At the same time of organizing interesting events rooted in local folk customs, such as the Loong Boat Friendship Competition, the corn kneading competition, the weight-bearing relay competition, and the potato kneading competition, the event has also introduced relatively professional events, such as E-sports, basketball, and billiards, to the grass-roots level. In terms of the number of participants in each competition, the number of participants has exceeded 1000, which has greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the local people for fitness and national sports.
The successful hosting of the 'Village Games' event has allowed the concept and practical activities of national fitness to penetrate into the grassroots level, further improving the health level and happy quality of life of the masses. At the same time, with the platform of the Village Games, the local scenery and folk customs of Liuheng Town have been promoted to the whole country, integrating sports competition with cultural and tourism innovation, bringing many benefits such as the gathering of young consumer groups, the gathering of emerging industries, and the development of cultural and tourism economy, further releasing the urban vitality of Liuheng, bringing new assistance to our rural revitalization path, better serving the people of the islands, and promoting the common prosperity of the islands. "Yu Xiaojun, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Liuheng Town, mentioned this Village Games and gave high recognition.
In recent years, facing the trend of gradually increasing penetration rate of esports events, Huya has been focusing on the sinking market and continuously making efforts to explore more possibilities of "rural+esports". Since the beginning of this year, a series of rural sports events led by Huya, mainly focused on e-sports, have been held successively. While continuing to explore the blue ocean of the sinking market, it has also provided a new window and opportunity for local cultural tourism to go national. Huya Rural Games have gradually become the star IP of Huya's self-made events, emitting unique charm and glory in the field of rural revitalization. (CIS)
