Fireworks in Chengdu Convey Cultural Charm, Universiade Observation | Youth Never Dies Park | Activity | Chengdu
On the evening of August 8th, the closing ceremony of the 31st Chengdu Summer Universiade was held at the Chengdu Outdoor Music Park. The hosting of the Chengdu Universiade has brought global attention to Chengdu, allowing the world to better understand Chengdu and China.
The cultural activities of the Chengdu Universiade Park held in Guixi Ecological Park have also come to a successful conclusion. During the 14 day event, the "Universiade Culture" visited the doorstep of citizens and the park of tourists, forming a "duet" of music and sports, allowing the world to see the park city under the snow capped mountains and the happy Chengdu amidst the fireworks, and feel the ubiquitous and ever-present sports culture and aesthetic of life.
Let the world see Chengdu
Reno Ed, Acting President of the International Federation of Sports Federations, stated in an interview that the Chengdu Universiade provides many young people with the opportunity to personally understand China. He learned that Chengdu was building a park city and, accompanied by staff, took a one hour walk in the park, experiencing the charm of the "Wizard of Oz" firsthand.
Guixi Ecological Park is one of the parks that Renault Ed has visited. On the first day of the cultural event held in the Chengdu Universiade Park, he and 30 members of the International Sports Federation Executive Committee spontaneously came to the scene to experience archery and basketball. "The format of the event was very good, allowing Chengdu citizens to learn more about the Chengdu Universiade and showcasing Chinese culture, allowing us to understand local history and Chinese wisdom. It was really great."
Outside of the competition, delegations from all over the world take to the streets of Chengdu, taste delicious food, visit parks, buy specialties, and experience the real fireworks of Chengdu. The cultural activities in the Chengdu Universiade Park have also attracted many foreign athletes to come and "check in". They listen to music and watch performances on the beautiful grassland, immersing themselves in the beautiful night of the park city. An athlete said, "The Chengdu Universiade is not just in the gymnasium, but also in the park cultural activities, where we feel a more vibrant and lively sports atmosphere."
At the event venue, the check-in area for Universiade events such as badminton, table tennis, and archery welcomes a constant stream of citizens and tourists every day. Children, while experiencing the project, also learn and understand the knowledge of the Universiade, enjoying themselves. "The atmosphere of the Universiade in Chengdu is particularly strong, and everyone is immersed in it in different ways and enjoys it," said Mr. Wang, a citizen. Every night, he runs by the Guixi Ecological Park and comes to watch performances and play games.
This summer, the mascot "Rongbao" became the absolute "top stream", attracting fans on site for various franchise products with the theme of "Rongbao". In the cross-border integration of sports and cultural creativity, the Chengdu Universiade has become a cultural element that can be seen, touched, and taken away, allowing the confession of "Chengdu achieving dreams" to start from "Chengdu" and spread far away.
In Chengdu, hearing the world
In Chengdu, enjoying music, it is worth mentioning that the cultural activities of the Chengdu Universiade Park and the 2023 International Friendship City Youth Music Week jointly held a special performance event. From August 5th to 7th, music teams from multiple countries and regions including Ecuador, Finland, Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Chile, the United States, South Korea, Japan, etc. brought exciting and diverse music experiences, cheering for the Universiade and sports. On August 8th, the promotional video for the Universiade - MV special session was a tribute to the successful conclusion of the Chengdu Universiade, and we reviewed unique Universiade songs, music videos, and promotional videos with the on-site audience.
This summer, the cultural activities of the Chengdu Universiade Park have become a microcosm of Chengdu's "being a good host, warmly welcoming guests, and improving the quality of a happy city", allowing the world to feel the city's confidence, calmness, enthusiasm, friendliness, and humility.
Seizing the opportunity of the overflow of the "Universiade effect", Chengdu has activated the urban development momentum by deploying and utilizing the Universiade heritage in advance, and taking advantage of the opportunity of hosting the conference, gathering strong driving forces for the city to move forward. The tangible and intangible achievements left by the bidding, hosting, hosting, and post competition of the Chengdu Universiade remain a valuable heritage that will continue to empower the city.
The Chengdu Universiade is a practice that uses youth as a script and tells Chinese stories. The cultural activities of the Chengdu Universiade Park showcase Chengdu's park city, lifestyle and sports atmosphere, as well as the vitality of sports and music, to the world. It also provides citizens and tourists with the opportunity to share the fireworks of Chengdu with the world.
