After the competition, Chinese team player Lin Xiyu said, "The competitive strength of Asian women's golf is very strong, which is obvious to all.

On October 7th, various Asian Games events at four Asian Games venues in Xihu District came to a successful conclusion. On the field, the athletes fought hard, the audience cheered enthusiastically, and the staff busy in every corner inside and outside the field also showed their light and heat in another way, worthy of equally warm applause and sincere gratitude.

Wearing blue vests, "West Lake Sister", "Urban Management Blue" law enforcement officers, "Vitality Orange" city side volunteers, "Little Green Lotus" volunteers from Hushan Green, and "Red Vest" mass volunteers are providing services to citizens and tourists in an orderly manner according to their respective responsibilities.

Come on, everyone take a look at the camera and smile! "West Lake Sister Wu Peirong, wearing a blue vest, recorded the exciting moment of the Asian Games knowledge quiz at the Baisha Spring Civilization Station with her camera. As one of the 13 municipal level civilized stations in Xihu District, Baishaquan Civilization Station in Beishan Street is only 300 meters away from Huanglong Sports Center in a straight line. This is not only the main battlefield for volunteer service, but also provides convenient services such as information consultation, emergency medical care, and free inflation for tourists who come and go; This is also an activity space for civilized sports watching and Asian Games promotion. The fun activities carried out regularly attract citizens and tourists to stop and participate.

Thin bamboo strips are repeatedly overlapped in a regular pattern, and the circular, ingot shaped, and five pointed star shaped basket bodies gradually appear. However, the delicate small flower basket, the size of a palm, was once a favorite of Hangzhou people and also one of the impressions of Hangzhou's traditional culture for many people. Recently, as the inheritor of the provincial-level intangible cultural heritage "Xixi Small Flower Basket Weaving Skills", "West Lake Sister" Hong Liping was invited by the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee to enter Hangzhou Asian Games Village to showcase the charm of small flower basket weaving skills to guests from various countries, allowing the "villagers" of the Asian Games Village to immerse themselves in the charm of traditional Chinese culture during the competition.

I am very proud that the Hangzhou Asian Games can be held at my doorstep this time, and I hope to use this opportunity to showcase Hangzhou culture and convey the spirit of the Asian Games with the Xixi small flower basket. "In the cultural cabin of the Asian Games Village, Hong Liping taught foreign friends hand in hand to weave small flower baskets, using superb skills and persistent patience to overcome language barriers and showcase Hangzhou's intangible cultural heritage and the charm of" West Lake Sister "to friends from all over the world, truly interpreting" heaven on earth, most remembered Hangzhou ".

During the National Day holiday, Shuangpu Town teamed up with "West Lake Sister" to set up a tea stall in Xixi Wetland, allowing more people to taste this "autumn flavor" and learn about the culture of Jiuqu Hongmei tea. Malaysian athletes tasted osmanthus nine curved red plum for the first time at a tea stall, and they all gave thumbs up and praised it. They also listened to tea culture stories with great interest.

In order to better serve the teams participating in the Asian Games, Shuangpu Town also held a performance and tasting event of Jiuqu Hongmei tea art at the Asian Games Guarantee Hotel. In the lobby of the Wenhua Jinglan Hotel, the Asian Games themed tea table attracts the attention of guests. With the enthusiastic recommendation of tea artists, they stop to taste the Nine Curve Red Plum Tea and learn about the century old heritage of "a little red among thousands of greenery".

During the Asian Games, if you come to the World Trade Junlan Hotel, before entering the door, you can see a robot dog with "high spirited" steps. This robot dog is called Jueying and is the hotel's "greeter". It is cute, agile and lively. It can not only patrol mountain roads, but also go down ditches and canals to perform tasks in places that are difficult for humans to reach.

Mr. Deputy Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan Mr. Edil Baishalov has a strong interest in interacting with robotic puppies for a long time. After the experience, Mr. Edir Basayev left a thank-you letter on the guest list, thanking the warm service and friendly hospitality of the hotel staff. He also fell in love with West Lake and the city of Hangzhou, and mentioned that he would come to Hangzhou again with friends and family.

At the Asian Games venues in Xihu District, the "Little Green Lotus" from universities in the jurisdiction also attracted attention, using their youth and vitality to help the smooth holding of the event.

As usual, when Li Chuntao, also known as "Xiaoqinghe," finished his day of service at the Huanglong Sports Center Gymnasium and was preparing to take the shuttle bus back to school, he encountered an unexpected situation at the north gate of the venue. Two Uzbek media reporters left their identification documents in the car and said, "They were very anxious, which made me feel that I should remain calm." Faced with the situation of language barrier and urgent time, Li Chuntao had a clear mind and calmly responded. He immediately contacted volunteer partners to seek solutions from teachers in the media field, and contacted the car driver to retrieve his work permit. Finally, Li Chuntao accompanied two media reporters back to the media village smoothly. It was almost midnight at the time. Before parting, these two foreign friends said to him, "Thank you. You are my brother!" A few words of gratitude were a recognition of "Little Qinghe".

As a volunteer in the field of competition technology operation in the FOP area of the Hangzhou Asian Games cricket division, the most important task of "Little Qinghe" Huang Tingwen is to protect the central lane of the competition venue. Due to the high requirement for the dryness of the clay in cricket matches, if it rains, it is necessary to cover the track and its surroundings with burlap or a huge raincloth 100 feet wide as soon as possible. Huang Tingwen said, "When it suddenly rains, we need to immediately lay the field; after the rain stops, we need to quickly pull out the rain cloth to ensure the smooth progress of the competition with the best field. This experience is very meaningful for our own growth, and I fully feel the spirit of dedication and unity of volunteers

When the "City of Asian Games" meets the "City of Volunteer Service", volunteers dressed in blue, orange, green, and red uniforms, with warm smiles and meticulous service, are active on the city streets, inside and outside the venues, and around the masses. The wind of civilization blows through West Lake, and the fragrance of the Asian Games fills the whole city.
