Beijing Shooting Range

　　Beijing Shooting Range is located at the foot of the Western Hills. With its beautiful environment and fresh air, it serves as the training and competition base for both the Chinese Shooting Team and the Chinese Archery Team. In order to combine competitive sports with public fitness, the range has successively established the Shooter Entertainment City and the Archery Amusement Park. To meet the public’s interest in shooting and archery and provide them an opportunity to give it a try, these two entertainment venues offer a variety of activities tailored to different participant needs. For those who have never held a gun or drawn a bow, or are beginners just getting into the sport, there's no need to feel constrained—sometimes, participation matters as much as competition. After a busy and stressful week, coming here to experience “live ammunition” shooting or archery is a supremely relaxing and enjoyable activity. The Shooter Entertainment City and the Archery Amusement Park operate every day, including holidays, and provide services all day long.

　　Beijing Shooting Range is situated at Futian Temple in the western suburbs of Beijing, nestled at the foot of the scenic Cuiwei Mountain. It offers fresh air and an elegant, tranquil environment, providing a peaceful retreat amid the hustle and bustle.

　　The main shooting hall of Beijing Shooting Range covers a construction area of 3,187 square meters, with two levels. The lower level is the competition hall, featuring 96 shooting positions; the upper level includes a grandstand that can accommodate 800 spectators, as well as rest areas for coaches and athletes.

　　The Beijing Shooting Hotel here is a one-star international hotel affiliated with the Shooting and Archery Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sport of China. The hotel has undergone comprehensive renovation and now presents a completely renewed look. It offers 94 guest rooms of various specifications, all fully equipped and reasonably priced. The restaurant can serve 200 diners, and there are also large, medium, and small meeting rooms, a merchandise shop, a karaoke lounge, beauty salon, fitness center, and the Shooter Entertainment City, among other recreational facilities. It is an ideal venue integrating leisure, tourism, and conferences. Guests will enjoy warm and thoughtful service, delicious food, and sincere hospitality, ensuring an ideal and dedicated service experience for both domestic and international visitors.

　　Beijing Shooting Range is located near Badachu in the Western Hills Scenic Area in the western suburbs of Beijing. Established in 1955, it frequently hosts international and national shooting competitions and has trained numerous Olympic gold medalists. The shooting events of the 1990 Asian Games were also held here.

　　Beijing Shooting Range will continue to serve as a competition venue for the 2008 Olympics. Therefore, the Beijing municipal government will expand the existing site and construct new indoor pistol and rifle shooting ranges, as well as a central administrative building. The buildings will be constructed using environmentally friendly and recyclable materials, incorporating solar power generation, water recycling systems, natural lighting, and advanced electronic communication systems. These upgrades will breathe new life into this historic shooting range.

　　The construction of the new indoor shooting range and the administrative center is scheduled to begin in March 2005 and to be completed by December 2006, with an estimated construction budget of $37.91 million. Additionally, $4.4 million will be allocated to renovate the skeet shooting range to ensure all facilities meet the standards required for future Olympic Games.

　　Beijing Shooting Range is 19 kilometers from the Olympic Village and will be directly connected via a highway, allowing a 20-minute drive to reach the venue. The finals spectator stands will have 2,500 fixed seats, the qualification event venue can accommodate 6,500 people, and the outdoor skeet field can temporarily set up seating for 5,000 spectators.
