are also 422 in captivity, China's State Forestry Administration said.


Pan Pan is survived by numerous descendants.


GUANGZHOU Evergrande got the point it wanted and a berth in the AFC Champions League playoffs by drawing with Suwon Samsung Bluewings 2-2 at home yesterday.


Guangzhou, which has won two of the last four continental championships and the last six Chinese Super League titles, needed a point to progress to the last 16 but had to work hard against the South Korean side, another former two-time champion, in Group G.


Yeom Ki-hun put Suwon ahead after eight minutes but nine minutes later, Robert Goulart, signed for around US$18 million in 2015, fired home from outside the area.


Goulart headed in a second midway through the second half and Guangzhou held on after Kim Jung-woo equalized for Suwon, which was eliminated.


Kawasaki Frontale of Japan took top spot above Guangzhou by routing Eastern SC of China’s Hong Kong 4-0. Both Kawasaki and Guangzhou ended up with 10 points, with Suwon on 9 and Eastern just 1.


In Group G, Adelaide United, Australia’s only hope of a representative in the last 16, was eliminated when Ji Xiang scored the only goal with nine minutes left for the already-qualified Jiangsu Suning to win 1-0.


Jiangsu, which topped the group, left its overseas stars Brazil’s Alex Teixeira and Colombian Roger Martinez at home and was also without suspended Brazilian international Ramires.


Jeju United of South Korea joined Jiangsu in the second round with a comfortable wi.
