Excitement is building in Chengdu as the 12th World Games kick off in just 30 days, from August 7 to 17! This year, the organizers are taking a fresh approach by hosting the opening ceremony outdoors at the Tianfu International Convention Center’s open area. The decision to forgo a traditional stadium setup embraces simplicity and truly captures Chengdu’s cool, laid-back charm. 😊
Constructed in June 2020 and operational by 2021, this convention center is a proud urban landmark rather than a venue built solely for the games. As deputy chief director Huang Peiling explained, many spectators will enjoy the show on the grassland outside, which perfectly reflects the city’s unique character.
The opening ceremony will feature a 90-minute show highlighted with a 15-minute artistic performance. With rehearsals underway since June, the event promises a mix of culture, art, and high-energy performance that appeals to both sports fans and lovers of innovative entertainment. 🌟
As the countdown unfolds across the Chinese mainland, the 12th World Games is set to deliver an experience that blends modern design with local flavor. Get ready to witness a celebration of simplicity and spirit in one of the year’s most vibrant cultural festivals!
