The curtains came down on the closing ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games Sunday night at Bird's Nest in Beijing. During the ceremony, many Chinese cultural elements were fused into the design of the grand show, expressing some Chinese romance. Let's take a look.

The closing ceremony began with a large snowflake torch appearing in the sky, echoing the moment from the opening ceremony.
