Chengdu Universiade | Reporter's note: When the lush green meets the hot and vibrant green | Chengdu | Universiade
Chengdu, July 27th (Xinhua) - At the end of July, Chengdu was drizzling with light rain. Looking through the warm air, besides the gray of towering buildings, there were also two impressive colors: green and red.
It seems that all the dishes need to be adorned with some red to be served on the dining table in Chengdu: hot pot with a red soup base, red oil rice dumplings, and various types of noodles and noodles, no need to ask, red soup! The restaurant owner's Chengdu dialect sounds crisp and crisp, as if it still carries rhythm, and after a meal, it feels very comfortable.
Even aromatherapy is in the shape of chili peppers. When I first saw it, I was very surprised, but when I thought about it, it was in Chengdu!

The enthusiastic volunteers also immediately made people feel that this city is as passionate as fire. The shuttle bus will be waiting outside the airport on time, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I took a flight to Chengdu and before boarding, I received a call from the volunteer to confirm the arrival information.
"Welcome to Chengdu," a smiling volunteer waved his hand from a distance. "Hello, do you need any help?" "Please be careful of the steps." "You're welcome, I hope everything goes smoothly in Chengdu." From the hotel to the main media center and then to the venue, volunteers in white clothes are enthusiastic and proactive, shining with the warm feeling conveyed by the red color blocks of the Universiade emblem.
The volunteers who convey this passion are those who are in the prime of their youth. During the Chengdu Universiade, 20000 volunteers from 35 universities in Chengdu will participate in volunteer services for the event at competition venues, Universiade villages, main media centers, technical officer residences, airport stations, reception hotels, and other venues.
In the city, Chengdu Universiade elements and landscape signs can be seen everywhere. The emerald green gradient color blocks in the emblem are so tender that they seem to pinch water, just like this humid air, more like this millennium old city with unique youthful vitality.
As more and more young people gather here, the brilliance of hard work and struggle blooms, bursting with vigorous and upward vitality. According to the seventh national population census data, there are 9.636 million young people aged 14 to 45 in Chengdu, accounting for 45.87% of the permanent population.
"I think I am emerald green because emerald represents vitality and hope." Fan Ye comes from Chengdu Vocational and Technical College of Industry and provides media interviews with other volunteers at the water polo competition venue of the Chengdu University Games. As an authentic Chengdu native, she hopes that people from all over the world can feel the passion and vitality of Chengdu.

Whether it's the lush greenery of over 1500 parks across the city, or the red and hot hotpot seen everywhere on the roadside, whether it's the vitality or enthusiasm of young people, they all make a profound impression on people when they first see Chengdu.
On July 28th, the Chengdu Universiade will open, and this "Universiade City" will showcase more brilliant colors to the world.
