Asian Games site: Can it be turned into a public sphere?

Guangzhou - It used to be a water-filled arena in downtown Guangzhou that stunned athletes from China and overseas, as well as visitors, at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Asian Games.

Now, tiny Haixinsha Island is set to become an open area for entertaining the local people. And how will they do that?

One idea local authorities have for turning the island into an entertainment center is to organize something like 10 consecutive shows that replicate the opening and closing ceremonies of the Asian Games, held here last November.
