[2025 Hangzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Hangzhou Asian Games Museum (Updated Feb)

The Asian Games is the largest and highest-level comprehensive sports event in Asia, organized by the Olympic Council of Asia and held every four years. The Asian Games originated from the Far Eastern Championship Games and the West Asian Games, which were established in 1912 by China, Japan, and the Philippines. The first Asian Games was originally scheduled to be held in New Delhi, India, in February 1949, but was postponed to 1951. China has hosted the Asian Games three times: the 11th Asian Games in Beijing in 1990, the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou in 2010, and the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou in 2023. You must visit the Asian Games Museum on the first basement floor of the Olympic Sports Center. In addition to unlocking the champion wall, don't forget to check in at the Year of the Snake limited edition color stamps and the Asian Games one-year anniversary sand fridge magnets! The champion wall of Datou and Shasha is at the top!

The Hangzhou Asian Games set several records, including the most participating countries and regions, the youngest athletes, and the coolest digital torch lighting ceremony. It also featured the most events, including new events popular with young people such as skateboarding, breakdancing, and esports. The Asian Games Museum is located on the B1 floor of the Olympic Sports Center. It features a torch model, the "Huaxia Tongxin" podium table and chairs from the opening ceremony, and costumes from the ceremony and volunteers. The dragon pattern symbolizes wealth and good fortune, while the scroll pattern represents endless vitality. The combination of the two symbolizes prosperity and longevity. Of course, the Champion Wall is the most popular photo spot! Many girls hold Wang Chuqin's materials and exchange cards. The atmosphere is great!

The Hangzhou Asian Games Museum has an exhibition area of about 5,400 square meters and consists of three exhibition halls: "Asian Games and Hangzhou," "Asian Games and Asia," and "Asian Games and the Future." It recreates the wonderful journey of Hangzhou's bid, preparation, and hosting of the Asian Games, and is an important legacy of the Asian Games, as well as a valuable testimony to Hangzhou's contribution to Asian sports. The Hangzhou Asian Games Museum has been awarded the title of "Officially Certified Museum of the Olympic Council of Asia." The museum is free to visit and takes about 40 minutes to visit.
