Experience the "Chengdu Flavor" of the Universiade (Jintai Essay) Sports Games | Chengdu | Universiade
There are many ways to understand a city, and decoding the charm of Chengdu from the perspective of the World University Summer Games has undoubtedly become a choice for many people this summer. When the opening ceremony with a high content of national treasures boiled the night of Chengdu, when the mascot Rongbao's cute "explosive watch" attracted attention, and when the sweat on the field collided with the excitement next to hot pot, Chengdu attracted attention with its successful hosting of this international sports event. On August 8th, the Chengdu Universiade closed, and the radiance of youth and hard work still shone in people's hearts. The enthusiasm for achieving dreams is still surging in this city.
If food is the beginning of understanding a city, then lingering flavors are the key to understanding a city. Chengdu is located in the "Land of Abundance" and is full of "human markets". Embark on a unique journey of exploration for the Universiade in Chengdu, where everyone can find their preferred "Chengdu flavor".
The spiciness in the taste is a simple and hospitable style. The spiciness of Sichuan cuisine has created a famous Chengdu snack and nurtured the passion and fiery personality of Chengdu people. From cheering and cheering for athletes, to handwritten letters prepared by Chengdu students for Chinese and foreign journalists, and to folk songs sung by all the audience during breaks in the competition... Such "Chengdu warmth" not only appears in competition venues and media centers, but also spreads to every corner of the city.
Walking into the streets and alleys, whether it's the ride hailing service with the slogan "Welcome to Chengdu" posted on the street, or the enthusiastic operators in restaurants, whether it's greetings with Sichuan accents or sincere and kind smiles, the most heartwarming and touching.
The fresh fragrance in the taste is the vibrant power of youth. Sichuan cuisine begins with spiciness and ends with freshness and fragrance, just as the Universiade is not only for competitive purposes, but also for young people to have the opportunity to stand on a shining stage. In the name of youth, we embark on the promise of the Universiade. The holy flame ignites not only the passion for sports, but also the dreams and strength of youth.
6500 athletes from 113 countries and regions participating in this year's Universiade are all doing their best on the field. Both the Fiji delegation and the Liechtenstein delegation have only one participating team member, and even if they work alone, they must keep moving forward. Chengdu provides a stage for young people to realize their dreams, and young people themselves have become an integral element of a vibrant Chengdu. In this sense, achieving dreams in Chengdu is a two-way journey between Chengdu and young people.
The sweet and glutinous taste presents a unique and continuous cultural context. From the sweet and greasy fruits, to the glutinous rice balls, to the "hot pot companion" ice skating powder, which is almost a must to order at the table, the "Chengdu flavor" is rich and diverse, just like the Chengdu culture, which blends and collides between tradition and modern, old and new, local and international.
The "Sun Bird" in the emblem of the Chengdu Universiade has made the world aware of the ancient Shu civilization; Competition music such as "Auspicious Heavenly Drum" and "Kangding Love Song" give the Chinese team, which has won the collective all-around championship in artistic gymnastics, a unique charm. When traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment services such as tuina, massage, and cupping have become the "mysterious Eastern power" passed down by word of mouth in the Dayun Village, and when foreign athletes immerse themselves in Chengdu nightlife by eating skewers and dancing square dances, the charm of Sichuan, ethnic style, and Chinese flavor - this is also the "Chinese style romance" presented by the Chengdu Universiade to the world.
It's not just Chengdu. The complex seasoning of hot pot, the stir fried dishes cooked with northern and southern ingredients, and the unconventional noodles bring together a variety of flavors, creating famous cities on the land of China and creating a memorable "Chinese impression" with thousands of people and flavors.
