The China Family Sailing Race-COLMO Yixing kicked off in the Tuangui scenic area in Yixing, Wuxi, on Aug 24, attracting over 100 participants from multiple Chinese cities to compete over two days on Hobie T1 and Hobie T2.

He Xiaojun from Guangzhou, champion of the 2023 China Family Sailing Race, was impressed by Yixing's natural resources.

"Besides exciting races, the Yixing stop also arranged abundant activities for both racers and tourists," said He. "The purple clay teaware activity is quite special, allowing us to make souvenirs all by ourselves."

The making of lacquered fans, folded fans, and paper-cuts – each a unique aspect of local folk culture – drew numerous participants. They were also swept up in the lively atmosphere created by band performances, interactive games, and a bustling cultural bazaar that came alive at night.

Initiated in 2018, the China Family Sailing Race has organized 66 races in 23 cities around the country.

In recent years, Yixing has ramped up efforts to build an international city. While tapping its cultural and tourism resources, the city has actively promoted the integrated development of culture, sports, and tourism industries.

Currently, Yixing has hosted a series of influential sports events, including Taihu Lake International Road Cycling Race and World Snooker Tour.
