China Daily, July 28th - Youth Home, Achieve Dreams! The 31st World University Summer Games opened in Chengdu on the evening of the 28th. From Beijing Capital International Airport to the athlete village of the Chengdu Universiade, the symbols of the Universiade can be seen everywhere, and one can feel the anticipation for the Universiade.
At Beijing Capital International Airport, an American friend waiting for the flight told China Daily that Chengdu is a beautiful international metropolis. "Chengdu is so charming, bigger than I imagined, and I had a wonderful time there." Although I haven't seen a real giant panda yet, due to the upcoming Universiade, the mascot "Rongbao" can be seen everywhere in Chengdu.
At the Cultural Interaction Experience Center of Chengdu Universiade Village, a reporter from China Daily ran into an Italian water polo player to experience Chinese culture, holding a brush and learning to write the word "fu".
Erin Harty, a water polo player from South Africa, is participating in the Universiade for the first time. She said that due to our love for sports, we have become a big family in Chengdu and are very much looking forward to meeting new friends from all over the world in the Universiade Village. Without a doubt, the Chengdu Universiade is a top-level event, "especially for athletes who will participate in the Paris Olympics, this is a rare opportunity to prepare."
Members of the US delegation are eager to try "spicy" cuisine. Based on the construction of Chengdu University campus, Chengdu Dayun Village can accommodate approximately 11000 people. There are two athlete restaurants set up in the village, with a total area of approximately 17000 square meters, and a single meal can accommodate 10000 people.
The American diving team athletes said that Chengdu is very luxurious and gives a very deep first impression. Although there are many delicious foods in Dayun Village, they still really want to try the authentic "spicy" feeling, "Chengdu cuisine is waiting for us~".
In addition, from venue construction to event support, Chengdu has highlighted its green and low-carbon hosting philosophy in the preparation for this year's Universiade. Indian scholar Kanta paid special attention to this.
He wrote on his social media, "Welcome to Chengdu, China!" The transportation facilities here are excellent, and public transportation is electric and tram less.
According to the Chengdu Universiade Organizing Committee, in order to fully ensure green travel during the Games, 1340 new energy buses and more than 1100 new energy cars will be used for transportation services. The Longquanyi competition area is also equipped with 50 hydrogen fuel vehicles for event support.
