China has committed to presenting a green and intelligent Asian Games to the world. Through such a sporting extravaganza, China has not only fulfilled its commitment but also showcased its achievements in green development and technological progress on the international stage.
During the opening ceremony, the 70,000 spectators were left in awe by the grand and dazzling fireworks display. However, this stunning spectacle did not cause any pollution. It was brought to life through cutting-edge technologies like 3D animation and AR techniques.
Self-driving shuttle services are available at competition venues, and 5G technology enhances the game-watching experience for spectators.
The extensive application of digital technology is another highlight of this year’s Asian Games. On the opening night, a digital torchbearer symbolically crossed the iconic Qiantang River and arrived at the main venue to ignite the wave-shaped cauldron, a momentous occasion that signifies the first digital ignition ceremony in the history of the Asian Games.
The Hangzhou Asian Games also achieved two significant breakthroughs in the realm of green energy: the first-ever complete supply of renewable electricity to all venues, and the inaugural use of carbon-zero methanol for the primary cauldron at the opening ceremony.
