On September 23, the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou will kick off. At this moment, Hangzhou is attracting the attention of the world. For this Asian Games, more than 12,000 athletes from all 45 Olympic Council of Asia members in Asia have registered, and many delegations have sent the largest teams in history, including six delegations from China, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, India, and Hong Kong, China. With more than 600 athletes signing up, plus technical officials, media reporters, etc., the total number of people attending the Hangzhou Asian Games will reach more than 30,000, setting a new record for the Asian Games. This is also the third time that a Chinese city has hosted the Asian Games. Is Hangzhou ready?
In Hangzhou in early autumn, the temperature does not drop. Even hotter than the temperature is people’s enthusiasm for the Asian Games. Hangzhou is preparing to show her most beautiful appearance to the world; the people of Hangzhou are also preparing and looking forward to it.
There is a saying in Hangzhou that “the West Lake is responsible for beauty and flowers, and the canal is responsible for making money and supporting the family.” If the beautiful West Lake represents the dignity of Hangzhou, then the Grand Canal connecting the north and the south supported Hangzhou’s money bag. Today, transportation is no longer the main function of the canal, but it is still one of the favorite places for Hangzhou people to visit.
Yu Ying is a native of Hangzhou. She joined the local volunteer team a few years ago and engages in public welfare services. During the Asian Games, she will serve as a city-side volunteer and do her part for the smooth hosting of the Asian Games. Yu Ying also hopes that through her services, more people can learn about the history and culture of her hometown.
In the museums around Gongchen Bridge, many inheritors of intangible cultural heritage handicrafts use their works to express their expectations and support for the Asian Games. Among them, the “Jiangnan Yi” combination of three mascots is naturally the favorite of the creators.
In addition to representing the history and culture of Hangzhou, another major feature of the three mascots is their robot shape, which also reminds people that Hangzhou is still a modern “Internet City”. In recent years, Hangzhou has developed rapidly in the field of Internet technology and is also one of the core cities for e-commerce in China. In ancient times, the Grand Canal connected transportation between the north and the south. Nowadays, Hangzhou, an Internet city, also promotes people’s interconnection. This blend of ancient and modern has also brought a unique temperament to the Hangzhou Asian Games.
For example, the names and shapes of the medals “Hushan” and the torch “Xinhuo” have a strong cultural flavor; the “Cloud Asian Games” one-stop service, and the “digital torch bearers” lighting with hundreds of millions of people participating online The activities reflect Hangzhou’s innovation in digital and intelligent development in recent years.
Yu Ying, a city volunteer for the Hangzhou Asian Games:In the process of volunteer service, we will use an APP like ‘Report Now’ to speed up the work efficiency of volunteers and superiors’ overall arrangements. We can solve problems as quickly as possible through intelligent service software. Hangzhou is not only rich in history and culture, but also a city with a modern side. I also hope that friends who come to Hangzhou can enjoy the Asian Games and feel the uniqueness of Hangzhou.
The temperament of Hangzhou that blends ancient and modern times is also reflected in the competition venues of this Asian Games. The Canal Sports Park, located next to the canal, is a comprehensive sports facility integrating gymnasiums, stadiums, parks and commercial facilities. It will host Asian Games table tennis, break dancing and hockey competitions. The design inspiration of the venue is the same as the mascot Cong Cong, which comes from the shape of the jade cong in Liangzhu culture. The facilities of the venue embody greenness and intelligence everywhere.
Feng Jing, director of Hangzhou Asian Games Canal Sports Park:The Asian Games Sports Park is built according to green and environmental protection functions, and is also the first green three-star sports stadium building in Zhejiang Province. The exterior of the gymnasium is made of anodized aluminum, which has a self-cleaning function on rainy days, eliminating the need for manual cleaning of the exterior. Permeable concrete has a very good water seepage function on rainy days. Combined with our artificial lake, it can feed back the grass on sunny days, achieving the standard specifications of a sponge city.
Not only is there technological content in the construction process, but the venue also reflects ingenuity in the design of some details.
Feng Jing, director of Hangzhou Asian Games Canal Sports Park:Because the table tennis project has strict requirements on wind speed, our air-conditioning blowers are under each seat, and the air-conditioning air outlet speed is controlled at 0.2 meters/second. This not only controls the entire wind speed, but also the entire system is distributed, which can achieve energy saving. . If there are no spectators in this area, the air conditioning in this area does not need to be activated, so as to achieve energy saving.
The Hangzhou Asian Games has a total of 56 competition venues, located in Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Huzhou, Shaoxing, Jinhua and other places. The construction of the venues adheres to the “green, smart, frugal and civilized” concept of the Asian Games. It not only uses a large number of green and smart technical means, but also ensures that it meets the requirements of the event. The venues will not be built if they can be renovated, and Serve the people after the game.
The Hangzhou Asian Games Village consists of the Athletes Village, the Technical Officials Village, and the Media Village. It is the largest Asian Games Village in history. During the Asian Games, more than 20,000 athletes, team officials, technical officials and media personnel will be provided with a full range of services including accommodation, catering, transportation, culture, technology, medical care, and commerce.
After arriving at the Asian Games Village, delegations from various countries will attend a welcome ceremony and watch cultural performances with Chinese characteristics. They will raise their country’s flag and play their national anthem in the Asian Games Village, allowing everyone to feel the national honor and competition atmosphere from this moment on.
Under the care of the volunteers and staff of the Asian Games Village, the athletes adjusted their competitive status while also feeling the enthusiasm and characteristics of Hangzhou. Many of them started to know Hangzhou and China from the Asian Games Village. The smart interactive experience project teaches athletes to learn simple Chinese and understand the recipes of Chinese food; the fully automatic stamp engraving machine allows them to collect their favorite Chinese; and the smart badge exchange station allows athletes to exchange badges while Participate in green and low-carbon actions.
Asian Games Village staff member Wu Yihan:The badge exchange center building itself is made of low-carbon materials, and badges made of low-carbon materials are also produced. These badges are exchanged for athletes. Therefore, every time a badge exchange is completed here, it is actually an initiative to promote the low-carbon concept.
The comfortable and considerate services in the Asian Games Village allow athletes to adjust to their condition as quickly as possible. Soon they will be on the court, fighting for honor and dreams, and at the same time enjoying every experience and feeling of the Asian Games.
The Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium is like a big lotus. Its design inspiration, like the lotus among the three mascots, comes from the water lilies in the West Lake. One day later, the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games will be held here. Let us look forward to Hangzhou, the Asian Games, and everyone participating in the Asian Games to bloom like a lotus during this journey.
Tomorrow night at 8 o’clock, the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games will be officially held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium. Before the opening, some competitions have already started in advance, such as football, volleyball, table tennis and rowing. This Asian Games has 40 major events, 61 sub-events, and 481 minor events. The wind came from the east and swept over Asia. Let us pay attention to the touching moments of concentration and energy at the Asian Games, and witness together China, Asia and the world in the new era, working together for a win-win situation and heading towards the future together.
