As all the preparation work has been done for the operation of venues and events, the Hangzhou Asian Games welcomed its highest daily influx of inbound visitors related to the Games on Thursday. A total of 20,000 to 30,000 people are expected to depart for the city of Hangzhou in East China's Zhejiang province during the Games, according to the Hangzhou border inspection station. As the official entry and exit port for the Hangzhou Asian Games, the airport has welcomed more than 10,000 athletes, coaches, members of the Olympic Committee, technical officials and media reporters since September 9. At the Hangzhou East Railway Station, Global Times reporters were guided by clear signs from the moment of arrival. The Asian Games village, along with five Asian Games sub-villages and three athlete hotels, officially opened on Saturday. More than 5,000 athletes from 45 countries and regions, including China, Japan and South Korea, have checked in the villages so far, said Hangzhou Asian Games Chief Spokesperson Chen Weiqiang, at the entrance of the Asian Games Village. The enthusiastic staff guided Global Times reporters to the registration center to complete check-in and took the shuttle bus to the apartments. The staffer added that media reporters and technicians from all countries and regions in Asia are staying in the nearby areas of the village, and there will be plenty of opportunities for everyone to meet with each other. The work teams responsible for the competition equipment and facilities are also well-prepared, with the opening ceremony team predicting possible extreme weather conditions. If light rain affects safety, some performances can be shortened or canceled. If the meteorological authority predicts that weather conditions are unsuitable for outdoor activities, the opening ceremony will be moved indoors to the basketball stadium. The Hangzhou Asian Games may be more competitive and enjoyable than previous iterations as many events have been confirmed as qualifiers for the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics, Chen said. In participating countries and regions, high-ranking athletes, even Olympic champions, have been sent to compete in the games. Hopefully, top eight and a medal will be good. I am ready to experience the whole competition and see the amazing fencers,' said Wang Jiemin, an 18-year-old fencer from the Singapore delegation.
