Step into Chengdu this summer, and you’ll feel the city’s heartbeat sync with the rhythm of sports! 🏋️♂️ From bustling streets to lively parks, the capital of Sichuan Province is hosting The World Games—a global celebration of athleticism and cultural connection. CGTN reporter Wang Tao grabbed a rope (literally) and joined locals and travelers in an impromptu tug-of-war, proving that sports truly have no borders.
💬 "I didn’t expect to bond with strangers over a rope," laughed Maria, a backpacker from Spain. "But here, everyone’s a teammate." From students to entrepreneurs, the games are drawing crowds eager to cheer, compete, and share stories. Did you know Chengdu is home to over 20 million people—and counting? Yet, this mega-city feels like a close-knit community when sports take center stage.
With events ranging from parkour to drone racing, The World Games mirrors Chengdu’s blend of tradition and innovation. 🚀 As night falls, street vendors dish out spicy Sichuan hotpot while fans debate the day’s highlights. One thing’s clear: whether you’re here for the medals or the málà flavor, Chengdu’s energy is contagious.
