It is a hot summer in August in Shanghai, which is a good opportunity for people to do sports. Recently, a pleasant place for sports in Baoshan has made a splash in the Friends Circle of Wechat. It has a stadium for popular sports such as basketball and rock climbing and provides novel sports events that are rarely seen in Shanghai such as diving and surfing for residents. As the concept of “urban sports center” has been proposed in Shanghai these years, more diversified stadiums appear, serving as new fitness places, new facilities for consumers, new urban space, and new landmarks of healthy Shanghai.

Experience the Seaside Sports without Going out of Shanghai

Wearing the swim fins, swim suit, and swimming mask, you can experience the most appealing diving event of travel in Southeast Asia in an indoor venue. Many residents are attracted by these beautiful pictures and head for indoor diving in the Shanghai S10 International Diving Club located in Baoshan Bridge Life Sports and Culture Park.

Walking in the stadium, you can see a statue of the Sea King and decoration of Instagram style and feel as if you were on vacation in the seaside. According to the founder of the S10 International Diving Club, the stadium is the only diving venue that have a 10-meter-deep pool in Shanghai. Its name S10 means Shanghai 10-meter diving.

Speaking of seaside, people will think of surfing except diving. Less than one kilometer away from S10 there is HD Wind, a sports club that has the largest equipment for countercurrent surfing

The waves simulated by the equipment enable surfing lovers in Shanghai to feel like surfing in Hawaii.

“In the early time in Shanghai, only the Playa Maya Water Park has countercurrent surfing equipment which is mainly for the purpose of entertainment. It is disappointed for native Shanghai people who were born in a coastal city but cannot have fun in surfing.” Apart from surfing, HD Wind has archery, simulated skiing, skateboarding, and etc.

Develop Emerging Business Formats in the “Golden Edge and Silver Corner”

Within three kilometers around Bridge Life and Xin Yangwan Science Park in Baoshan District, there are many emerging sports business formats including S10 and HD Wind. Why do the entrepreneurs who love novel and funny sports prefer to open stadiums in this area?

A relevant person in charge said that he gave up diving in other places around the world like many domestic diving lovers after the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Then he decided to open a diving club which could satisfy his own desire for diving and help more people experience the charm of diving without going out of Shanghai. Due to the positioning of sports and culture park and great atmosphere of sports in Bridge Life, he decided to open the diving club here.

Additionally, an important driver for the success of relevant business formats is the strong support for sports industry from the government. “We have high requirements for venues to place the surfing equipment. General business buildings cannot meet our needs.”

Since Xin Yangwan Science Park and Bridge Life are industrial parks that are developed in Baoshan and whose buildings meet such requirements, they are selected as the venue for these novel sports events.

Funders of these clubs are also peers of consumers of the urban sports center. As the domestic economy develops and people’s living standard is continuously improved, the white-collar, as the most fashionable group, have higher demand for sports. The urban sports center brings new possibilities for them. We believe that there will be more stadiums labelled with “the first one in Shanghai” and “Internet-famous one” in Baoshan.
