East China’s Jiangsu province has focused on improving the people’s health and quality of life, meeting the people’s growing demand for a better life, accelerating the construction of a sports-centered province, and comprehensively promoting the coordinated development of mass sports, competitive sports and the sports industry so that Jiangsu is realizing the goal that sports make life better.
Nanjing Gaoqiaomen Sports Park, with beautiful scenery and pleasant environment, has specially set up walks and smart sports fitness equipment, making it a new place for people around to exercise and relax.
More than a year ago, the park was a barren land overgrown with weeds. After environmental improvement, ecological restoration, and construction of sports supporting facilities, a multi-functional and convenient sports park with the theme of sports and leisure was displayed in front of the citizens, making the dream of "exercising at home" a reality.Jiangsu has also made full use of the excellent sports resources to promote the integration of sports and education, and coordinate the development of cultural learning and physical exercise for the youngsters.
In recent years, in coordination with economic and social development, Jiangsu has made great progress in the development of sports by making sports an important part of the good life for Jiangsu people.
Last year, Jiangsu reported 488.18 billion yuan of sports industry output value, which accounted for 1.6% of the province’s GDP. The province has built more than 12 thousand kilometers of fitness walks and 1,016 sports parks, with a per capita sports area of 3.15 square meters.
