Border soldiers stationed at Bedel Pass in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region have daily exercise in an indoor gym.

The border station near Bedel Pass is at an elevation of 3,160 meters with big winds blowing across the year and heavy snows in chilly winter. 

In order to conduct daily exercise, the border station built a 600-square-meter indoor fitness center with all machines needed and heating systems to keep the temperature at 20 C.

Border soldiers now combine indoor and outdoor exercise to maintain physical fitness.
