With the new semester approaching this September, the Tongzhou Campus of Renmin University of China will welcome its very first cohort of students. Let us explore and illuminate the sports map of the BMC, stretching from the banks of the Grand Canal to the historic site of Lucheng.

Located at the northwest corner of the campus, the 26,000㎡ stadium has earned triple certification from FIFA, World Athletics, and the Chinese Athletics Association. It features one standard athletics track, one standard 11-a-side football pitch, and six standard basketball courts.

Adjacent to the stadium is a 15,000㎡ sports area: two 5-a-side football pitches, five standard volleyball courts, four standard tennis courts, and eight standard basketball courts.

Beneath the Student Affairs Center lies a table tennis room. Bright and spacious, it is neatly equipped with well-arranged tables, ready for use at any time.

Student Community Gym

Conveniently located within the student dormitory area, the gym is divided into zones tailored to different training needs, providing a comprehensive workout environment.

This zone is an ideal partner for beginners, featuring neatly arranged treadmills and elliptical machines. Electronic displays track workout data in real time—speed, distance, and calories burned are all instantly visible.

A wide array of professional equipment is available, ranging from arm trainers to rowing machines for sculpting back muscles.

Next to the machine area is the free weight zone, where rows of dumbbells are neatly organized. Shock-absorbing mats reduce equipment collision noise to a minimum.

Spacious and bright, the yoga room is fully equipped with mats, resistance bands, light dumbbells, yoga blocks, and other professional gear.

Students can burn calories with dynamic workouts, stretch and sculpt by the barre, and unleash energy and rhythm before mirrored walls here.

Let’s step outside the campus and walk into Tongzhou so that we can light up the urban map with sports and experience the growth of the BMC.

As the first comprehensive sports complex in the BMC, the center offers a wide range of indoor and outdoor facilities, including basketball, badminton, tennis, swimming, ice skating, and football. It also features supporting amenities such as restaurants, juice bars, tea lounges, and therapy areas, providing sports enthusiasts with a holistic leisure and fitness experience.

Located on Xinhua Street, the core functional area of Tongzhou Stadium includes “three halls, one field, and one center”—a swimming hall, a basketball and badminton hall, an ice hockey hall, the main stadium, and a public sports center. The swimming hall and basketball & badminton hall are now open, inviting you to experience state-of-the-art facilities.

With a total building area of approximately 19,320㎡, the Urban Central Green Vitality Hub consists of a sports hall, a themed hotel, and a dining center. The sports hall alone spans about 9,667㎡, featuring three standard basketball courts, fifteen badminton courts, three tennis courts, and a sports café.

Planned as a major metropolitan forest park within the BMC, this landmark project is located at the intersection of the Sixth Ring Road and the North Canal, covering an area of 11.2 square kilometers. It includes a tennis center, a sports complex, athletic fields, and a 5.5-kilometer fitness trail.

After its renovation, Yunchaojian River Park now offers an open landscape system with integrated functions for tourism, leisure, entertainment, and fitness.

Spanning over 10,000 mu, the Grand Canal Forest Park features cycling paths along both sides of the canal. The 10-kilometer loop route offers continuous scenic views, with the charm of the canal unfolding with every pedal forward.

Visitors can experience the allure of water sports amidst the breathtaking scenery of the Grand Canal. With paddle and board in hand, set off on a carefree journey over the water—becoming, for a while, a true “hero riding the waves.”
