Hangzhou won its bid (申办) for the 2022 Asian Games on September 16th, 2015. It will be the third time that the Games are held in a Chinese city after Beijing in 1990 and Guangzhou in 2010.
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!
