"We are delighted to live here. The Chinese people here are very kind to us, and we also like them very much." Ritiz, a Nepalese table tennis player who lives in the FISU Games Village, said happily. Ritiz hangs his ID strap with various badges, including the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, a map of China, "Rongbao" who plays table tennis, social battery emoticon, etc. There are also three cute little panda dolls lying on the strap.

In the Village, exchanging badges is a way for athletes from different countries and regions to share their feelings. Ritiz said excitedly, "I made many friends here and had a great time. I really like pandas and will go to the Panda Base with my friends tomorrow. Of course, the hot pot in Chengdu must also be tasted! I can’t wait to try these delicious foods."

Located on the campus of Chengdu University, FISU Games Village is built on the base of the construction and transformation of Chengdu University with a total area of about 800,000 square meters and can accommodate 11,000 people. The Village consists of the residential, operation, international and transportation areas which will provide accommodation, catering, fitness, commerce, leisure and entertainment, cultural exchanges, and other services for athletes.

To enrich the leisure life of athletes, during the competition, a series of cultural activities will be launched in the Village every day, such as art carnival evening parties, experience activities of Chinese traditional culture and Chinese intangible cultural heritage, park city art exhibitions, etc. for athletes.

Mariana, a track and field athlete from Portugal, said that this is her first time coming to China. "The environment here is really good, and the people are also very friendly. I can’t wait to see pandas." She also mentioned her experience of traditional Chinese cultural activities in the Village and the opportunity to learn Chinese several times, which is a bit difficult. She has already included learning Chinese in her plan.

"Living in the Village is really comfortable. I met new friends from different countries here. There are many guides and volunteers around us, which is really important. They help us better get used to local life," said Ravan, a badminton player from Azerbaijan. In the interview, he mentioned more than once, "Chinese people are really enthusiastic, and I am really happy to be here. This is really great!"

周到的服务和丰富的活动，让外国运动员在大运村收获快乐和友谊

“住在这里我们真的太开心了。这里的中国人对我们很好，我们也很喜欢他们。”住在成都大运会大运村的尼泊尔乒乓球运动员Ritiz开心地表示。Ritiz的证件带上挂着各式各样的徽章，有电子科技大学、中国地图、打乒乓球的“蓉宝”、社交电量表情包……还有三只可爱的小熊猫公仔趴在带子上。

在大运村，交换徽章是来自不同国家和地区的运动员们交流情感的一种方式。Ritiz一脸兴奋地说：“在这里我认识了很多朋友，玩得非常愉快。我很喜欢熊猫，明天就要和朋友们一起去熊猫基地了。当然，成都的火锅也必须安排上！我已经迫不及待想要尝试这些美食了。”

成都大运村位于成都大学校园内，依托成都大学校园建设、改造而成。总占地面积约80万平方米，能容纳11000人入住。大运村由居住区、运行区、国际区和交通区4部分组成，为运动员代表团提供住宿、餐饮、健身、商业休闲娱乐、文化交流等多项服务。

为丰富运动员的休闲生活，在赛事运行期间，大运村每天会推出一系列文化活动，诸如艺术嘉年华主题晚会、中国传统文化、中国非遗文化体验活动、公园城市主题艺术展等，供运动员们体验。

来自葡萄牙的田径运动员Mariana表示，这是她第一次来到中国，“这里的环境真的很好，人们也都很友善。我已经迫不及待想要去看熊猫了。”她还提到在大运村里体验了中国传统文化活动，找机会学了几次中文，尽管有点难，但自己已经把学中文这件事列入计划中了。

“住在大运村真的很舒服，我在这里认识了来自不同国家的新朋友。周围有很多的指引和志愿者，这真的很重要，他们帮助我们更好地融入当地的生活。”来自阿塞拜疆的羽毛球运动员Ravan如是说。在采访中他不止一次提到，“中国人真的很热情，我真的很开心能够来到这里，这真是太棒了！”
