The
well-known capital city of Zhejiang Province in the southeast part of the
country has a population of 9. 47 million. It is a beautiful city with a long
history and it has been developing rapidly in recent years. Hosting the Asian Games
will give the city another chance to grow.
"We
have seen here the strong wish and the great effort of Hangzhou to host the
19th Asian Games." The OCA (亚奥理事会) President praised.
The Games
are set to include 34 sports. Some venues (场馆) have already been completed, while several others are still being
built and will be put into use one year before the Games. The Asian Games will
be held from September 10 to 25, when the temperature is around 20℃.
"There
is no doubt that the event will attract more visitors to experience the beauty
and charm of this amazing city. At the same time, more roads will be built and
the underground will be added, reducing heavy traffic. But the best part is
that it will give us the chance to watch world-class competitions close to our
homes." Shao Lin, a local person, told the reporter excitedly.
With the
Asian Games in Hangzhou in September and the World Cup in Qatar (卡塔尔) in November, 2022 will be an
exciting year for Asians, especially Chinese sports fans.
Hangzhou
is trying its best to get ready for the big sports show. Hangzhou is waiting to
see you in 2022!
