* They will erect 3 stands seating over 35,000 people, aswell as seating along the Pearl River. The actual performances will take place in the central part of the Island.
* The ceremony is being directed by Chen Weiya, who said he was inspired by the island as it has the shape of a sailing boat heading east, from a birds eye view.
* He has described the *colour of the ceremony* as being blue. He has also said it will be a big surprise and different from all ceremonies.
A total of 476 events in 42 sports will be contested by athletes, making it the largest event in history of the Games. It will also be the last one to have presented such big events, as the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) have enforced new hosting rules for future games, beginning with the 2014 Games.
Guangzhou was awarded the right on July 1, 2004, as the sole bidding city. This came after the withdrawal of several cities, from Amman, Kuala Lumpur and Seoul. The games will also be co-hosted by Dongguan, Foshan and Shanwei, the three neighbouring cities.
The five goats: A Xiang (?), A He (?), A Ru (?), A Yi (?) and Le Yangyang (???), are a play on Guangzhou’s nickname, “City of Goats”. Moreover, the Chinese character “yang” or “goat” is also an auspicious symbol because, when read together, the Chinese names of the five goats are a message of blessing, literally meaning “harmony, blessings, success and happiness” (???????).
Venues include: Guangzhou Gymnasium, Guangdong Olympic Stadium, Tianhe Stadium, Fangcun Tennis Center, University Town, Guangdong International Rowing Centre, Huang Pu Sports Centre Gymnasium, Yan Zi Gang Stadium, Guangdong Peoples’ Stadium, Guangdong Olympic Tennis Centre and Yuexiushan Stadium.
Twenty20 cricket is among the debutant sports, with dancesport, dragon boat, weiqi and roller sport added as unique to the Games. Bodybuilding was dropped due to judging controversy in the 2006 Games.
