The lights of the Asian Games Sailing Center, the venue for the sailing contests of the 19th Asian Games in 2022, recently entered the trial run stage.

Construction of the sports venue in the coastal county of Xiangshan in Ningbo, East China's Zhejiang province was completed on March 30.

Unlike other Asian Games venues, half of the center is located on land, while the other half is on the sea.

With a total investment of roughly 600 million yuan ($92.3 million), the center will be the first sports venue in Zhejiang qualified to host international A-level sports competitions.

The sailing competitions of the 14th National Games, featuring about 500 athletes from 20 teams across the country, are slated to be held in the center in September.
