I have to say that the clear Fuchun River, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, is always a treasure for swimmers. On July 2, another 170 swimming enthusiasts from the whole province gathered here. The men’s and women’s mixed 3-kilometer drifting points challenge started at the Daqishan water platform, and the participants went down the river until they landed at the end of the Binjiang Ecological Park.
1:30pm, the whistle blew, Swimmers scramble to get into the water. The calm Fuchun River instantly burst into water, and the orange floating balls scattered on the river surface, adding a bit of vitality to the green mountains and waters.
This challenge not only invited Fuyang, Lin’an Swimming enthusiasts in the city, Jiande and other urban areas have also attracted swimmers in Yongkang, Pujiang, Wuyi and other cities outside the city to see the vivid picture of the Fuchun Mountains.
88-year-old Changsha native Tang Jiling put on swimming gear and slowly entered the water with her hands on the shore. Although she is old, she is still in good spirits. As soon as she enters the water, she is like a leaf, floating steadily on the water surface, this is “quiet floating”. Once, Tang Jiling also drifted quietly from the first bridge of Xiangjiang River in Changsha to the second bridge of Xiangjiang River. She has always loved water sports. She has lived in Tonglu for more than 10 years and takes care of her grandson, but no matter where she is, she maintains the habit of swimming and interprets the charm of sports by herself.
“I often swim here with these ‘old fritters’; Tonglu is a bit different from Hangzhou, the pace here is slower and more relaxing.” Spanish dad Xiaoxi said. He has been in Hangzhou for 10 years, and his wife is from Tonglu. Because he likes swimming, he has made many Chinese friends.
Zhang Minheng, Ma Ling and his wife drove to Tonglu from Yongkang early that morning. This was their first time to Tonglu. In his hometown of Yongkang, there is a reservoir where her husband Zhang Minheng often swims and has accumulated a lot of outdoor swimming experience. “Fuchun River is famous far and near, swimming here is very refreshing and unforgettable.” Zhang Minheng said.
Whether it’s a drifting point challenge, a rush Fuchun River Challenge, or canoeing competition, Fuchun River water sports has become a well-known “sports business card”, attracting many sports enthusiasts from all over the country. As one of the host cities of the Hangzhou Asian Games, Tonglu also has the responsibility to promote and promote national fitness. “Most of us are not professional athletes, so the competition is not for ranking, but to attract more sports enthusiasts to come to Fuchunjiang and Tonglu, to meet friends in the competition, to please the body and mind, to promote national fitness and promote Tonglu tourism.” Weng Ying, secretary general of Tonglu County Swimming Association, said.
