Samaranch Memorial
The Samaranch Memorial Hall is located in the Health Industry Park in the west area of Tuanbo New Town, Jinghai County, Tianjin, China. It was opened to the public on April 21, 2013. The memorial hall was founded by Mr. Wu Jingguo, Executive Member of the International Olympic Committee and President of the International Boxing Federation. It is the only venue in the world authorized by the Samaranch family and approved by the International Olympic Committee to commemorate Mr. Samaranch and spread the Olympic spirit. The Samaranch Memorial Hall is now a formal member of the International Olympic Museum Alliance and has been listed as a national 4A-level scenic spot. Mr. Wu Jingguo served as a member of the International Olympic Committee for more than 20 years. He established a deep friendship with Mr. Samaranch and had a deep understanding of Mr. Samaranch's ideals and pursuits throughout his life. Before his death, Mr. Samaranch donated more than 16,578 pieces of his lifelong collection to his close friend Mr. Wu Jingguo. In order to allow the world to have a place to remember and admire this great Olympic man and leave a witness to the history of the Olympics, Mr. Wu Jingguo founded the Samaranch Memorial Hall. The Samaranch Memorial Hall covers an area of 216 mu, with a construction area of about 19,000 square meters and an exhibition area of 4,000 square meters, extending in a gentle slope. There are no stairs throughout the whole process, providing barrier-free space for elderly and physically disabled visitors. The main building presents the effect of two circles intersecting. One is the shape of "8" to commemorate the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games; the second is the shape of "S" to represent the first letter of Samaranch's name "Samaranch"; the third is that the shape symbolizes infinite development and eternity. The building adopts the design of a ring and a circular ramp, organically combining the two buildings and three sunken courtyards. The five circles represent the five Olympic rings, symbolizing that the Olympic movement unites the five continents. The exhibition area is divided into 14 units, displaying various books, stamps, souvenirs, art sculptures, paintings, letters, photos, personal items related to him, and extremely precious documents related to the Olympic Committee collected by Samaranch. The memorial hall was designed by RAA, a world-renowned museum design consulting company. It breaks through the traditional novel shape. Through on-site restoration, image, sound and light and other exhibition methods, visitors feel as if they are in a science fiction world. Surrounding the main building are lifelike Olympic sports sculptures and vast garden landscapes. There is also an 89-foot-high fountain to commemorate Mr. Samaranch's 89 years of passion. Plants, fountains, sculptures and buildings complement each other and are perfectly integrated. In the main building of the Samaranch Memorial Hall, in addition to displaying Mr. Samaranch's lifelong collections, there are also lecture halls, temporary exhibition halls, winter gardens, etc., which can be used to hold various press conferences, seminars, exhibitions, corporate annual meetings, and activities. The memorial hall also has a Spanish-style restaurant, souvenir shop, and sports experience area, making the memorial hall a diversified comprehensive platform. In order to implement the Olympic diversified mission, the Samaranch Memorial Hall actively cooperates with the Tianjin Municipal Education Commission, Science and Technology Commission, and Sports Bureau to promote the construction of various "practice bases" and launch various educational and competition activities to enable young people to develop a healthy outlook on life from sports and exercise from an early age and change their lives.
Beijing Olympic Rowing & Rowing Park
The Beijing Olympic Rowing and Water Park has a water surface area of about 635,000 square meters, a green area of about 580,000 square meters, and a greening rate of over 82%. Together with the greening of the surrounding areas, it has become a veritable natural oxygen bar. Walking into the Shunyi Olympic Rowing and Water Park, the view will become suddenly broad. The 2,272-meter-long still water track is as clear as spring water and sparkling. The stadium is surrounded by green trees, blue water and blue sky, which complement each other. The logo of the Beijing Olympic Rowing and Water Park is drawn with traditional Chinese brush lines, reflecting the rich Chinese cultural heritage. The colors use the five colors of the Olympic rings, symbolizing the perfect combination of ancient oriental civilization and modern Olympic spirit. The logo image is a variant of a rowing athlete, which has the image characteristics of a rowing athlete paddling with his back to the finish line, and the image characteristics of a canoeist paddling with both hands holding the paddle. The blue-green water pattern in the middle further highlights the characteristics of the water sports. "SHUNYI 2008" also uses a sporty font to highlight the venue and time of the event. The entire composition is dynamic and has a strong sense of movement. In the composition, the red stripe is a variant of the Chinese pinyin initial consonant "S" of the Chinese character "Shun", and together with the yellow stripe, it forms a variant of the Chinese pinyin initial consonant "Y" of the Chinese character "Yi". At the same time, black, red and yellow together form the Chinese character "Yi". The blue and green stripes below symbolize that Shunyi Olympic Water Park and Chaobai River Forest Park are adjacent to each other and set off each other, forming the new Shunyi city heritage of "taking the river as the foundation, water as the soul, and forest as the rhyme". The step-by-step upward water pattern and the text composition of "SHUNYI 2008" also symbolize that the people of Shunyi seize the opportunity of the Olympics, carry forward the Shunyi spirit of "working together, scientific innovation, being down-to-earth, and pursuing excellence" on the road of building a socialist harmonious society and "working together to build a well-off society in an all-round way and creating a green international port", and continue to forge ahead and have an uplifting spirit. The Beijing Olympic Rowing Park has a total area of 9.2 square kilometers. From south to north, it consists of four parts: Lighthouse Square, World Sailing Base, Wanpingkou Ecological Square and Water Sports Base. At present, the landscape parts of Wanpingkou Ecological Square, World Sailing Base and Lighthouse Square of Beijing Olympic Rowing Park have been completed and are open to tourists. If you have enough time to take a walk around Beijing Olympic Rowing Park, you will definitely find more things related to water and water sports. For example, the bridge between the rowing competition field and the canoeing competition field has two arches of different heights on both sides of the bridge, which are in the shape of waves. Even the floor tiles on the bridge are paved in the same style. There is also the management area of the International Rowing Federation and the boathouse area where athletes park their rowing boats. Both adopt the arc-shaped architectural style, which looks like waves on the water and canoes moving forward courageously.
