In the Chengdu World Games Village, a vibrant fusion of technology and culture is redefining the international sporting event experience.

Picture this: a Portuguese athlete, wearing AR translation glasses, chatting with a German competitor about the deep meanings behind Sichuan's face-changing opera. The bilingual subtitles on the lens instantly break down the language barrier.

Meanwhile, an American athlete says "GoGo, take me to the panda store," and a smart robot dog, carrying a plush Shu Bao mascot, guides him through a traditional market where bamboo lanterns cast a soft glow. This "tech + culture" global debut in Chengdu is showcasing a new level of warmth in international sports services.

A Network of "Sichuan-Style Happiness" Woven with Technology

In the village's "Future Brocade City," a commercial and leisure zone, the smart translation glasses developed by Sichuan's Yingmu Technology have become a hot commodity. These AR devices provide simultaneous interpretation for over 40 languages, allowing athletes from more than 100 countries and regions to discuss everything from game strategy to the perfect cooking time for tripe in a hotpot. "I have to take a pair home!" an American athlete said, excitedly recording his experience.

Not far away, "GoGo," a robot dog is seen carrying luggage in the sun. Its waterproof and windproof design and 50kg weight capacity make it an all-weather "super guide."

From lodging and training to leisure and communication, technology is subtly reshaping the athletes' "Sichuan-style life." At the "Yao Dong Magic Cube," a large interactive LED screen developed by Guangyao Hengtuo, athletes hit a virtual ball with a racket at speeds up to 150 km/h, receiving real-time data on their shot placement. Manicure robots create intricate nail art with the World Games logo and panda patterns in just five seconds.

In the residential green spaces, physical mosquito killers create a "no-fly zone," while underwater robots with 4K cameras patrol the pools, using double suction to eliminate even micron-sized contaminants. This technological symphony is a testament to Chengdu's innovation, with 90% of the solutions developed locally.

A Global Living Room: Where Heritage Meets Modernity

When the high-tech robot dog turns a corner and enters a commercial street filled with traditional aesthetics, it's a perfect collision of future and past. This unique street is a hub for intangible cultural heritage, featuring artisan crafts, immersive experiences, and creative retail. It's not just a convenient space for daily needs; it's a "miniature stage" for cultural exchange and a "global living room."

An Austrian athlete carefully selected a newly painted fan with a panda on it and had the Chinese characters for "health and peace" inscribed on it as a gift for his grandmother. "The cultural charm here is captivating!" he said. A Brazilian athlete, who has 15 cats, was delighted to find a lacquerware cat figurine for her mother. "Everything here is just great!" she exclaimed.

At the booth of Liu Luolin, a deaf-mute inheritor of Chongzhou Daoming bamboo weaving, artisans use their phones to communicate with visitors. Liu's unique lacquer and bamboo woven teaware, which combines pandas, lacquer art, and bamboo weaving, has drawn many athletes who stop to take photos. The warm light from bamboo lampshades made by disabled artisans illuminates the powerful resilience of cultural heritage.

The "Chengdu Gifts" creative store has been a hit since the village opened. Over 200 products, including items related to cultural heritage, trendy toys, and city souvenirs, are on display. Members of the Hungarian delegation left with their hands full, their bags filled with panda-themed paper fans, Shu brocade bracelets, and cuddly panda plush toys, each a cherished memento of their time in Chengdu.

As night falls, under the glow of bamboo lanterns, athletes can be found trying their hands at making shadow puppets and Shu embroidery. The scent of mugwort from the traditional Chinese medicine center wafts through the streets, adding a tranquil layer to this cross-cultural encounter.

From meticulous health management to subtle environmental protection, and from immersive cultural experiences to sustainable practices, the Chengdu World Games Village leverages the city's robust innovation to transform the event's "simple, safe, and wonderful" philosophy into the athletes’ daily reality. Here, "tech + culture" creates more than just an efficient and convenient lifestyle; it makes "Sichuan-style happiness" a tangible experience. It is the harmony of technology and human care, the embrace of cultural heritage and a global perspective, and a warm memory woven together by friends from all over the world.
