Taking Double Dutch as a Medium to Build a Diversified Cultural Exchange Platform
A single Double Dutch rope connects cross-border friendship and exchanges. Athletes of different skin colors and languages gathered on the same field to connect through Double Dutch. As a featured segment, the International Double Dutch Training Camp invited several world champions to provide on-site guidance, building a platform for Chinese and foreign athletes to exchange skills and learn from each other.
The Carnival Market was extremely popular. The participation of catering and leisure brands such as Gaishi, Yuandong, and Sanshi, along with interactive activities including Frisbee Nine-Grid, Touhu (Pot Throwing), Cross Fire, Speed Basketball, and Dart Machine, created an immersive experience for audiences of all age groups.

Events Empower the City, Qingpu Leaps to a New Rhythm of Development
As the host of the China International Import Expo (CIIE) and a frontier for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, Qingpu has been exploring ways to better tell Chinese stories and showcase the city's charm in a more vivid manner. The dynamic and innovative sport of Double Dutch is highly aligned with Qingpu's development strategy of promoting the integration of six industries: agriculture, culture, tourism, commerce, sports, and exhibitions.
Known as "the first stop for inbound tourism to ancient Chinese towns" and "the preferred micro-vacation destination for urban residents", Qingpu is an ecological fertile land "where water, greenery, and the future coexist". Since taking the lead in promoting fancy jump rope in streets and towns in 2010, Qingpu has not only fostered a solid foundation in Huaxin Town where "everyone can jump rope and every village has a team" but also attracted global attention by successfully hosting eight sessions of Double Dutch Contest Shanghai.
Statistics show that during the event, the customer flow in surrounding business districts increased significantly, and hotel occupancy rates rose substantially, successfully converting the "traffic" of the event into an "increase" driving local consumption. With "Sports +" as the core, the event links Jiangnan culture, tourism experience, and commercial consumption, promoting the brand building of Qingpu and allowing every participant to feel the unique charm of "QCloser to Qingpu, Closer to Beauty".
A single thin rope connects 15 years of persistence in Qingpu, the love of all people, and the endless inheritance. In the future, Qingpu will continue to take events as a link to promote the in-depth integration of national fitness and the sports industry, and continuously empower the coordinated development of the "six industries", enabling the traditional sport of Double Dutch to radiate lasting vitality in the new journey of Qingpu's innovative development.
