At two o’clock in the afternoon, Mr. Hong, a Hangzhou citizen, made an appointment with his friends to play at the badminton hall of Hangzhou Huanglong Sports Center. “After the Asian Games and Asian Paralympics, the sports center opened a number of sports facilities to all citizens, including gateball, badminton, table tennis, squash…” Mr. Hong said, “The facilities have been upgraded and the number of open venues has also increased. Quite a few, but demand still exceeds supply. If you don’t make a reservation in advance, you won’t be able to get in line at last minute.”
After the successful conclusion of the Hangzhou Asian Games and the Asian Paralympic Games, the operation of many sports venues built for the games has become the focus of attention. After hosting a successful Asian Games, how to make full use of the venues and resources left by the Asian Games to amplify the comprehensive effect of the Asian Games. The model of “opening to the public + youth amateur training + holding individual events” launched by the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee is of positive significance. On the one hand, it is based on people’s livelihood, continuous and efficient use for national fitness, and avoiding idleness after the game. On the other hand, the racing center actively applies to host high-level events and builds an international “race” and “meeting” city.

The Jinhua Sports Center Football Stadium is one of the venues for the football group matches of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou. In the past few days, the members of the Jinhua No. 8 Middle School women’s football team are training on this field. The young teammates said: “We usually play on artificial turf, but this is real grass, which allows us to get closer to the rhythm of the game and the speed of the ball. When we go out to play, it will help us adapt faster and make tackles easier.” It will also help a lot to improve your skills.”
“High-standard athletic venues are no longer exclusive to athletes. After the Asian Games, all Asian Games sports facilities in our city will be open to the public, adhering to pricing that benefits the people. All outdoor sports events in the competition venues are open for free 14 hours a day, and all venues on statutory holidays All are open for free and will receive more than 2.6 million fitness citizens every year,” said Qian Hongfang, director of the Jinhua National Fitness Center.
Shaoxing Keqiao Yangshan Rock Climbing Center hosted the Asian Games rock climbing competition. After the game, the venue operation team will follow the concept of “sports + tourism” to plan and build extreme sports halls, mountain climbing venues, etc. Some of the tracks in the venue will be transformed into Simple routes that are friendly to the people, while adding spaces such as Asian Games theme exhibitions and rock climbing science and culture exhibitions, turn the venue into an international rock climbing sports theme park that integrates top events, training experiences, popular science research, and leisure tourism.
Chun’an County, with beautiful scenery, hosted some water sports and cycling competitions in the Asian Games and Asian Paralympic Games. The Thousand Island Lake International Road Cycling Race is about to start on November 5. “Registration exceeded 90,000 people on the first day, and 4,500 people were finally selected to participate.” Event organizers said that during the Hangzhou Asian Games and Asian Paralympics, the county contacted many international sports organizations, and they were all optimistic about Qiandao Lake.
