    At 10 a.m. on September 23, the fourth Tour of China in Changsha was officially unveiled at Times King City. Professional cyclists from countries throughout the world would fight for their honor here. Hunan Province Deputy Governor Li Youzhi and Xia Jianping, the deputy mayor of the capital, Changsha, attended the opening ceremony, putting the race in the spotlight.

    The Tour of China, a representative sports event organized by the General Administration of Sports, has its fourth running this year. The race kicked off on September 23 in Xi'an--a city of historical significance--and ended in Tianjin, thus covering a long route past cities such Chengdu, Chongqing, Yueyang and Wuhan. On the afternoon of the first day, the race was soaked in rain. Finally, Daniel Klemme of Team Leopard Trek, Luxembourg, won the Le Maillot Jaune, the symbol of victory.

    Cycling is a green sport that fascinates people everywhere with its passion and challenge. At the competition, the cyclists presented an enjoyable spectacle, and the aerial shots above Times King City by CCTV5 brought even more excitement to the fans and spectators.

    Because the Tour of China is the biggest, most influential international cycling event, the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and the Hunan Government attached great importance to the game. With the organizing committee strictly implementing on-site inspection, they chose the square at Times King City (Changsha) as the starting point, thus fully approving of the environment and quality of its Project & Marketing Center as a resting place and headquarters for provincial/municipal leaders and guests. The move was a testament to the remarkable brand strength of Times Property as well as its competitive edge in landscape. The event amply enhanced its influence in the property market.
