A scoreboard set up for the beach volleyball match held during the 2015 China Hunan International Tourism Festival
The construction of beach volleyball court was in full swing at the Beach Park of Changde on the evening of Sept. 8. With all lights on, hundreds of workers and ten-odd trucks and earthmovers were busy with the project construction to ensure a successful international beach volleyball match during the China Hunan International Tourism Festival to be held since Sept. 12.
As one of the major events of the upcoming tourism festival, 2015 International Beach Volleyball Friendly Match & the First Changde Beach Volleyball Match is scheduled to take place at the Beach Park of Liuye Lake. The court is estimated to be the only one of its kind in Hunan built based on related international standards. Located in front of Huashan Park and on the north side of Zhantian Lake, the Beach Park covers an area of 226,000 square meters. Initiated in February, the construction takes full advantage of the trend of its shorelines and rich wetland resources.
As scheduled, participants will be divided into two groups to compete for the match. Group A for international friendly match consists of 4 German teams and 4 local teams, while group B for county-level match or above are attended by Changde beach volleyball enthusiasts. So far 4 female teams and 10 male teams have been registered.
