Shenzhen‘s Nanshan District Prepares to Showcase City’s Innovation During National Games
Shenzhen, China – Nanshan District, a key hub within the Greater Bay Area, is finalizing preparations to host portions of the 15th National Games, aiming to present a compelling vision of Shenzhen’s technological advancement and commitment to inclusive sporting events. The district is leveraging both existing infrastructure and cutting-edge technology to ensure a seamless and engaging experience for athletes and spectators alike.
Nanshan District views the games as a meaningful prospect to highlight Shenzhen’s dynamism and its role as a leading force in the Greater Bay Area. Beyond simply hosting events, the district is undertaking substantial upgrades to its venues, focusing on accessibility, intelligent systems, and sustainability.
the Nanshan Cultural and Sports center, slated to host women’s under-18 volleyball competitions, has been retrofitted with barrier-free access, including dedicated wheelchair seating. Moreover, the venue is integrating smart technologies such as advanced timing and scoring systems, on-site imaging capabilities, and automated flag-raising systems. Crucially, the core guarantee project for the center has been completed and passed inspection.
Similarly, the iconic Shenzhen Bay Sports Center – recognizable by its “Spring Cocoon” design – will host women’s under-22 basketball. This venue is implementing the “Zheng Smart” VOC digital twin platform, utilizing Kaihong technology to establish a Hongmeng IoT scene and facilitate seamless communication within the venue’s command center. Like the Cultural and Sports Center, the core guarantee project at Shenzhen Bay Sports Center has also been successfully completed and approved. The goal is to create a modern, digitally-integrated, and environmentally conscious sporting environment.
Readiness extends beyond physical infrastructure.Nanshan District recently conducted a comprehensive emergency drill at the Nanshan Cultural and sports Center, simulating game-day scenarios – including traffic management, power supply contingencies, and ensuring a positive spectator experience – to refine coordination between various departments.
To build excitement and public engagement, the district is utilizing LED screens in prominent locations like Coast City, Shenzhen Bay Port, and subway stations (Taoyuan and Houhai) to display National Games-themed posters. These locations are also being transformed into themed check-in points for fans.
Nanshan is also investing in the next generation of athletes, having hosted the 2025 Nanshan District Youth Sports Summer Camp, themed “Chasing Dreams in the 15th Era, Youth Vitality Tour,” to foster a passion for sports among young people. Wider community sports activities are also underway to encourage participation and build a supportive atmosphere for the Games.
