Theme of Hangzhou torch relay route
The torch relay of the Asian Games follows the concept of green, wisdom, frugality and civilization, and the torch relay route planning pays attention to simplicity, scale and moderation. First of all, the preparation of the torch relay route conforms to the practice of international competitions, and also takes the torch relay route preparation as an important opportunity to show Zhejiang's development achievements. In the process of route compilation, we always focus on poetry and painting Jiangnan and Zhejiang brands.
The theme of Hangzhou's route is the splendid Xintiantang Line, which mainly focuses on the urban development from the West Lake era to the Qiantang River era, from the dazzling dawn of Liangzhu civilization to the Xizi Lake with sunshine and rain, and then to the endless Qiantang River, vividly embodying Hangzhou's urban positioning as a famous historical and cultural city, a city of innovation and vitality, and a capital of ecological civilization.
