      The fourth International Military Sports Council (CISM) World Cadet Games started on Saturday at the Fuerte Tiuna military base in Caracas, Venezuela's capital, with a Chinese delegation of over 130 cadets leading the march across the rostrum.

      It is the first time for a Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) sports delegation to participate in a CISM World Cadet Games.

      The Chinese delegation is composed of students selected from military academies, including the National University of Defense Technology, the Army Infantry College of PLA, and the PLA Army Academy of Artillery and Air Defense.

      Over 490 military cadets from nine countries are competing in seven events during the six-day games, including military pentathlon, orienteering, shooting, swimming, track and field, volleyball, and fencing.

      The World Cadet Games was initiated in 2010 with the aim of enhancing understanding and friendship among military personnel globally.

      In preparation for the upcoming 9th Asian Winter Games, local authorities in Harbin, capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, are adorning competition venues and city transportation facilities with a variety of promotional signs and decorations to enrich the event's vibrant ambiance.

      In Harbin, a multitude of Games emblems, slogans, and banners adorn the main streets, complemented by advertisements on bridges and facades. Besides, landscape lighting has been installed around the Games' main venues.

      "We have installed over 10,000 pairs of lamp post banners and more than 9,800 pairs of flags on fences along the main streets citywide, and around the competition venues and the venues for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Asian Winter Games. Additionally, various lighting decorations have been incorporated into the streets surrounding the venues for the opening and closing ceremonies. The city's intensifying efforts to enhance its atmosphere," said Li Chun, head of atmosphere-building work at the publicity department of the executive committee of the 9th Asian Winter Games.

      In the next phase, the local authorities will install over 200 atmosphere-building installations at key locations such as the Harbin Taiping International Airport and the railway stations. These installations will include arrival and departure signs, promotional posters for the Chinese Lunar New Year, and the Chinese character "Fu," which signifies good fortune.

      "We will organize a diverse range of cultural and sports activities to promote and enrich the ambiance of the Asian Winter Games. Furthermore, we will add posters and paintings for the Chinese Lunar New Year to blend the atmosphere of the Asian Winter Games with the Lunar New Year, celebrating this sporting event together," Li said.

      Moreover, the special railway line for the Asian Winter Games officially began operation on Monday, with direct standard-speed passenger trains connecting Beijing and the Yabuli South Railway Station in Yabuli Town, Shangzhi City of Heilongjiang, being added for the first time.

      As the Games will be hosted in Harbin and Yabuli, the fastest travel time between Harbin and Yabuli by high-speed trains is one hour and two minutes. Additionally, a high-speed train will depart every seven minutes between the two competition zones.

      The 9th Asian Winter Games, scheduled for Feb 7 to 14 in Harbin, marks China's first major international ice and snow event since the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

      The Games have received over 1,200 athlete registrations from 34 countries and regions across Asia so far. This is expected to make it the edition with the highest number of participating countries, regions, and athletes.
