A group of students from Nanjing University recently visited Rugao, a county-level city in Nantong, Jiangsu province, to survey the development of the city's sports sector.

They visited several middle and primary schools, the Olympic center, a fitness center, the Nantong Zhiyun football club, and several sports venues throughout the city to study them and offer suggestions.

In recent years, Rugao has been focusing on the sports sector and has established 27 sports associations and 24 clubs. It also has around 936 places where residents regularly go to do their morning and evening exercises.

The city has organized several activities to advocate national fitness, including marathons and cycling events.
