Looking at Zhejiang before the Asian Games | Wenzhou: A Thousand Year Old Commercial Port Ready to Embrace the Asian Games
The strong atmosphere of the Asian Games on the streets and alleys, the best adjusted competition venues, and convenient and beneficial sports facilities... Recently, reporters visited the co host city of the Hangzhou Asian Games, Wenzhou, and saw that this city, known for its reform and innovation, daring to think and try, is ready to welcome the arrival of the Asian Games.
During the Asian Games, Wenzhou will host all dragon boat competitions, as well as some football group matches and elimination matches. The competition venue is a stage for athletes to work hard and showcase their talents. The reporter first enters the venue to understand the preparation situation.
At the Wenzhou Dragon Boat Sports Center, a dragon boat competition venue, the maintenance staff of the venue facilities are observing the water level in real-time against the gate and pump station automation control system. The staff introduced that Wenzhou is located in a coastal area, where intelligent water level control is achieved through digital construction to ensure the safety of the competition venue during the flood season.

As one of the 12 newly built venues for the Hangzhou Asian Games and Asian Paralympics, Wenzhou Dragon Boat Sports Center fully considers urban and rural planning, sports venue layout, and regional industrial development. It not only meets the needs of dragon boat events and mass sports, but also takes into account regional flood control, drainage, and improvement of water ecology.

The concept of green, intelligent, frugal, and civilized competition has been fully reflected in the renovation of the venue. In preparation for the Asian Games, the athlete lounge and media area of the Wenzhou Sports Center Stadium have been renovated and upgraded.
"The experience of the lawn for football players is crucial, and we use digital technology to achieve 'intelligent grass cultivation'. Chen Sheng, a staff member of the Wenzhou Sports Center Stadium, told reporters that the sensors installed under the stadium lawn can collect data on the temperature, humidity, pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content of the lawn roots, as well as the light intensity, sunshine hours, and solar radiation on the lawn surface. These data provide important references for staff to carry out targeted maintenance.".
The Wenzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium, which has 50000 seats, will host the Asian Games football competition. Wei Zhongyan, the project manager of the stadium, said that through the joint efforts of all parties involved in the construction, the steel structure canopy support of the main stadium has fewer landing points than conventional sports stadiums, which not only looks elegant in appearance but also reduces the amount of building materials used.

Organize a meeting well and elevate a city. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Asian Games, Wenzhou has repaired and upgraded a number of municipal facilities such as roads, accelerated the layout of fitness and leisure venues, and more and more people are enjoying the sense of gain brought by the Asian Games.
Recently, a national football match started at the Taohua Island Sports and Leisure Park Football Base in Wenzhou, attracting 108 football teams and nearly 3000 football enthusiasts to exchange and exchange ideas on the field. It's hard to imagine that this sports field, which is adjacent to the Ou River and has a wide view, is built on the roof of a sewage treatment plant.
"According to the layered land supply model, the roof of the sewage treatment plant has been built with indoor air film ski resorts, outdoor football bases, sports supporting projects, etc., greatly improving the surrounding environment and breaking away from the previous problem of neighborhood avoidance in this area," said Wang Qi, Vice Chairman of the Wenzhou Football Association.
