Located in Tonglu County, Hangzhou, the Tonglu Equestrian Center is the venue for the equestrian events of the Hangzhou Asian Games and one of the few professional equestrian competition venues in the country.
At the beginning of 2022, Wang Xiang, an engineer from China Construction Third Bureau, participated in the construction of the Tonglu Equestrian Center. After the completion of the Tonglu Equestrian Center, as the representative of the construction party, his identity changed from a builder to a "housekeeper", responsible for the daily maintenance and guarantee of the Tonglu Equestrian Center. For more than a year, Wang Xiang has inspected the equestrian center twice a day, and he already knows the 54,000-square-meter venue: "I am mainly responsible for the daily maintenance of the Tonglu Equestrian Center, testing the LED displays, amplifiers, flagpoles, etc. used during the competition to ensure the normal operation of all facilities and equipment." In addition, the venue and high-standard stables of the equestrian events are also the focus of Wang Xiang's attention." The floor of the equestrian competition venue is covered with fiber sand, and during the maintenance we sprinkle water once a week to maintain humidity, and then use professional graders to maintain softness. Wang Xiang introduced.
Wang Xiang is full of expectations for the upcoming Asian Games. In the summer heat, Wang Xiang meticulously carried out his "housekeeping" work under the high temperature. When autumn comes, costumed riders and enthusiastic spectators will share the charm of equestrian sports in this stadium carefully maintained by Wang Xiang.
