In recent years, Yakeshi has leveraged its rich ice-and-snow resources to promote the theme of "Ice-and-Snow Campus, Flying Passion", incorporating more than 10 winter sports, including speed skating, ice sledding and snow football, into physical education classes and break-time activities. The city also regularly organizes campus snow sculpture creation, ice lantern making and fun ice-and-snow events to help students grow in a healthy and joyful environment.
