The theme park of Asian flowers with more than 200 varieties was opened in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province; According to legend, the torch of the Hangzhou Asian Games was passed enthusiastically in 11 cities in Zhejiang; Food materials have been warehoused, food and beverage security has been well prepared... With the intensive preparations, the Hangzhou Asian Games has entered the countdown to the opening, and all aspects have tried their best to polish the details of the event, and improve the service level. From venue operation and maintenance to service guarantee, from cultural exchange to urban atmosphere building, Hangzhou will greet visitors from all over the world with a full and spirited attitude.

Following the 1990 Beijing Asian Games and 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, the Asian Games torch was lit in China for the third time. In the past 33 years, the Asian Games have witnessed the vigorous development of China's sports industry, and also recorded China's firm and powerful pace of progress. Since the successful bid for the Asian Games, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Jinhua, Shaoxing and Huzhou, the five co host cities, have adhered to the concept of "green, intelligent, thrifty and civilized", and are committed to presenting an Asian Games event with "Chinese characteristics, Asian style, and brilliant".

This will be a green event, and the concept of green development will bear fruitful results. All the Asian Games venues and office sites use green electricity to help build the first carbon neutral Asian Games in the history of the Asian Games. Cables are woven into a network to deliver green power thousands of miles away to the Asian Games host; Electric vehicles shuttle busily on the streets, helping to create a new trend of green travel; The Asian Games venues are well designed to reduce energy consumption and achieve sustainable utilization by means of technology. The "Green Asian Games" is a great power that protects the ecological environment and protects the human homeland.

This will be an intelligent event, and scientific and technological innovation will be reflected in all aspects inside and outside the stadium. Entering the digital intelligence management center of the Asian Games located in Binjiang District of Hangzhou, the energy consumption, real-time status, pedestrian flow, vehicle flow and other information of the venue are clear at a glance; On the external road of Shaoxing Baseball (Baseball) Sports Cultural Center, the self driving bus decorated with Asian Games elements awaits the audience... Thanks to the application of more scientific and technological means, the venue management of Hangzhou Asian Games will be more refined, the service guarantee will be comprehensively upgraded, and the audience will also get a better experience of watching the games.

This will be a festival of thrift. "Simplicity but not simplicity" is the pursuit, but also the action. The vast majority of venues for the Hangzhou Asian Games were rebuilt, and only a small part of them were newly built. For example, the squash venue for the Asian Games was temporarily rebuilt from the exhibition hall of Hangzhou International Expo Center. The LED screens, audience seats, fire equipment, etc. in the venue were rented. After the competition, the venue can be demolished in the shortest time to restore the original functions of the exhibition hall. To run the meeting frugally does not mean to give up innovation and lower standards, but to spend less, do more and do good things, and adhere to the principle of "good steel is used in the cutting edge".

This will be a grand event of civilization, and the city of the Asian Games will add new civilized scenery. The city is full of "Asian Games" and "civilization". Deeply carry out the three major promotion actions of "urban quality, urban governance and urban civilization" to welcome the Asian Games, and hold more than 10000 related activities; About 10000 barrier free facilities and mother and baby rooms have been set up in 56 competition venues; Promote the new practice of provincial civilization, cultivate urban culture, improve urban quality... comprehensively improve the city image, urban environment, urban style, activate the sense of ownership of every citizen, make "everyone is a waiter, everyone is a volunteer" become a common practice, and "embroider" a new style of civilization in fine carving.

More than 12000 athletes from delegations from 45 countries and regions in Asia gathered along the Qiantang River to participate in this sports event. "We have a home together, our hearts are in harmony and love is added together, and we can't separate ourselves from the world. Hundreds of millions of proud voices converge into one sentence, you and I live in Asia." As the theme song "Love Together" sings, the Hangzhou Asian Games is becoming an important opportunity to create a better future for Asia and the world. With sports as the carrier, tell Chinese stories and spread Chinese voices. The Hangzhou Asian Games, which is "heart to heart, love to reach the future", will make valuable contributions to building a community with a shared future for mankind.
