It is the longest and thickest dividend of the Hangzhou Asian Games, with trendy reviews and shared construction

The residents of Shenhua area in the west of Hangzhou have developed a new habit of taking a walk around the newly built Canal Sports Park after dinner. In Longwan District, Wenzhou, the Longwan Asian Games Park, completed by the end of 2021, has become an excellent place for nearby residents to rest and exercise.

The Asian Games have not yet opened, but the dividends have already benefited the people. 56 competition venues, 31 independent training venues, as well as 1 Asian Games village and 5 Asian Games sub villages, have been newly built and renovated, covering various competition cities, bringing high standards, high specifications, and modern activity venues to local residents.

The concept of "National Asian Games, Co construction and Sharing" has always been upheld by the Hangzhou Asian Games, allowing citizens to share the benefits of the Asian Games. Integrating the concept of benefiting the people into the entire preparation process of the Asian Games, unifying the creation of high-quality projects for the Asian Games with benefiting the people, and building a 10 minute national fitness facility service circle, making the Hangzhou Asian Games a huge livelihood project.

Last year, due to the postponement of the Asian Games due to the pandemic, the Hangzhou Asian Games set a precedent for comprehensive sports venues in China to be opened to the public before the competition. All competition and training venues for the Asian Games were opened to the benefit of the people.

The 10 measures to benefit the people, including venues for the Asian Games, low prices for free, event activities, public welfare training, professional sports, cultural and sports integration, sports and business integration, sports consumption, fitness venues, and digital platforms, are all impressive and valuable, effectively promoting the integration of the Asian Games and residents' lives.

The Asian Games benefit the people and add color to their lives. People living in this city are witnesses, participants, and beneficiaries. Modern sports venues have been built at the doorstep of homes, while there are over 10000 sports parks, community multifunctional sports fields, football fields, and basketball courts built in the province under vacant urban land, abandoned factories, and elevated bridges. Small and beautiful, small and exquisite sports venues appeared around residents, and their happiness index skyrocketed.

As one of the 56 arenas of the Hangzhou Asian Games, the Canal Sports Park is the only newly built venue in the main urban area of Hangzhou. It is also the first comprehensive urban sports park in Zhejiang Province that integrates collective sports facilities, parks, sports fields, and commercial facilities. It has facilities such as artificial lakes, runways, themed campsites, and national fitness centers. The current popularity of the Canal Sports Park shows us the enormous ability of sports venue construction to meet diverse social needs and integrate with the lives of citizens, in improving the quality of life of residents.

The Canal Sports Park is a microcosm. Relying on the people to host the Asian Games and running the Asian Games well for the people. The Asian Games is not only a sports event, but also shoulders the important mission of improving people's livelihoods and resolving social difficulties and pain points.

The changes in life during the Asian Games are being reflected in various aspects. Transportation has always been a pain point for residents in the west of Hangzhou. With the opening of the Tianmushan Road Tunnel in August this year, the Qiantang Expressway emerged, and from the west to the east of the city, it was unobstructed; Ningbo has transformed its employees from spectators to participants through organizing events; Wenzhou thoroughly cleans up the "scars" of the city and "beautifies the city"; Huzhou has transformed from an old residential area to the construction of the last mile of the Asian Games venue, comprehensively enhancing the urban landscape; Shaoxing has launched special actions such as "community propaganda facility renovation" and "temporary greening of idle land" to pay attention to the "small environment" around the people and promote the dual improvement of urban appearance and quality; Jinhua aims to create a "fully covered, small and comprehensive" urban ecological space.

Organize a meeting well and elevate a city. The significance of hosting the Asian Games is far beyond that of an international event. In recent years, the urban landscape of Hangzhou has undergone tremendous changes. The T4 terminal of Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport was put into operation, the Hangzhou West Station was completed, and the Second Ring Road was opened, connecting the West City Science and Technology Innovation Corridor and the airport with Metro 19. From planning to construction, it only took a short 5 years. The construction of a 516 kilometer rail transit network, a 480 kilometer expressway network, 39 city entrances, and 215 Asian Games commuting roads have been meticulously improved... Such a scale and intensity of construction is unparalleled in the history of Hangzhou's urban development.

Nowadays, Hangzhou is constantly breaking through its urban boundaries, with significant expansion of urban space, unprecedented coordination of functional arrangements within various urban areas, and a leap in urban energy levels. It can be said that Hangzhou has never had such a huge urban pattern and development space as it does today. This will provide strong support for the development of Hangzhou and even the whole province for a considerable period of time in the future, affecting generation after generation, and benefiting the people of the whole province.

Every measure revolves around people, and every progress reflects the high level of people-oriented urban civilization. Every achievement is fully shared with citizens. The Asian Games are worth looking forward to, as they will leave a lasting legacy. They will share the same breath, feel the same dream, love the same, and share the same.
