Hangzhou Asian Games venues will gradually open to benefit the people

  Although the Hangzhou Asian Games has been postponed, the atmosphere of the Asian Games has not weakened in the slightest, and Hangzhou people's desire for sports will not be "postponed".

Recently, the Asian Games competition venue of Zhejiang Huanglong Sports Center was opened to the public to benefit the people, allowing the public to share the dividends of the Asian Games.

The reporter also learned from the Hangzhou Asian Organizing Committee that the 56 competition venues and 31 training venues that have been fully completed and passed the functional acceptance of the event will be opened one after another from July 1 this year.

  Founded in 2000, Zhejiang Huanglong Sports Center is an important urban landmark building in Hangzhou, consisting of a stadium, a gymnasium, and a swimming and diving hall.

In the memory of every old Hangzhou person, when it is mentioned, everyone will immediately think of the orange-red cable-stayed north and south towers.

In January 2020, this venue, which has been lively for 20 years, began a comprehensive upgrade and renovation to serve the Hangzhou Asian Games.

According to the plan, during the Hangzhou Asian Games, there will be football, gymnastics (competitive gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline) and water polo in three categories and five competitions, as well as track and field events of the Asian Paralympic Games.

  After nearly two years of renovation and upgrading, the venues of Huanglong Sports Center will be completed and accepted in the second half of 2021.

  Since the announcement of the postponement of the Hangzhou Asian Games, Zhejiang Huanglong Sports Center has actively planned the opening of the Asian Games competition venues for the benefit of the people, and planned to "open the door to welcome guests" in advance to provide sports enthusiasts with "Asian Games Sports Packages", so that the masses can share the Asian Games dividends.

Starting in mid-May, the two Asian Games competition venues, the basketball hall and the squash hall, were officially opened to the public. This move not only provides sports fans with a sports feast, but also allows sports fans to experience the passion of the Asian Games in advance.

  Mr. Tian, ​​a Hangzhou citizen who was the first to experience the Asian Games venues, immediately booked the venue after learning that the Asian Games venues would open in advance. Recently, he has been practicing tennis in the indoor training hall of the Huanglong Sports Center.

Citizen Mr. Qiu also came to try the basketball court while he was on vacation.

Mr. Qiu said: "The stadium is very new, and it feels very good to play. Compared with before the renovation, the atmosphere of sports is stronger, and the experience is also very good."

  According to Zhou Weiwei, a staff member of the operation department of the venue, the Asian Games venue in the Huanglong Sports Center was briefly open to the public for two months from February 16, and then closed from April 14 to prepare for the Asian Games test match.

After the postponement of the Asian Games, the "preemptive opening" of the Asian Games venues has been achieved, so that the citizens can also share the Asian Games dividends in advance.

"On the first day of opening, the venue at 6 p.m. was already booked out." The popularity was far beyond Zhou Weiwei's expectations.

  Zhou Weiwei suggested that citizens who come to exercise can make an appointment in advance on the "Dynamic Yellow Dragon" applet.

One is because it is more convenient, which is conducive to epidemic prevention and control; the other is to prevent sports enthusiasts from running in vain.

  The reporter also learned that the "air track" of the Huanglong Sports Center, which attracts road runners in Hangzhou, will also be fully opened to the public next month.

  The "air runway" is 1,000 meters long and surrounds the Huanglong Sports Center Stadium in mid-air. The runway is 3.1 meters wide. There are two paths for walking and running. It adopts domestic advanced prefabricated plastic runway materials, and the overall design is undulating waves. The shape, with uphill and downhill running, adds more fun.

  In addition to its high appearance, this runway also has many intelligent designs.

There is a display screen at each of the four entrances and exits of the runway.

You only need to scan the code with your mobile phone and perform face recognition, and the cameras all over the runway can always capture you while you are running.

After running, stay in front of the big screen, and after identification, you can display data such as your movement track, running speed, physical fitness, ranking list, etc.

  At present, it has been preliminarily finalized that the "air runway" will be opened to the public in early June, and citizens who like to run can check in to experience it.

  In addition, the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee has conducted a special study on the theme of "Asian Games venues open to the public".

The 56 Asian Games competition venues will be gradually opened, allowing the sports enthusiasts in Zhejiang to experience the venues where the Asian Games athletes compete for gold and silver.
