During the conference, delegations will also visit a number of competition venues such as Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center, Zhejiang Huanglong Sports Center, Hangzhou E-sports Center in China, as well as non-competition venues such as Asian Games Village and Asian Games Museum, to fully understand the supporting facilities and venue conditions of each venue.

It is reported that the organizing committee organizes and convenes the delegation heads meeting before the competition, which is the preparation practice of large-scale international sports events, and it is also an important exchange platform between the host city and the participating delegations. In September 2021, the Hangzhou Asian Games delegation heads meeting was held online. The offline delegation leaders conference will help the Hangzhou Asian Organizing Committee to further communicate with the delegation face-to-face, understand the needs of participation, improve the level of hosting the competition, and actively display the image of Hangzhou's hospitable and vibrant host city.
