Qu Xiangdong: Rowing "Empowers" Urban Development

  

  "I've been to many cities at home and abroad to participate in rowing. Shenyang Hunhe is the 'most beautiful city still water track in China' in my heart. Speaking of Hunhe, Qu Xiangdong, a famous TV host and chairman of Beijing Xingzhi Exploration Culture Development Group Co., Ltd., did not hesitate to praise him. He believes that the Hun River is "China's Charles River".

  Qu Xiangdong said that Shenyang's climate, latitude and urban atmosphere are suitable for the development of rowing, Liaoning is an important province of rowing in China, and a large proportion of the country's outstanding athletes come from the Liaoshen region. Of the women's quadruple sculls winners at the 2008 Beijing Olympics alone, three of the four athletes were from Liaoning. In addition, the Liaoning Provincial Rowing Team, Shenyang Water Sports School, etc. are stationed here to train, and Shenyang has a large number of professional rowing talents. "I am very confident in the Shenyang International Rowing Open. Shenyang should benchmark the event against the Charles River Rowing Race in Boston, or even surpass it. ”

  Qu Xiangdong also said that as an important part of the outdoor leisure industry with the integration of culture, sports and tourism as the core, rowing will enter the lives of more people. The development of rowing and related industries will also drive the development of rowing training industry, equipment manufacturing industry, transportation industry, exhibition industry and service industry, stimulate economic growth, and "empower" urban development.
