In four days, the opening ceremony of Hangzhou Asian Games will be held in Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium (Big Lotus). On the evening of September 18th, the opening ceremony of Hangzhou Asian Games completed the last full-factor rehearsal.
The opening ceremony of large-scale sports games usually attracts much attention. It is a window to show the cultural style of the host city and the concept of hosting the games. It is understood that the opening ceremony of the Asian Games in Hangzhou will be divided into three chapters: the first chapter “Elegance of National Style”, the second chapter “Tide of Qiantang” and the second chapter “Walk Together”, with the theme of “Rise of Asia”, seeking inspiration from China traditional culture, blending with typical symbols and images of Zhejiang and Hangzhou, and demonstrating the unique attraction and appeal of oriental aesthetics with the help of science and technology. The ceremonies and performances of the whole opening ceremony are connected in series by water, and the cultural blending between China and Asia and the world in the new era is displayed through “Rise of Asia”.
According to the latest “spoiler”, the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games will definitely be “one thing” different-instead of setting off physical fireworks, digital fireworks will be used instead. Generally speaking, grand fireworks are reserved programs for the opening ceremony of the sports meeting, but this time Hangzhou will “break the rules”. Sha Xiaolan, the general director of the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games, said that not setting off physical fireworks is to express the concept of environmental protection to the whole world. “We have made great determination to cancel the physical fireworks display.” Sha Xiaolan said frankly.

However, Sha Xiaolan also said that not setting off physical fireworks does not mean that the wonderful degree of the opening ceremony will be discounted. “We use digital technology, 3D animation, AR technology, etc. to show fireworks in front of TV viewers and live audiences.” He also said that watching the opening ceremony electronic fireworks display through TV, mobile phones and other ports, the overall viewing effect is better than the scene.
