As one of the few islands in the Pearl River, Haixinsha island has been positioned as an ecological and leisure island. In addition, Haixinsha island is also an intersection of Guangzhou City: the east-west direction is the historical axis of the Pearl River, which has witnessed the wind and rain of the ancient city of Guangzhou for more than 2000 years, and the north-south direction is the new North-South urban axis of Guangzhou facing the future development. Extending to the north, it is the new landmark buildings in Guangzhou, such as the West Tower and the Provincial Museum.

Opening and closing ceremony venues

With the 100 day countdown to the Guangzhou Asian Games approaching, the preparatory work of Guangzhou Asian Games has entered the final sprint stage. Looking back on the past few years' preparatory process, the Cantonese dare to be the first in the world, and their innovative and pragmatic style has been fully reflected. There are still 100 days to go before the opening of the Guangzhou Asian Games. What is the appearance of the opening ceremony? There is no doubt that the Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee is under unprecedented pressure. From the vertical comparison, the Asian Games held in Doha in 2006 are magnificent; from the horizontal comparison, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is also an unprecedented success. The opening ceremony of the comprehensive Games has always been a great test for the organizers. What kind of opening ceremony will the Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee present?

Water opening ceremony

The great success of the opening ceremonies of the Doha Asian Games and the Beijing Olympic Games nearly pushed Guangzhou into a "desperate situation". If the opening ceremony of Guangzhou Asian Games wants to break the pattern, it must carry out "revolutionary breakthrough".

Innovation has become the only choice for Guangzhou. Haixinsha island in the middle of the Pearl River has become the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Asian Games. 100 days later, a water opening ceremony with the Pearl River as the stage and the city as the background will bring shock to people. Chief director Chen Weiya said publicly: the opening ceremony of 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games is to present a bright future to the outside world on the Pearl River!

Promote Lingnan culture and set sail

Tan Jianxiang, a professor at the school of physical education of South China Normal University, who participated in the preparations for the opening ceremony, said that the opening ceremony was a change in itself by moving from a traditional stadium to an outdoor one. Surely some people will ask whether it was inspired by the opening ceremony of the East Asian Games in Victoria Harbor. In fact, we have this idea for a long time, because the Pearl River is in the ascendant in Lingnan culture The success of the East Asian Games in Victoria Harbour has strengthened our confidence in holding the opening ceremony in Haixinsha.

The cultural orientation of the opening and closing ceremony has been confirmed, and it will be a cultural feast "based on Chinese culture, integrating Asian culture and highlighting Lingnan culture". The reason why Haixinsha is chosen is that it is located in the middle of the East-West Pearl River and the core of Guangzhou. In addition, from the air, Haixinsha is like a sailing boat. Because it is not far from the Pearl River Estuary, it also hopes that Guangzhou and China will sail to the world through the Guangzhou Asian Games.

The Pearl River as a stage presents a bright future

Chen Weiya, chief director of the opening and closing ceremony of Guangzhou Asian Games, said many times: the opening ceremony of Guangzhou Asian Games will be a different grand ceremony from the past. This time, we will try some new ideas and ideas in many aspects. The opening ceremony of the Asian Games should be dominated by blue, with everything around the Pearl River as the stage, and water as the main creative area for the performance of the whole opening ceremony. In addition, we try our best to be romantic, dreamy and shocking. Romantic, dreamy and shocking feeling. I expect it to be a unique opening ceremony. And we try our best to have the characteristics of Guangzhou and the charm of Lingnan. One of the distinctive highlights is the Pearl River Cruise and artistic performance. The most important part of the Pearl River Cruise is that athletes and officials will arrive at the venue after a boat night tour of the Pearl River, while citizens will enjoy themselves on both sides of the Strait, which fully reflects the grand scene of "a river singing". The core idea of the opening ceremony is to take the Pearl River as the stage and the city as the background. Through the opening ceremony of Guangzhou Asian Games, a bright future will be presented to the outside world.

"Kuozhen Princess"

The name of "Kuo Kuo Zhen Princess" can be traced back to the period of Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. It was originally the accompanying ship of Kublai Khan's daughter, Kuo Kuo Zhen princess, when she married Persia.

As the image ambassador of the Asian Games, "kuozhen Princess" sailed from Kuwait from March to July 2009 The "maritime Silk Road" has visited nearly 30 countries and regions along the Persian Gulf and Southeast Asia, and has been warmly welcomed by the National Olympic committees, governments and non-governmental organizations. At the same time, it has also passed on the concept of "Harmonious Asia, passionate event" of Guangzhou Asian Games and Guangzhou's warm invitation to all parts of Asia.

Citizen Park

In October 2013, Guangzhou City Investment Group, the investment operator of Haixinsha, announced that Haixinsha would be divided into three regions: West, middle and East. After the renovation, Haixinsha will be open to the public for free.

Haixinsha adheres to the nature of the Asian Games Park and citizen square, and all the original buildings and new facilities are open free of charge. According to the three functional orientations of "Asian Games business card, citizen square and international fashion", the original facilities should be appropriately transformed to improve the supporting service functions. The western district will make use of the stand space to supplement and improve the catering, Guangdong tourism products display and other service functions; the central district will make use of the sail screen to create free weekend outdoor movies; the Eastern District will demolish the old building and build a new three storey exhibition and Conference Center.

The Western District of Haixinsha includes the grandstand and the west part of the grandstand, which is planned to be used as the comprehensive service area. The overall appearance of Haixinsha Asian Games site is retained in the stand, and the plane, elevation and section of the building are basically unchanged. But inside the stands, space will be optimized and utilized. There is a helicopter apron on the west side of the stand, which is raised to 17 meters, becoming a fully open public tourist sightseeing platform. The function of the apron can also be retained in theory. The elevated apron is expected to be the best location for shooting Guangzhou tower, East Tower, West Tower, new central axis and Ersha Island. Catering and shopping facilities will be set at the lower part of the platform, where citizens and tourists can have morning tea and coffee.

After the reconstruction of the western district is completed, the passage between Haixinsha and Ersha Island will be restored, and the two jiangxindao will be connected by greenways. Citizens can walk through Haixinsha from Ersha Island and then walk to Huacheng square.

The central district will use the windsurfing screen to play free blockbusters. The Central District of Haixinsha will be used as a cultural performance area, with fountain, stage, sail screen and other stage facilities for the Asian Games. At the same time, the Asian Games torch was erected at the east end of Xingguang Avenue. The Asian Games museum will be set up near the Haixinsha station of APM in the underground space of the stage, and the Asian Games Museum in Tianhe Sports Center will be moved to Haixinsha to enrich the cultural connotation of the Asian Games.

The central district will also use sail screens to build an open-air movie theater. Although the clarity of the LED screen is slightly worse than that of the screen, the super large screen, coupled with the first-class sound effect, is expected to provide a good viewing experience. According to the plan, if there are no large-scale artistic performances in the future, there will be free outdoor movies on Friday and Saturday nights.

New 3-storey exhibition and conference building in East District

Haixinshadong district has not been opened to the outside world. There are about ten old low rise buildings as the office space of the subordinate units of the urban investment group. The transformation idea of the eastern district is to create an exhibition and conference area. After the demolition of the old house, only a three storey new building will be built, with comprehensive exhibition, conference and sports functions. Huang Jiatian revealed that in the future, Haixin Shadong district will become a well-known brand at home and abroad, releasing new products and services
