Highlights of the Asian Games:

1. The ceremonies and performances of the whole opening ceremony take water as the series and tide as the meaning, which embodies the tide of national style and shows the blending and agitation of China, Asia and the world in the new era. September 23rd coincides with the autumnal equinox solar terms, and it is also the sixth farmers' harvest festival in China. In this harvest season, the opening ceremony will incorporate the element of "osmanthus". Osmanthus fragrans is rich in fragrance, and it has become an important creative concept throughout the opening ceremony to carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture and display the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

2. The opening ceremony of Hangzhou Asian Games creatively adopted the way of "digital lighting". During the lighting of the main torch, more than 6,543.8+billion "digital torchbearers" will gather along the Qiantang River to form a visual digital torchbearer, who will light the main torch together with six torchbearers offline. This is the first time in human history to regenerate carbon waste and light the Asian Games flame with zero-carbon methanol.

3. In the form of digital fireworks, the opening ceremony shows the warm atmosphere of the highlights of the opening ceremony, and the audience can see unprecedented "fireworks" from a unique perspective.
