广东国际划船中心

Guangdong International Rowing Centre occupies 106 hectares beside the Liuxi River at 136 Jinchang Road, Longtang Village, Zhongluotan Town, Baiyun District. Built from April 1998 and opened in June 2001, it is the boat-racing training base of the Guangdong Provincial Sports Bureau, operated by the Guangdong Provincial Rowing and Canoeing Training Centre. The centre created an artificial rowing lake 2,500 metres long and 160 metres wide, equipped with automatic starting gear, electronic timing, split-time towers, a finish tower and a large automatic scoring system, with 600 fixed seats. On land it provides a competition centre, media centre, athletes accommodation, training blocks, dining hall, boat house and gymnasium, plus two synthetic basketball courts, four synthetic tennis courts and a 400-metre athletics track. It has staged the rowing and canoeing events of the 9th National Games in 2001, the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games and the 15th National Games in 2025. For the 2025 Games the centre dredged the course and renovated the course infrastructure, buildings and landscaping between 2024 and 2025, and the racing course was reconfigured to 1,500 metres to match the standard planned for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. The centre is also the training base for the Guangdong rowing, canoeing and slalom squads, and parts of the course are open to the public, accommodating recreational kayaking, rowing and ergometer sessions for companies and community groups. The artificial lake is linked to the Liuxi River, which supplies and drains the course and helps regulate water quality and level. Telephone: 020-37418016.
