The 20th Asian Games (亚运会) opened in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, on September 19, 2026. When people talked about the Games, they often connected them with medals, records and exciting matches. But this year, there was another part worth paying attention to: people could also discover Asia through food, music and cultures.

During the Games, an official celebration fan zone called One Asia World was held in Nagoya. The cultural event ran from September 19 to October 4, the same time as the Asian Games. Visitors could watch performances, taste food and learn about different Asian cultures. The event showed that a sports festival could be much more than just a competition.

Sports helped people from different places understand one another. Athletes spoke different languages, but they shared the same field and rules. They trained hard, competed fairly and cheered for each other. These moments built friendship that was not limited to the stadium.

For young people, the Asian Games were a special lesson. By watching games and exploring the cultures around the event, they learned that Asia had many differences as well as connections. Winning a medal was important for athletes. However, meeting new people and learning about the world was also a valuable part of the Games. Such experiences helped young people know more about others and know Asia from a new point of view.

21. People seldom connected the Asian Games with medals, records and exciting games.

22. The fan zone One Asia World lasted more than one month in Nagoya.

23. One Asia World shows the Asian Games were both a cultural event and a sports competition.
