When was the first Asian Games held in China?
The Asian Games was first held in China on 1990.

The Asian Games is the largest comprehensive sports meeting in Asia. The first Asian Games in China was held in Beijing. 1In March, 1984, the Chinese Olympic Committee formally wrote to the OCA to apply for hosting the 1 1 Asian Games in Beijing.

In the first comprehensive international sports competition held in China, 6,578 members of sports delegations from 37 countries and regions of the OCA participated in the Asian Games.

China held the Asian Games in Guangzhou for the second time. On July 1 day, 2004, the 23rd plenary session of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) sent good news: Guangzhou, China won the right to host the 20 10 Asian Games.

The reason why Guangzhou Asian Games became the largest Asian Games at that time was that it coincided with the plan of the Olympic Council of Asia to "slim down" the Asian Games, that is, to reduce the scale of the Asian Games and reduce the number of events from 20 14.

2. Venue construction

China has made a lot of preparations for the Asian Games, built the Olympic Sports Center and the Asian Games Village, and built a large number of overpasses and spacious roads with the main stadium of the Asian Games as the main venue. The face of Beijing has also taken on a new look.

According to Zhang Qing, who has been engaged in sports foreign affairs for a long time, from participating in international competitions to hosting international competitions, China hopes to be more open to the outside world and re-establish its image as a big country in the world. At home, it hopes to use this as a "starting point" to speed up urban construction and improve people's material and spiritual civilization.

At the same time, a number of supporting projects have been launched. Most sections of the North Fourth Ring Road were completed before the Asian Games, which was more than 200 1 year earlier1year. The central axis road extends from Gulou Outer Street to North Fourth Ring Road. The first ring highway Second Ring Road, which started construction in the 1960s, also accelerated the pace of construction, and was finally completed at 1992.

4. Torch Relay

The torch relay of the Beijing Asian Games was won by Dawayan Sect; People affectionately call her "the daughter of the torch". 1990, Dawayang School was just a little girl of 14 years old. That year's torch relay was called "the light of the Asian Games". After assembling in Nyainqentanglha Mountain, the torch relay starts from the westernmost, southernmost, easternmost and northernmost points in China and finally gathers in Beijing.

Among them, when passing through various provinces, it was divided into numerous sub-torches, and almost all counties and cities in China were visited within one month. The ignition platform at the southern end of Haikou is the starting point of one of the main torches. The other three were lit in Urumqi, Lhasa and Harbin respectively.
