To Say Goodbye to the Old Year and Welcome the New, Do Exercises and Watch Performances and Lanterns in the Sports Center
During New Year’s Day holidays just ended,
though cold weather, many citizens walked out from their homes and got to the Sports Center.
With the enthusiasm of ‘getting moved’, fitness fans embraced the warm sun of
the winter. ‘I come to the stadium to play badminton. It is a refreshing day by
sweating slightly’, said citizen Mr. Wang, ‘I will not miss the opportunity
that stadiums of the Sports Center is open to the
public at low charges or for free. I feel good that I can exercise my body at
reasonable price.’
On January 2, ‘2018 Baoli Dalian New Year
Concert’ was held in Damai Center (Dalian Sports
Center-Stadium). Five famous singers, Jonathan Lee, Chyi Chin, Dave
Wang, David Lui, and Jeremy Chang Hung-Liang not only offered a warm
audiovisual feast for the audience but also brought back to the youth memories
of their fans. A fan Mr. Li said, ‘these five singers are the evergreen in the
song circle, and they were also my favorite singers when I was young. During
the New Year’s Day, I came to the Sports Center for the second
time. I just came to the Center for swimming yesterday and today I came for a
concert. The Sports Center is a place that
citizens frequently go to.’
What surprised citizens most was the Sports Center had been lit up by dazzling and colorful light when evening just fell, looking
like a dream world. With colorful and changing lights, each stadium seemed to
be in gorgeous ‘clothes’. And in the square, fancy light extended like a
beautiful luminous band. You could see ones with sports elements, and ‘Zodiac
Dog’ light in cutie pattern. Lawns, shrubs, and roadside trees were all in
neon. No matter you were walking, riding, taking a bus or driving on the road,
you could see the brilliant night view extended like a picture roll. Citizens
took pictures in the dazzling colorful light and put the happiness and blessings
for the New Year into their hearts.
