ASIAN GAMES 2010
The 2010 Asian Games, also known as the XVI
Asiad, was a multi-sport event in Guangzhou,
China that began on 12 November and finished
on 27 November 2010. Guangzhou was the
second Chinese city to host the Games, after
Beijing in 1990. A total of 476 events in 42
sports was contested by athletes, making it
the largest event in the history of the Games.

ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT
Like the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Guangzhou
also attempted to raise the air quality of the city.
The authority had pledged ￥600 million to fight the
problem, and had ordered around 32 chemical
plants to stop production by the end of 2009. A
report shown on July 13, 2010 indicated that the air
quality was rated at 95.07% in 2009, an increase of
12.01% since 2004; this improvement eventually
cost authorities ￥24 billion.

BID
On July 1, 2004, Guangzhou was awarded the
right to host the Games; the decision was
announced in Doha, Qatar. This decision came
after several other cities withdrew due to
separate reasons. Seoul withdrew after
considering the short span of time between
2002 and 2010, because South Korea hosted
the 2002 Games eight years before in Bussan.
Kuala Lumpur was forced to withdraw its bid
after it was boycotted by the cabinet due to
the high cost of hosting the Games, leaving
Guangzhou as the sole bidder.

MASCOT
“Le Yangyang” are the mascots for the
2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou. They are
named A Xiang, A He, A Ru, A Yi and Le
Yang Yang. Together, their names
phonetically (Xiang He Ru Yi Le Yangyang)
mean peace, harmony, and great
happiness. It is meant as a symbol of
Guangzhou people’s hope that the Asian
Games will bring luck, harmony, joy,
success, and great happiness.
