As the 15th National Games approach in 2025, Shenzhen's Yantian Dameisha coastal area is emerging as a groundbreaking example of ecological sports infrastructure. The OCT East resort, spanning nearly 9 square kilometers of mountain-sea terrain, has become a living demonstration of China's 'National Games for All' philosophy through its seamless integration of forest trails, lakeside paths, and competition-ready facilities.
This innovative space allows visitors to hike through subtropical forests in the morning and attend professional sporting events by afternoon. Local authorities emphasize that OCT East's design preserves 80% of original vegetation while creating multi-purpose venues for both elite athletes and public recreation.
With the National Games opening ceremonies just months away, the site is completing final upgrades to host aquatic and endurance events. The development stands as a case study for sustainable urban planning, attracting attention from international sports organizations and environmental researchers alike.
