Harbin, known for its icy sculptures and winter festivities, is bustling with new arrivals—not tourists, but the second convoy of China Media Group's (CMG) renowned \"Chinese Red\" live broadcasting vehicles. These state-of-the-art units have journeyed over 1,300 kilometers from Beijing, signaling the ramp-up to the 2025 Asian Winter Games.
The fleet, a technological marvel, includes ultra-high-definition broadcasting vans, auxiliary support units, audio labs on wheels, and cutting-edge equipment trucks. Upon arrival in the host city, five of these vehicles headed straight to the Heilongjiang Ice Sports Training Center—set to be the stage for the intense short track speed skating and the elegance of figure skating competitions.
Meanwhile, other units made their way to the Harbin International Conference, Exhibition, and Sports Center. Here, preparations are underway to capture every moment of the grandeur of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
Understanding the harsh Siberian winds that sweep through Harbin, organizers have constructed a specialized \"warming shed\" at the Ice Sports Training Center's courtyard. Equipped with eight continuously running air conditioners, this facility ensures that the sensitive broadcasting equipment remains operational despite the frigid temperatures.
During the upcoming Asian Winter Games, CMG will hold the crucial role of producing live signals for both short track speed skating and figure skating events. As athletes refine their skills, the media teams are equally gearing up to bring the excitement to viewers across Asia and beyond. The short track speed skating events are slated to kick off on February 7, promising a thrilling start to the Games.
