In 2017, the county was recognized a national sports industry base. In 2019, the county was known for its role in hosting the Canoe Polo Asian Cup and the The North Face 100 Ultra Trail Challenge. As of this month, the county has organized 19 editions of 3×3 basketball competitions and attracted over 50 teams.<\/p>\n

The city neighbors Hangzhou. It will take less than one hour to reach downtown Hangzhou<\/a> or Hangzhou<\/a> International Airport by car or about 10 minutes by high-speed rail. Local transportation authorities said that more projects integrating Deqing to Hangzhou’s metropolis circle will be put into service before the Asian Games.<\/p>\n

3×3 basketball was developed from street basketball and is considered to be the world’s most popular urban team sport. Approximately 182 countries and regions participate in global competitions, with the number of players practicing the sport exceeding 430,000.<\/p>\n
