Sur le territoire d’Heluo, des silhouettes à la poursuite de leurs rêves s’élancent et la vitalité de la ville s’épanouit au rythme du progrès. Le matin du 1er janvier, face au premier rayon de soleil du Nouvel An, la course de course de fond et de semi-marathon du jour de l’An « Zhongyuan Bank Cup » 2025 dans la ville de Luoyang a commencé passionnément au Centre sportif de Luoyang. Plus de 10 000 participants d’ici et d’ailleurs ont accueilli la nouvelle année sous la forme d’une course à pied.
La course de longue distance du Nouvel An est un événement de marque pour la campagne nationale de remise en forme dans la ville de Luoyang. Il s’est tenu pour la 45e session. Chaque année, le nombre de participants dépasse les 10 000. C’est l’activité de fitness nationale avec le plus grand nombre de participants et la plus grande influence à Luoyang, et c’est aussi le moyen préféré des citoyens amateurs de sport de célébrer l’arrivée de la nouvelle année. Depuis 2020, la course de longue distance du Nouvel An de Luoyang a exploré et réformé le mode de tenue de l’événement, en ajoutant un semi-marathon pour créer un festin de marathon qui allie professionnalisme, valeur ornementale et sens de l’expérience pour les coureurs.
With the theme of “Always Moving Forward in the New Year”, this New Year’s Day long-distance running event set up six project categories, including the half-marathon, the group of municipal organs, the fun run group, the parent-child run group, the student group, and the disabled group. The shortest distance was 3 kilometers, and the longest was 21.0975 kilometers, attracting more than 10,000 contestants to sign up for the event. Among them, the athletes participating in the half-marathon set off from the Luoyang Sports Center and went all the way north, passing through famous scenic spots or urban landmarks such as the Sui and Tang Dynasties City Ruins Botanical Garden, the Luoyang Museum, the Luoyang City Balcony, the Site of the Emperor’s Six-horse-drawn Chariot, the Paradise and Mingtang, and the Ying Tianmen. The finish line was located at the Dingdingmen Site Museum. During the running process, runners not only felt the joy of sports but also experienced the cultural deposits of Luoyang, an ancient capital with a history of thousands of years, as if traveling through time and space and having a dialogue with history.
Taking the event as a medium, cultural tourism prospers together. A marathon invites people to Luoyang City. This event has also officially kicked off the prelude to the “Traveling Through the Flourishing Tang Dynasty in Luoyang for the New Year” – Luoyang City’s cultural tourism activities for the “Double Festivals” in 2025!
During the “Double Festivals”, Luoyang has carefully created three theme scenes based on the new concept of cultural tourism development. When you come to Luoyang, you can travel through the Sui and Tang Dynasties Luoyang City and immerse yourself in experiencing the ritual sense of “Celebrating the New Year in the Palace”, such as having the imperial court’s New Year’s Eve dinner, the Grand Court Ceremony on New Year’s Day, Nuo Opera performances, and lighting the courtyard torches. You can also go to the Luoyi Ancient City to feel the hustle and bustle of “Celebrating the New Year in the Neighborhoods”, like making wishes and praying for good fortune, receiving blessings from the God of Literature, sending off the God of Poverty, and attending Hanfu weddings. Moreover, you can enjoy the magical atmosphere of “Celebrating the New Year on the Heavenly Street”, such as the imperial guards clearing the way, wandering performers singing songs, thousands of lights shining on the lamp trees, and the glorious splendor filling the air. Besides, there are also characteristic cultural tourism activities like the “Fireworks over Luoyang in the First Month of the Lunar Year” Spring Festival fireworks show and the “Mysterious Night at the Museum”. More than a hundred cultural tourism promotional activities that benefit the people, such as the Longmen Market and the Spring Festival New Year Goods Market, will unlock more new ways to enjoy the Spring Festival in the Divine Capital for you!
