Rongshui Ethnic Sports Park

　　Rongshui Ethnic Sports Park, initially built in 2007 and renovated in 2012, with a total investment of 30.5 million yuan. The athletic field covers an area of 15,531 m², with 4,703 m² of landscaped turf. The front gate, podium, and the base of the oval stands around the venue are constructed with concrete frame structures, while the tops feature wooden structures. These designs fully incorporate the essence of Miao architecture, highlighting features such as stilted construction, upturned eaves on pavilion ridges, carved railings, and green-tiled roofs, showcasing rich ethnic architectural and cultural significance. The park includes a football field, a standard 400-meter plastic track with eight curves and ten straights, as well as facilities for high jump, long jump, and other sports. With its innovative and majestic overall design, it has been vividly dubbed the “Bird’s Nest” of the Miao Mountains and is one of the iconic buildings of the autonomous county. It can accommodate approximately 25,000 spectators.

　　The main venue serves as a central hub for sports events, large-scale cultural activities, and recreational fitness. The concept of national fitness is becoming increasingly popular in Rongshui, with various football and track and field events held here. The ethnic groups of the autonomous county—including the Miao, Yao, Dong, and Zhuang—have, throughout history, created not only material civilization but also a wealth of spiritual culture, with a profound foundation in outstanding traditional ethnic and folk culture. The county regularly hosts major cultural events at the main venue, such as the Miao lusheng grand dance, lusheng mutual celebration, Miao drum-pulling, and firecracker snatching. These events play a positive role in inheriting and promoting ethnic culture, safeguarding their spiritual homeland, and advancing the development of ethnic tourism.
