An oar-inspiring city

The overall design of the center features boat and sports-related elements. Viewed from above, the center looks like a dragon resting on a river bank.

The races for the Asian Games will be held on professional courses rather than natural waterways, and the Wenzhou Dragon Boat Sports Centre features a new course that is 1,200 meters in length, 130 meters in breadth and is 3.5 meters deep, with six main tracks, one secondary track, and a buffer zone.

Dragon boat racing became an official event of the Asian Games for the first time at the 2010 edition in Guangzhou.
