Asian Games, Opening 5 Days Away... Preparing for the First Festival in Five Years in a Calm Atmosphere
The opening of the 19th Hangzhou Summer Asian Games, which was postponed for a year due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in China, is only five days away.
On the 18th, five days before the start of Asia's largest sports festival, countdown signs announcing the opening of the competition were displayed throughout downtown Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, China, and large hanging signs in Chinese and English bearing the meaning of the competition's slogan, "When hearts connect, the future opens." was hung to brighten the mood. 카지노사이트탑
The Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee has opened an Asian Games-only lane on the highway leading from Hangzhou Airport to downtown Hangzhou and the roads in downtown Hangzhou, and is focusing its efforts on the rapid transportation of participants.
China is hosting the Summer Asian Games for the third time, following Beijing in 1990 and Guangzhou in 2010.
If you combine the 1996 Harbin and 2007 Changchun Winter Asian Games, this will be the 5th time that the Winter and Summer Asian Games will be held.
The 2025 Winter Asian Games will also be held again in Harbin for the first time in 29 years.
China developed its capacity to host international competitions through the Asian Games, and hosted the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics in succession, showing off to the world its national power that has grown into one of the world's 'big two'.
According to data published by the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) early this year, Zhejiang Province, where Hangzhou belongs, ranked 4th in the 2022 gross domestic product (GDP) ranking of China's 31 local governments, following Guangdong Province, Jiangsu Province, and Shandong Province, making it a relatively wealthy province. It is considered a malfunction.
The headquarters of the world's largest online shopping mall, Alibaba, is located in Hangzhou, and the forest of high-rise buildings that fill Hangzhou's vast land represents China's development from a manufacturing-centered 'factory of the world' to the headquarters of the information technology (IT) industry. .
Perhaps that is why the Chinese people, who seemed excited at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2010 Guangzhou Summer Asian Games, which continued the lingering emotion and emotion of the Olympics to the rest of the world, announcing China's dream that had been cherished for 100 years, also became calmer as the river and mountain changed.
There is a sense of pride in having successfully hosted two Olympic Games, as well as a sense of leisure in hosting the Asian Games for the fifth time in China alone, including the winter and summer seasons.
However, even though the competition is just around the corner, you can feel the Chinese’s unique ‘manmandi’ (relaxed and relaxed attitude).
The schedule of shuttle buses connecting each stadium and the Main Media Center (MMC), a space where reporters from various Asian countries work, is still inconsistent.
Unlike past comprehensive competitions where training schedules and locations for each event were disclosed before the opening of the competition, this time, such a system has not been established, so inquiries must be made separately.
It is also difficult to find the official village welcome ceremony for each country in which each country's flag is raised at the flag plaza of the athletes' village to strengthen the athlete's will to participate in the schedule released to the media.
