Since the start of 2026, the Shaanxi Provincial Five-Tier Mass Sports League and Community Games series have been rolled out steadily across Xianyang City, with events deeply rooted in local communities and accessible to all residents, effectively revitalizing the city's fitness culture. Statistics show that this year's Xianyang leg has hosted over 860 mass sports events in total, attracting more than 35,000 participants and drawing over 1.4 million spectators on-site, with full coverage across all 13 counties and districts in the city. The scale of events, number of participants, and geographic reach have all seen consistent growth.
This year's competitions have consistently adhered to a people-friendly, accessible, and benefit-driven organizing philosophy, focusing on residents' fitness needs by offering over a dozen highly approachable and broadly appealing sports, including square dancing, tai chi, badminton, chess, jump rope, and tug-of-war. The events strike a balance between fun and mass participation, feature diverse formats, and keep entry barriers low, precisely matching the sporting preferences of grassroots residents. They have effectively mobilized participation from government offices, communities, enterprises, rural areas, and schools, greatly enriching the cultural and spiritual lives of citizens and fostering a vibrant atmosphere of universal participation, fitness, and enjoyment.
The competition site of the Shaanxi Provincial Five-Tier Mass Sports League and Community Games (Xianyang leg) showcases the city's commitment to bringing sports to the grassroots and services closer to daily life. By relocating sports venues to residents' doorsteps — into neighborhoods, parks, and businesses — the initiative enables citizens to join competitions conveniently and exercise with ease, truly closing the "last mile" of public fitness services. This ensures that the dividends of sports accessibility reach grassroots communities directly, benefiting the wider public and laying a solid foundation for improving the quality and efficiency of mass sports programs.
With all city-level finals now concluded, Xianyang's next step is to intensify preparations for the provincial finals. Building on the strong platform of the provincial five-tier league and community games, the city will continue to deepen grassroots mass sports efforts, regularly organizing diversified, mainstream sporting activities. By actively encouraging residents to step out of their homes, enjoy sports, and embrace a healthy lifestyle, Xianyang aims to continuously ignite new vitality in nationwide fitness and enhance residents' sense of fulfillment and happiness through sports.
