China has once again flaunted its immense wealth and power with its state-of-the-art venues for the 19th Asian Games here.
During the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the world’s second-most populous country with a population of more than 1.4 billion unwrapped several great architectural designs for a number of playing venues.For this year’s edition of the biggest regional sportsfest, China produced several stunningly beautiful venues, including the Yangshan Sport Climbing Centre in Shaoxing, Zhenjiang province.Why? It is built meticulously in the shape of a silk-worm cocoon plus a breathtaking background.
As expected, the MMC is equipped with ultra modern technology and manned by very friendly personnel although it is sometimes difficult to communicate with them.Named Shan Shui, Asian Games medals depict the beautiful landscape of the city with the ancient bridge the most prominent. On Friday, the Games’ mascots – three sports-playing robots – visited the Media Center to show everybody that some players took selfies with them. They are Congcong , Lianlian and Chenchen – all of them are linked to a UNESCO Heritage Site in the city.
While Congcong represents the archaeological ruins of Liangzhu City, Lianlian is for the city's West Lake and Chenchen is for the Grand Canal, science and technology.
