What philosophy does the Hangzhou Asian Games adhere to?

The 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou adheres to the concept of "green, smart, frugal and civilized".

From clean energy to energy-saving buildings, the Hangzhou Asian Games implements the concept of "green" hosting. In the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Sports Swimming Pool, the intelligent light guide system introduces outdoor natural light into the venue through 210 light guide tubes on the roof, saving 100,000 kilowatt hours of electricity every year.

At Hangzhou Fuyang Water Sports Center, the roof covering area of ??the venue is about 24,000 square meters. A variety of green plants make the greening rate of the venue reach 45%, which can not only sequester carbon and release oxygen, but also make the venue winter-friendly. Warm and cool in summer.

The Asian Sailing Center in Xiangshan is the only sea-related venue of the Hangzhou Asian Games. "Green and waste-free" is its biggest highlight. Following the natural status of mountainous areas and steep slopes, land-based buildings are built against the mountains. The construction is gradually raised along the mountain to reduce damage to vegetation.

Currently, the 65 venues and related facilities of the Hangzhou Asian Games have achieved 100% green power supply. In addition to offshore wind power and photovoltaics in the province, most of these green power come from the central and western provinces.

As the Asian Games approach, safe and intelligent driverless buses have arrived at the doorsteps of Hangzhou citizens, connecting residential communities and Asian Games venues. The bus can complete road driving and door opening and closing after arriving at the bus stop. The safety officer will only take over the vehicle in extremely special dangerous situations to ensure the safety of passengers.

In order to allow spectators to enjoy more convenient viewing services, the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou launched the "Smart Asian Games One-Stop" applet. Audiences do not need to download additional software, and one entrance is all they need. Game viewing services and various needs such as "food, housing, transportation, travel, shopping, entertainment".

Adhering to the concept of frugal hosting of games, 44 of the 56 competition venues for the Hangzhou Asian Games are renovated or temporarily built, only 12 are newly built, accounting for 1/5 of the total, and 31 All training venues are renovated venues.

The Cultural and Sports Center of Zhejiang Gongshang University is the competition venue for the handball event of this Asian Games. Due to the needs of the event, the original floor will be removed during the renovation of the venue. In order to avoid wasting the floor, which could be dismantled in five days, the school spent two weeks carrying out protective dismantling, and then donated it to mountain schools in need.

The gymnasium of Hangzhou University of Electronic Science and Technology was originally the school’s basketball hall. After upgrading and transformation, it has been “transformed” into a fencing venue with 5 fencing lanes and nearly 5,000 spectator seats. The 17-year-old auditorium seats in the venue have been renovated and put into service again.

Not only that, “frugality” is also reflected in the sustainable use of the “Asian Games heritage”. At present, 51 venues have formulated specific utilization plans for the next step, and the proportion of plans that can be utilized after the game has reached 91%.

The Hangzhou Asian Games also demonstrates the concept of humane civilization in every aspect. The competition venues are built in accordance with barrier-free standards, making the urban experience more comfortable. "Talking" barrier-free toilets can not only provide more considerate services, but can also trigger alarm mechanisms through voice calls for help.
