The torch platforms of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics are located in the National Stadium (Olympic Center), Yanqing District, Beijing, and Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province. And the overall shape was designed by the Academy of Fine Arts, Tsinghua University.

On the basis of the main torch of the opening ceremony, fully integrating the requirements of art and engineering technology, the perfect fusion of oriental traditional culture and modern technology embodies the Winter Olympics concept of "simplicity, safety and splendor". Olive branches and romantic ice and snow elements interpreted purity,peace,unity and friendship.  With the help of the ROLEDS LED floodlights of Matrix, the ice crystals were shiny,light and elegant which has become one of the highlights of the Winter Olympics.

The torch stage is composed of "silver ribbon", olive branch snowflake graphic and base turntable, with a total height of about 11 meters and a base table diameter of about 20 meters.The big olive branch snowflake is composed of more than 90 small snowflakes, one snowflake represents a participating country, among them, a stainless steel base with a height of 1.3 meters and an outer diameter of 21.5 meters is added to the lower part of the base of the torch platform in the Olympic central area.

The large olive branch snowflakes are presented in the form of a fixed central axis under the support of silver ribbons, and then through 360° mechanical rotation to present a dynamic and beautiful effect, echoing the spirit of the Winter Olympics.
