James Baquet ON a recent research trip, I ran across a large map of the Metro system which, although not a complete list of Universiade venues, did highlight the venues which can be accessed from various Metro stations. Here they are, line-by-line, in more-or-less west-to-east or south-to-north order. Line 1 (Luobao Line): Bao’an Stadium (Baoti 宝体): Bao’an Sports Center Gymnasium (宝安体育中心体育馆), 40,000 seats, football competition Bao’an Center (Bao’an Zhongxin 宝安中心), where Line 1 crosses Line 5 (Huanzhong Line): Bao’an Stadium (宝安区体育场), nearly 8,200 seats Shenzhen University (Shenda 深大): Yuanping Gymnasium (元平体育馆) at Shenzhen University, 2,200 seats, volleyball competition Chegongmiao (车公庙): Shenzhen Senior High School Gymnasium (深圳市高级中学体育馆), over 2,500 seats Shenzhen Converntion and Exhibition Center (Huizhan Zhongxin 会展中心), where Line 1 crosses Line 4 (Longhua Line): Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center (深圳会展中心), where related exhibitions will be held Line 2 (Shekou Line): Houhai (后海): Shenzhen Bay Sports Center (深圳湾体育中心), the Spring Cocoon, is a main venue where the opening ceremony and numerous competitons will be held; features “one stadium and two gymnasiums” Line 3 (Longgang Line): Tongxinling (通新岭): Shenzhen Gymnasium (深圳体育馆) and Shenzhen Stadium (深圳体育场), with 34,900 seats; football competitions and the sub-press center Universiade (Dayuan大运): Site of the Universiade Village. Nearby venues include the Universiade Center Stadium (深圳市大运中心体育场) with 60,000 seats; Universiade Center Natatorium (大运中心游泳馆), 2,800 seats for swimming competitions Line 5 (Huanzhong Line): Xili (西丽): Shenzhen Polytechnic Gymnasium (深圳职业技术学院体育馆). The map shows it at Liuxiandong Station, but that’s the west campus; I have it on good authority that the volleyball competition will be on the east campus, at Xili Station. Besides, the east campus gymnasium is the one illustrated on the map! University Town (Daxue Cheng 大学城) University Town gymnasium (大学城体育馆) with nearly 5,700 seats. |
