Liangjiang New Area in Southwest China's Chongqing municipality organized various activities to attract the participation of residents on Aug 8, which was also China's 12th National Fitness Day.

People from Liangjiang's sub-districts and schools participated in basketball, aerobics, square dancing, taijiquan and rope skipping demonstrations at the launch ceremony.

Some of Liangjiang's public sports venues opened to the public for free on Aug 8, and will extend their hours of operation with reduced entrance fees in the following days to encourage more residents to do sports.

The overall physical fitness level of Liangjiang's residents is excellent, with all major indicators reaching the national standards. Also, the variety of district- and sub-district-level fitness activities in Liangjiang is getting richer every year.

In 2019, over 240,000 residents in Liangjiang engaged in physical exercise at least once a week, accounting for two-thirds of the area's registered population. Meanwhile, roughly 180,000 people – more than half of the area's registered population – "often" exercised.

In response to the ongoing epidemic prevention measures, Liangjiang is promoting the "internet + sports" scheme by developing an online fitness service platform that integrates WeChat accounts, apps and video platforms.
