宁波象山亚帆中心

Xiangshan Asian Sailing Center, also known as China Zhejiang Ocean Sports Center, occupies a stretch of the Songlanshan resort coast in Xiangshan County, Ningbo. It was built as the sailing and windsurfing venue for the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou and is the only Games venue that sits half on land and half at sea. The project cost about 602 million yuan and covers 15.3 hectares of land and 47 hectares of sea. On shore, 16,000 square metres hold the athletes' center, race control and logistics buildings; offshore, a 20,000 square metre race operations platform, a 336,000 square metre harbour basin and 240 berths (about 800 are planned) are protected by two breakwaters that keep the inner bay calm. Water temperatures of 10 to 32 degrees Celsius and an average wind of 4.5 metres per second make the area usable for sailing almost all year. Fourteen sailing gold medals were decided here during the Asian Games. In April 2024 the centre obtained a port operating licence, allowing 116 yacht berths to take visiting boats legally, and in November 2024 the Asian Sailing Federation named it a High-Level Training Base, a status held in Asia only by China and Oman. China Ningbo No.1, a professional offshore racing team, has since made the centre its home port. After the Games the venue has hosted the China-CEEC International Sailing Regatta, the Meisha Cup national youth sailing finals and the Ningbo International Sailing Regatta, while opening yacht experiences and coastal visits to the public. The buildings take their shape from the fishing boats of the Xiangshan fishing festival and step up the hillside so that rooflines meet the ridge.
