As a "jade in the world" in South Shanghai, the Xiangjiang River in Bay Town brings the sea and the forest is full of flowers. In recent years, relying on good ecological resources and increasingly prominent sports characteristics and cultural advantages, Haiwan Town has actively built a "sports and leisure characteristic town", and painted Danqing on the "picture scroll" of blue and green. With the successful holding of a number of high-quality events, the development characteristics of "Sports +" in Bay Town have become increasingly prominent, and the future development vision has become clearer.
The white single-storey building on Hainong Highway is the city's first chess cultural landmark, the "Home of the National Elephant Champion," which Baytown built last year. On the wall of the entrance, there are commemorative photos hanging, including chess masters such as Xie Jun, Ye Jiangchuan, and Ding Liren, witnessing the development of chess as an intellectual sport in Haiwan Town in recent years. In 2017, Bay Town founded the "Shanghai Bay Cup" Chess Rookie Tournament, and with the continuous holding of the event, the brand effect gradually emerged, and Bay Town won the titles of "Chinese Chess Hometown" and "National Chess Town" in 2018 and 2021 respectively. In order to make this spring-like intellectual sport closer to the masses, Bay Town has created this leisure activity space with strong national characteristics, so that citizens have more opportunities to experience the charm of "black and white grid art". Yao Yuan, a chess player, said: "The Home of the National Chess Champion provides us with a good platform to make friends and learn chess skills, and I hope to meet more friends here, and I also look forward to cultivating future chess stars here." ”
As a large-scale urban ecological forest park with the largest area and the largest number of vegetation varieties in Shanghai, Shanghai Bay National Forest Park is an ideal choice for many Shanghai citizens to spend their holidays and get close to nature. With the rise of outdoor sports in recent years, Bay Town has found new development opportunities here, and held the first outdoor sports festival, including forest half marathon, triathlon, college 100-mile relay and other events, adding more vitality and dynamism to this park where you can enjoy flowers in all seasons and have cultural tourism in all seasons. Citizen Wang Jiali said: "I went to the Bay Marathon with my friends before, the whole track is very beautiful, with the sea, windmills and reeds on the side, this is the most beautiful marathon track I have ever run, I hope that Bay Town will hold more such events in the future, and I will continue to participate in 2024." ”
Regional development is like a chess game, which requires strategic planning and accumulation. One son fell and the whole thing was lived. In the new year, Haiwan Town will further play the role of sports events to empower the development of ecology, culture and tourism. On the one hand, we will continue to build a sports brand of "One Static and One Movement" and enhance the influence of the National Chess Rookie Championship and the Outdoor Sports Festival, and on the other hand, it will "blossom" in national fitness, take sports and leisure as the chain, drive the deep integration of cultural tourism and commerce, and lead the new trend of citizen sports.
Sheng Qunhua, Secretary of the Party Committee of Haiwan Town, introduced: "This year, we will hold the 8th National Elephant Newcomer Wang Competition and the 2nd Outdoor Sports Festival to achieve a competition and build a city." We will also focus on the vitality block of Hainong Highway, the most beautiful boulevard Suitang River Road, and the most beautiful marathon road Tuanjietang Road + coastline to create a 'one vertical and two horizontal' sports and leisure routes, forming a 'walk-away' national fitness and leisure loop, so that the contestants and citizens can fully combine participating in sports activities with visiting the bay scenery, tasting agricultural food, feeling the fireworks and cultural taste. ”
