As the year approaches, Yantian welcomes two more high-profile sports events.
On December 10, the 2023 China Triathlon League Finals and City Family Triathlon (Yantian, Shenzhen) kicked off in Yantian;
On December 17, the first Yantian International Road Cycling Race was officially held, attracting about 700 participants, including more than 100 professional and 600 amateur participants......
This is a passionate battle between the dragon and the tiger, and it is also the perfect cooperation between the city and the event: the abundant mountain and sea resources of Yantian are perfectly in line with the characteristics of the event, providing a full guarantee for the success of the event again and again.
An irrefutable fact is that Yantian is becoming more and more popular in the "sports circle". Through the unique competitions, these new phenomena and trends in the development of Yantian urban area are more worthy of attention.
The competition is becoming more and more attractive day by day
The high-quality natural environment and mountain and sea resources are becoming a major weight for Yantian to attract top-level competitions.
One of the most intuitive feelings is that in recent years, the specifications and energy levels of Yantian hosting sports events have become higher and higher.
Taking the China Triathlon League Finals held on December 10 as an example, in terms of events, triathlon has a long history of development: triathlon was born in the United States in the 70s of the 20th century. In 1994, it was listed as an Olympic event by the International Olympic Committee. In 2000, the triathlon made its debut at the Sydney Olympics.
Today, triathlons are made up of three historic sports: swimming, cycling and running, which represent "being in nature and challenging themselves" and inspiring people to forge ahead and move forward.
As far as the event is concerned, the level of the Chinese Triathlon League is also quite high: according to reports, the Chinese Triathlon League is a national league that radiates the whole country, and it is also another national league after the CBA, the Chinese Super League, volleyball and other market-oriented leagues.
It is no accident that YANTIAN was able to host such a high-level event. According to the organizing committee, due to the particularity of the competition portfolio, it has high requirements for the terrain, track and water quality of the venue.
Yantian's unique natural environment is undoubtedly a major reason for the event: Yantian is backed by Wutong Mountain and faces Mirs Bay, providing an excellent "natural track" for triathlon competitions: swimming, cycling and running.
Last year, the average daily PM2.5 concentration in Yantian was 14.2 micrograms per cubic meter, which has been better than the EU standard for many years, and the proportion of excellent river length was close to 90%, a significant increase from 74.1% last year.
Since the beginning of this year, many high-end events have been held in Yantian, such as the first Yantian Mountain and Sea Half Marathon, the 2023 Hydrofoil Windsurfing World Cup (Shenzhen) and the Hydrofoil Windsurfing Asia Championships. Let's ask, with such a beautiful scenery and such a good environment, how can you not love high-end events?
The ability to host events is getting stronger and stronger
With the success of a number of high-profile competitions, Yantian has become more and more capable of organizing and hosting the events, and has become more and more "calm" and "calm" in the face of the competition.
From the half marathon at the beginning of the year to the triathlon at the end of the year, YANTIAN took the initiative to ensure that the event was implemented, and at the same time, the route planning was reasonable, the preparation was sufficient, and the support was perfect...... Behind this success is the enterprising spirit of Yantian City, and the enterprising spirit of Yantian people's innovation and hard work.
To run an event is to build a city. Despite the frequent events, the city of Yantian is always running smoothly and smoothly. This increasingly calm in the face of high-end events is the "ordinary effort" of urban governance to play the greatest effect.
The high-frequency event arrangement also allowed the happy Yantian people to be a "live audience" for a year. However, in the face of every runner who crossed the finish line first in each event, the audience did not hesitate to applaud and cheer, and the audience also encouraged and supported every warrior who persevered to the end...... Behind this passion is the contribution of every high-quality Yantian audience.
The integration of culture and tourism plays a "combination punch"
With the end of a number of high-level competitions this year, Yantian's influence in the "sports circle" is also increasing day by day, and the "playing style" of cultural and tourism combination boxing has also been updated.
This December, there will be three exciting events in Yantian: the finals of the China Triathlon League was held on December 10, and the first Yantian International Road Cycling Race was held on December 17, with about 700 participants, including more than 100 professional and 600 amateur races.
The upcoming 2023 "Shenzhen 100" cross-country race will be held from December 30th to 31st in OCT East and its surrounding areas, which are divided into four groups of paths: 10 km, 30 km, 50 km and 100 km.
In just 15 days, Yantian hosted two major competitions, which were rare in recent years. While hosting a number of high-end sports events, Yantian has also introduced a series of policies to promote culture, sports, tourism and business.
With "sports" as the medium, YANTIAN is "invigorating" consumption and "nurturing" the industry with various events, setting off a climax of "sports + cultural tourism + consumption" integration.
In the future, Yantian will also distribute digital RMB red envelopes such as food and beverage retail coupons, gold and jewellery coupons, cultural tourism coupons, wedding coupons, etc., and plan to hold more than 20 consumption promotion activities, such as the Shanhai Life Festival, Music Festival, Cross-border Food Festival, Durian Freedom Festival, and Year-end Special Car Purchase Festival, to further enrich the consumption experience of citizens and tourists in Yantian.
